Workout Variety

This week has been interesting for work outs:

1. I am trying to increase my swimming time. I'm trying to swim a mile each time instead of the 1/2 mile I was swimming. But I'm slow so right now only half is just me and half with fins. The fins make it a little easier, but it's still pretty darn hard. But I've been doing this for about 4 weeks now, so it's going well.

2. One day I gave up a workout to help Tim shovel 8 inches of snow. Well actually I surprised him by getting 1/2 done before he woke up so he didn't have to rush before he left. He was so happy and I got a decent 1 hour workout. Something different to mix it up.

3. I already told you about my foo fighters run, well the next day Tim and I ran together. We walked 2 laps, ran a mile, walked 2 laps ran a mile and then walked 2 laps. (Probably about 2.5 miles total, but 2 running, .5 walking). He clocked our run times and our first mile was 10:20 and the second one was 10:02 baby. So happy about that.

4. Today I ran at the track with the track team!! Well they were there so i didn't really have a choice, but it is somewhat motivating. I actually didn't have my best run because I had to make a pit stop in the middle (I hate when the urge comes on!) and that 3rd mile I walked a little, but I did do some sprinting. The coach told me he was impressed with me, and I said "yeah right!" and he said "No, really, you did a great job!" So maybe he was sincere, but maybe he was flirting. either way, I'll take it!

5. Also today, we went to planet rock for some indoor climbing. I went until my arms would work no more. It was a total blast. I have a feeling I'll be sore tomorrow.

So much for blah winter workouts!
