Up to 60% off athletic shoes at Amazon prime day for all the shoe junkies on this thread.
Saw that @MaterS - Thanks for sharing! Limited brands and styles but still good to look.
We all need to buy Instapots on Amazon today so we can share healthy recipes.
Tom Selleck or Sam Elliott for iDad.
Weights 7-8 and fluid running 8-9. May do yoga later on, not sure. Beastly hot here.
Aggravated though!
To set the context, my pool is part of a park district. Fluid Running is an outside company that comes in and offer classes, which (obviously) you pay for. The park district offers other classes (such as for those w arthritis), Masters swimming and open swimming. So the pool is 6 lanes; we take up lanes 1,2,3 and then 4,5,6 are open for lap swimming (though typically they are unoccupied when we are there).
There were 2 women in lane 5 who instead of lap swimming were doing fluid running! IOW, they weren’t part of the class but they were listening to the music and following the teacher’s directive and doing the exact same moves, etc. Apparently they do this every class but I hadn’t noticed since normally I’m in the 1st row and today I happened to be in the 2nd row and turned around to say hi to an acquaintance in the 3rd row.
So I (being me) brightly said to them - oh, there’s room up here in the 3rd row! Oh, no, we’re fine here. Really? Are you enrolled in FR? No, but we’ve been doing this for years and this is a public pool. Oh? So you don’t pay for the class but you’re taking it anyway?
I was really frosted (and it affected my workout). There’s a lifeguard but she’s a high school girl and she doesn’t GAS. I told the instructor after class. I don’t know how much FR will go to bat since they don’t want to tick off the park district - they need our pool. I don’t want to be a tattletale but it’s just not right. FR deserves to be paid if you take their class, and it’s being a freeloader to stand 2 rows back and follow all the moves.
Argh!
For them to answer “this is a public pool” - is so obnoxious. Yes, it clearly is. Do you steal their toilet paper rolls in the bathroom too “because it’s public”!!!
That is really obnoxious, PG. I think FR should say something- at least to shame them!
Pizzagirl, that’s very obnoxious. You have every right to be irritated. Any chance you can organize a few master swimmers to show up and actually do laps, preferably butterfly, in those lanes? 
One week after stopping prednisone and I’m down to 261 lb (I was ~269 when I stopped last week).
I’m hoping for another 5ish pounds down by a family member’s wedding next weekend (a week from this weekend).
Bunsen- I was thinking exactly that! Or some triathletes with kickboards and hand paddles.
Last night was a very hot 6 mile run. Tonight’s running club meeting is cancelled because Donald Trump is having a rally in our town tonight. I can only imagine what the traffic is going to be like. I should be OK to run on the trail by our house, though, so I’m planning to run there instead. I would like to get a 7 mile run in tonight but it is so hot and humid that I will be happy with anything over 5.
PG - I can’t quite fathom essentially attending a class without paying for it, but I guess some people take pride in figuring out ways to game the system. It seems pretty rude to me.
Romani - congrats on the weight loss, that must be a good feeling. I hope you make that goal for next weekend’s wedding but either way it’s great that you are off the prednisone.
Are you in Chicago as well, C3Baker? I’m staying out in the 'burbs - nowhere near downtown, don’t want to get caught up in all that! I am unsure whether the fundraiser is at the Trump Tower or elsewhere – reports seem conflicting.
Congrats Romani - I too am glad you are off prednisone.
No, Trump will be in Indiana tonight.

The event starts at 7:30pm. Doors open at 4:30. A friend posted a picture that I saw at lunchtime of people already lined up at noon. Yikes!
Ah, got it. Thanks!
Phew, dodged that one, Pizzagirl! I am so thankful for the underground tunnels in my city. Whenever there is mayhem downtown, the tunnel provides a decent escape route. Even if it means taking 3 buses/trains! 
Ordered that Instapot. Absolutely, let’s share healthy recipes!
That sort of stuff drives me nuts, PG. It’s like people cutting in line (which I always call out). Or people tagging along a tour group when they didn’t pay.
I ordered one, too. We are going to be soooo healthy!!
So freakin’ hot here that dinner consisted of 1 peach and 1 coffee-flavor Greek yogurt!
It was 92 here today- and still fairly humid. Not good. I have a 5K on Saturday that is a corporate team race. Should be unpleasant! The prizes are really good, and last year it was a small race. There are gift certificates, etc. I will not wear the sweater vest that passes as my team racing shirt, however.
I can’t think of a more incompatible combo than 92 degrees and a sweater vest. 92 degrees calls for #noshirtrunning.
Well, it will be about 72 at race time Saturday. Definitely either no shirt or else my Oiselle ambassador singlet.
