May 1st
/So far this month I have:
* Done my 20 laps and 1.5 miles.
*Washed dishes, washed clothes and washed three cute little faces.
*Made banana bread, made breakfast, and made my bed.
*Bought flowers, cut flowers, bundled flowers, and delivered flowers (it was a bit of a flop...no one was home- Happy May Day anyways).
*Made some lunch, ate some lunch, enjoyed some lunch, and ate some more lunch.
Organized seeds, planted seeds, talked to seeds (necessary), and watered seeds.
*Read the paper, read a book, read the nutritional information on the package of ice cream bars in my freezer. (decided they weren't worth it)
*Sat with a cup of coffee, sat with my dog, sat with my laptop.
This evening will bring concerts in the park, strawberry shish-kebabs, blankets on the grass, and maybe even some dancing.
It is going to be a good month!
Trying a Tri
/I am training for a triathlon. It is hard.
Swimming is the hardest. Monday, Wednesday, Friday- 16 laps.
I am not a natural. If only I had gills, then I'd be fierce.
Next comes the bike. Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday 13 miles. My butt hurts pretty bad. I'm am starting to think that would be sweet to compete with a big huge granny seat on my bike.
Running: Monday, Wednesday, Friday. 3 miles. I found an app for my phone that is helping me run at intervals. I am working up to running the whole thing.
I have been surprised/ashamed at how sedentary I have become. Gristle burning and muscle building apparently doesn't just happen. It takes effort. And a lot of it.
That is all. I am tired.
