I have to runfess that I need to calm down on shouting SWIFTS AHOY when I see people from the Swifts club and when I see my friend Dave crossing a finish line, "How's your groin?" is not an appropriate shout-out. I get excited at races, though ...

That photo mix up is ridiculous but I love your 'cover up' for it! Lol <br /><br />You know I'm a Newton fan and for the most part I have been pretty pleased with their color choices. However, I would like to have some normal color options like red and blue. I've actually been tempted to buy the men's version several times.findingfabulousatfiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13386356418087346612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-33680625620249930062018-09-29T12:33:21.414-05:002018-09-29T12:33:21.414-05:00That's so funny/not funny about the race photo...That's so funny/not funny about the race photo!
