Great week! I sure hope your foot calms down! I’m taking a couple weeks off to rest mine (along with my entire body).

Congrats on your time and placement at the 10k. My foot is still a problem too, but better. We haven’t taken our boat out yet, but I should be water skiing in a couple of weeks. Hooray!
