Back on the hamster wheel

Metaphorically speaking, of course. I have been busy with work and photography assignments for most of my waking hours it seems for the past couple of weeks, so I have not had the time or inclination to keep up with my exercise routine. No more excuses though, so one of my non-negotiables today was to hit the pool. It just seems to require more and more effort to keep that metabolism humming along as the years go by. I took Logan to the park earlier too, but it was so hot that even he couldn't muster much more than an apathetic stroll and a brief wallow in the shallows of the lake.
