Swim: 3:34 (about 6 feet of actual swimming)Bike: 1:47:02 (26.02 miles)
Run: 1:17:25 (7.5 miles)
Yes. That is 3 minutes and 34 seconds. That was all I could stand!
I was so ready to swim today, too. No nerves at all, except as we got closer to Seward Park. It wasn't swim nerves, either. It was "I thought it was going to be warmer and did that sign just say it was only 46??" nerves.
Holy mother of our dear Lord Jesus Christ our savior..it was cold. It made Moses Lake...

Wow that is fun! Just did an hour on it. I like to start with 20 minutes of yoga, then do 20 of strength training, and 20 of cardio. I love the hula and the boxing game. Hit 1864 hula spins tonight! Yeah Baby! This is a girl who never did one complete REAL hula hoop. Oh the wonder of technology. I can pretend to be coordinated and no one is the wiser!I have a mini triathlon tomorrow. It's not a "race", but part of our training. The water is supposed to be about 51 degrees, so ne...

I think it was a LITTLE too soon after my marathon to attempt a hilly 12 mile run. Oh well.So I'm running home today. I'd told Roy I wasn't sure if I wanted to run the entire 15-16 miles home and he said "I could pick you up at some point so you'd only have to run part way." Okay! I suggested the park, and told him I'd call him if I decided to do the entire 16 miles.
So I'm at mile 9 and my legs are KILLING me, and it is FREEZING. The wind is whipping, it's about 50 out, it...

I ran and biked a total of 114.5 miles last week. Wow. When I think back to where I was seven years ago... Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd be able to do things like that.Today was a typical example.

So rather than sit home and watch gardening shows and DVDs, we hit the road at 9 a.m. Ran to the movie theater and watched Sex and th...
