Day 1!

And... I didn't train. Long story. I hope I can do this.

Beautiful Day!

Even though we haven't officially started yet, I couldn't resist the beautiful (hot!) day. Jonathan took both kids to a birthday party, and I headed to the canal path for a "run" workout. To stay within the target HR, I was walking instead of running-- and even then, I was above where I should have been. I walked an hour, HR averaging 135-140. I can't believe I'm doing this.

T Minus 2 Days

Yesterday, I swam with renewed enthusiasm. I swam 1600 meters (yards?)-- 600 more than my usual self-workout.

Today, I worked, survived a miserable playdate that didn't quite go according to my 5-year-old's plans, and survived the rest of the evening with a miserable 5-year-old. I did not exercise. I probably could & should now... eh.

"Official" training starts Monday.
