Did you say 12 years?

I'm back in the pool, People!

After ~12 years away, and reading about several of you training in the pool, I got the bug to swim some serious laps. My MIL, who is the best MIL anyone could ask for, got me a 7 day pass to her pool. Then I will decide if I am going to join this place for just a swim pass - we already have a gym membership through my hub's work, but the place doesn't have a pool and it is hard to justify joining another.

I've often thought I should do tri's since the swimming would be my strongest part and that seems to be where some people struggle. Well, we'll see on that one (I still have a fear of being run over and killed while training on the bike :P), but for now, I'm enjoying building up strength and endurance in a new setting.

I dug out an old Speedo racer suit and some goggles. In truth it took me about 15 seconds to find. Crap! Now I really have to give it a try!! After I got over the initial shock of shimmying into that suit, it wasn't too bad.


Sunday - Swim - 1.2 miles
Monday - Swim - 1 mile ( OH. MY. SHOULDERS. ARE. SORE.)
Tuesday - Run - 1 single mile - 10:44 - I only had time for one but that is smokin for me :D
Wednesday - Swim - 1 mile ( even tried an IM!!) I'm doing a mile in about 33 minutes
Thursday - OFF

We had a great little valentine dinner with the kids, "tapas" that was little white castle's, wings, mac/cheese, chicken nuggets, etc in cute little pans. Thanks, Honey, for making it special for us and thanks for the last 7 years. We met 7 years ago on a blind date on Valentine's Day!!

Hope you all enjoyed your Valentine's Day.

Thanks again for participating in the race. I haven't posted in a while because I like to let the Race Results "sit" for a bit. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the race and the report. You've maybe noticed it has been updated a few times and more results came in. jkrunning, Tom, cewtwo, and slb+ have all been added.
