Quick update

I did intervals on the treadmill Wednesday morning. It was so nice out, I wondered if I should be doing them outside instead.

I must have jinxed the weather.

Later in the day it started raining. And this morning it was cold, there's snow on the mountains, and it's windy. Bleck!

Anyway, I swam again! I had trouble with my goggles leaking which is weird; my goggles never leak. After about 15minutes of struggling, I figured out that my swim cap wasn't on so well. It was riding up the back of my head, taking the goggles up as well. Once I sorted that out, the goggles were fine and I got into a nice rhythm. But I only got 1250 yards in as a result of lost time fiddling with goggles.

Afterwards, I did some upper body strength work. I expect my arms will be sore in the morning.

If the weather cooperates, I plan to get out on my bike tomorrow. I also found a friend to go with me to Zumba, so I'll be checking that out as well. I'll let you know how it goes!!

  7. I forgot where you lived for a moment - I thought "if the weather cooperates, I plan to get out on my bike tomorrow" and I realized that you aren't from my parts. It's snowy and icy here right now. Gross. Enjoy your ride!

  8. Looks like you're back in full "tri-mode". I like intervals, sort of. I think your bad weather is headed our way today, bummer after yesterday's gorgeous afternoon. Enjoy zumba- sounds like fun.

  13. Great swim! Funnily enough I had the same goggle issue last week and wondered why they were "suddenly" leaking.... then a fellow fishee pointed out I had a hat "issue"!!! Lesson learnt there then!

  15. I always opt for running outside when given the choice. Much better workout for my soul.

    Nice job with the swim in spite of the goggle problems.

  17. Aargh. Goggles. I can't count how many times their fogginess and leakiness have messed up my swim. But then, they've sort of made my swim a lot of other times.

    Good job getting the intervals done - inside or outside - they're DONE.
