I had good intentions this morning - to get up early and swim. But I put it off until early evening when I swam for 15 minutes. Later this evening, Patricia and I did hills, running uphill a lot. We did 3 loops in 50 minutes.

It was still a bit nippy when I went out to run and it turned out that I had overdressed. After about 5 minutes I was really hot and found it difficult to run. I did 2:1's for the first 20 minutes and then walked for the balance. When I was done, I went straight to the Aquatic Center and swam for 15 minutes.

I swam at the Aquatic Center this morning. The air was pretty cool,(in the 40's) but the water was a warm 79. I did laps for 20 minutes. By the time I was done, the sun was shining and the rays were warm. I got into the locker room, though, as fast I could!

The weather was terrific this morning, crisp and clear. I ran for 35 minutes in an attempt to make up for the 3 miles I was short yesterday.

Fort Bend Fit met at Sugar Land Memorial Park. The full training group was set to do 11 miles. I started out with the Orange runners and ran intermittently for the first 1:20. It was cold and windy and dark. When I got close to my house,I took a detour to use the restroom and convinced Stan to drive me part of the way back. I cut off 1 mile, running the final mile back to the park. There was an optional 2 mile loop but I didn't do it. Since I hadn't done a long run last weekend and just started running instead of walking, I thought it would be best to ease back into things.

I went to the Aquatic center mid morning and swam for 20 minutes. It was not crowded, so I had a lane to myself. I can see my arms reshaping. It's getting easier, again -I wasn't as tired this time as I was the other day,

Today was my first day back at running. I walked for 3 minutes and then did intermittnet intervals for 20 minutes. I'm going to try running this Satuday with Fort Bend Fit.

If you've been a longtime visitor to my blog, you'll notice the new heading - Year 4.
It's hard to believe that this next chapter will be my fourth year of training. Although this Spring's switch is a focus on my first Triathlon, I still plan to continue long distance running/walking.
All of my previous entries, including how I lost a lot of weight and the link to that diet, along with my First Marathon are below, just a click away.
