Saturday Crack-a-lackin’ 8-24-19

I didn't get up until after 6:00 AM on Saturday.  I had to be at the church by 8:30 to fill the Baptismal Font for a 10AM Service.  Since the family is out of town I was doing all the farm chores myself so I was running to the church after chores.  I then had to be to the Country fair grounds from 10Am to 5:00 PM to help with flock testing and registration for the fair that is being help in two weeks.  I left the church at 9:30AM and considered getting something to eat since I didn't know if I would get a lunch break (I didn't) but instead decided to try to get in a 15 minute swim since I was in town with time to kill.  Was 7 minutes and 390 yds into the swim when my little brother called to tell me how his Marathon training run went.  He is doing his first marathon in 6 weeks and had this Idea that he would run the full marathon at training pace on Saturday.  He did a 19 mile run on the course with a group last week and felt invincible.  He went back with the group and learned what the runner's wall ia at mile 21.  I could be prouder of him. Be had to build him back up and let him know that he did really good for his first 21+ mile run.  So I got exactly 7 minutes of swimming for my training on Saturday.  I am racing next Saturday, so it was a rest day.  The race will be a 400yrd pool swim, so I got the practice swim for the race in.  I am feeling good and look forward to racing next week.
