A Day of First on the Healthy Potomac

There's a first time for everything and today was definitely a day of firsts.

First, I joined the wonderful world of Five Fingers.  I purchased these so I can go paddle boarding (walking on rocks along the river's edge and to maintain a good grip onboard).

But I also did my first run with the Five Fingers.  I was able to connect with the earth beneath me, feeling liberating and invigorating.  But after several hundred yards, my feet started to feel sore.  That's when I shelved them for the next day.

The next first was the first time I went paddling, swimming, biking and running back-to-back.  The swim was in the Potomac upstream of Key Bridge around the rock islands was fresh and invigorating.
