and, the weather has turned cold. personally, i like to alternate short distances (at a faster pace), then the next workout is long, at a slower pace. we will not lie to you. let the water cool down for a few minutes, after it has reached its boiling point. i have had the opportunity to serve under two remarkable presidents who have devoted themselves to lifting the lives of others and to have inspired a great many more to do the same. in groups people look better than their own.
