Have you done it yet? I still haven't tried. I am really commiting myself to more running for my marathon. But I am missing my swim workouts. Maybe sometime this week I can make a little time for some water! Let me know what you think!!
ReplyDeleteNot yet. Depending on how my back does when I attempt an easy run tomorrow, I may or may not be doing pool-heavy workouts this week. If so, I hope to try this out. It looks sweet!! Thanks!
