Wednesday Feb 24

It's raining & wet outside, so I have bagged running for today. I am not sure when I'll get over the soaking rain run hump, but hopefully I'll push through this yet other hurdle soon.

The running route has increased to 4 1/2 miles. The first attempt was not that great with time. I walked quite a bit causing my time to swell to 50 minutes. Why is this so difficult! It's just another mile.
The second and third attempt did give me a better overall time, I actually did the entire 4 1/2 mile run in 40 minutes. I thought this was pretty good, until I got home and my bubble was burst with my daughter saying that a mile should be done in 4 1/2 minutes. Seriously, 4 1/2 minutes for one mile, that means the whole trek should be done in 17 minutes? Oh good lord.....

Swimming is easier and the goggles have helped so much. I am still pulling 44 laps with the breast stroke though. Have not gotten the crawl down with the ear plugs that do not work. I can not have water sloshing in my ears every time I come up for air.

New ear plugs and another try this Thursday with 64 laps doing the crawl.

Stopped drinking wine & beer seven days ago. I thought for sure I'd shed some weight by eliminating the booze, but no, not at all. Must be all that good home cooking!

This weekend I am going to have the mountain bike tuned up and plan on hitting pavement. Of course, providing that there isn't rain in the forecast.

I am looking forward to March which has 4 1/2 weeks of training time. We'll see what Thursday and this weekend brings.
