Last week I started training for a 5k that will be held on 4th of July. Nothing big, just around my cute little town, but it's fun to train for something again. Of course, I'm super slow, but racing has never been about time for me. I like to push myself and see what my body can do, plus I like having an event to look forward to.

I did a mini workout/brick last night - 15 minute of spinning and 15 minutes of the treadmill. It felt good to be sweaty again :)

I've also started biking to the ferry since it's only a mile away. Why pay for the bus when I can just coast down the hill and save precious sleep time?

I don't even like running, but am sad that I found a sport I love and now I have to give it up. I think there has to be a couple of swim-bike ( Read more... )

Last night I swam a personal best in my 100 free of 1:20. YESSS!!!!! That's about 10 seconds faster than the last time I clocked myself, so I must be improving ( Read more... )

Still working on the fly, yesterday I basically took up the whole hour long class on it. I'm all sorts of messed up, but that makes sense because I've never actually learned how to do the fly. I tried looking up some youtube videos, and they were kinda helpful...and then I found some michael phelps videos and jesus that guy is FAST. He is so fluid ( Read more... )
