STOP BREATHING!

Gina had day 1 of the Shaker Sharks swim meet at CSU yesterday morning. The early-morning drive down was uneventful and we arrived at 7:10am. As we waited in line to get into the parking garage, we hear a loud crash/thud. The Ford Expedition in front of us rear-ended the mini-van in from of it. It was just a temporary loss of focus on the driver's part but air-bags deployed and everything. Not a good way to start the morning for them....

During one of the boy's events, a father of a swimmer was sitting behind us in the stands and was shouting/cheering for his son. Now for those of you that swim, you know that you cannot hear a word that anyone is saying while you are in the water. As parents, we always forget this and shout/yell/cheer loudly while our children are swimming.

Anyways, this man was cheering for his son, who I will call Tommy, "GO TOMMY! GO! GET HIM AT THE TURN! GREAT JOB! GO TOMMY GO! NOOOOOO!!! STOP BREATHING!!!" Denise and I started giggling and was almost laughing out loud! I am sure what the dad meant was "Stop breathing every stroke!" But in the heat of the moment, "Stop Breathing" is what he said.... Pretty funny...

I swapped my weekend run schedule with next week and completed 10 mile yesterday afternoon in the woods. Cold, blusterly, but an enjoyable run. I actually had ice/snow in my eyebrows, which was a first for me. Today's weather looks to be similar.

Ah, winter has arrived! Back to CSU this morning for day 2 of the swim meet. At least it is warm at the pool.
