I can swim!

Tags

 I had swim lessons last night, and we reviewed freestyle that we learned last week.  I had practiced a little at the pool in our complex on Sunday.  Last night the instructor told me that I had good form and had improved 100% since the last class!  YAY!  He also said I was well on my way to being able to do a triathlon.  Now I just need to PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE to build up endurance.  He gave me a few pointers, and I am hoping that I will continue to improve my form and build endurance.  We are not swimming very far right now, but I figure like running I will just slowly build up my distance.

Last night was also the first run of marathon training!  Woo-hoo!  After my swim lessons, I met Caitlin for a 4 mile run.  We were both really tired, but we did it anyway.  We finished in 44:51.  I am taking a rest day today to go out with my co-workers to see a movie.  I'm planning to do swimming then running on Wednesday.  Then Caitlin and I have a run planned for Friday.  I'd like to run another day as well, but I'm not sure which day yet.  I have a trail run planned with one of the running groups for Sunday.  I sadly will not be up for the 3 mile run in my Vibrams, but there is nothing wrong with my comfy running shoes.  Oh, speaking of my running shoes, those inserts seem to have cured my foot pain!  YAY!

Off to work, followed by tutoring, and movie night!  Have a great day all!
