Saturday June 16th - Old friends and salty water

This morning I drove down to Camp Pendleton to see two old friends from mine that I have now known for about 23 years now. Inga and Ericka Keithly. I wasn't sure if I was going to see Ericka, as she was on call at the hospital, so the visit was mainly to see Inga. Inga and I were Junior Homecoming Dates back in 1989 and also swam together on Blue Fins Swim Team (so did Ericka). I got to meet Inga and her boyfriend/fiance Jason along with all their friends doing the mud run. Oh boy what a place to go if you want to see perfectly chisled men. Ay yi yi. ANYWAY. Ericka eventually showed up too and I was able to spend some quality but way too brief amount of time with both Inga and Ericka. I can only hope that maybe during the holidays we can all get together and have dinner sometime. Here is a picture of the girls and me. As always, I don't take the best pictures, but the girls look fantastic:






After hanging with the girls, I headed back up to Long Beach. Since I had missed my normal Saturday long run and also the swim practice, I met up with our open water swim team and did about 0.8 miles in the ocean. I try and try to enjoy it, but its just not for me. I get dizzy having to look around and don't like the taste. I end up spitting out water for an hour after I get out. The fun part of it though was the casual swimming with friends on the team, which is the only reason for why I would do it again. That and since it wasn't wavey.
That evening, our good friends Chris and Jeff had their bachelor party to celebrate their soon to be domestic partnership. It was really fun. I will just post one picture that won't be too controversial (like the penis cake):
