Lake Monona with Steve

June 23, 2018 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: just gorgeous

Comments:
Did a lap around Lake Monona with my cousin Erin's husband Steve. Steve and I both did the Half Ironman here last year, and the running portion for that was also a lap around Lake Monona! Except this time we went the reverse way. So I didn't have quite as much PTSD as I would have if we went the same way as last year. Another thing is that I am doing a marathon on September 1st (Labor Day weekend RIP I was planning on coming to visit EL that weekend) which is two laps around Lake Monona.

Ok I feel like I mention my cousins and their husbands on here a lot so let's get a quick summary:

Cousin Kelly
-Lives in downtown Madison
-Works at Epic
-Has a husband named Ken that I swim and bike with

Cousin Megan
-Lives in west Madison
-Has a future husband (in about 8 hours from now) named Jeff whom I occasionally swim with

Cousin Erin
-Lives in Arkansas
-Professional triathlete for Team USA
-Has a husband named Steve

Ok let me talk about Steve. Before he met Erin, all he did was lift. Had never run, swum, or biked in his life. But Erin frankly did not give him a choice and whipped him into triathlon shape. He usually goes Paolo pace on runs so I worked him pretty hard today. Erin was pleased with that.
