Return of the Pool Bum

My wife, Michelle, likes to call me "Pool Bum" because of my habit of hanging out there for an hour or two each day all through the summer, reading. Our complex's pool opened yesterday (Friday), so I am a happy man, and am two for two in getting there. I am trying to discipline myself to avoid "pool time" on any day this year until I have already completed my daily run, and so far have been successful in that, too. Today was warm (hot - 81 degrees), sunny, and humid, but I sallied forth anyway and did 10K (6.2 miles), although slower than I like. The ending reward of the pool was enticing, however!
