I had company

Today my sister Barb drove all the way from Surprise to join me for a swim. What a treat. Wow, such a long drive. I hope she enjoyed the swim. Unfortunately, there was no time for chit chat since I only have 2 hours to keep Cate in the child care- and I've only left her there for 1.5 hours at the most. We needed to get to work right away.

So, in the pool we went. I swam 20 laps and I did have to do breast stroke for 2 laps. Otherwise I did freestyle. Then I did a 50 kick. I need to work on my kick. I have a weak kick. So maybe on Friday I'll spend more time doing that. I did a 150 with fins, a 100 with the pull buoy and I think that was it. I sort of lost track. Barb did breast stroke and then finally got her hair wet with a little freestyle with the pull buoy toward the end. She kept on saying how relaxing it was. I on the other hand was gasping for air- to me it's really hard............ I guess when you're still in your twenties it must be easier. It's crazy to think I'm 13 years older. Geez.

So it was 30 minutes in the pool, Barb had to go back and work- and I hit the bike for 30 minutes. I was able to spin between 98 and 107 rpm at a level 9 and I made it 10 miles. Then I did a little ab work, and it was time to get Cate. We came home and had lunch- and now I'm about to put her down for a nap and hit the shower.

Hi Maggie!

I want you to keep doing this blog. Even when I read it I sometimes don't leave a comment. I think you are amazing, and I am very proud of the monumental effort you are putting forth! It is really showing, and I can't wait to see you do your first TRIATHLON!!!
