The News Today

Before looking to start my work day, I read the news - CNN or NPR or LetsRun.com.  It really depends on where my interests and thoughts are during my morning drive in to work.  Anyways, this morning I had running on my mind so I went over to LetsRun to see if anything happened (overnight) with the running community.  Well, I found this entertaining post - good timing since I just spent my first day in the pool this week.

Luckily, I don't think I swim like a house cat, but I must admit I was very apprehensive getting into that pool.  I hadn't officially swam since college (outside of floating), so probably sometime in 2005. So, I knew that swimming and aqua jogging in a pool would feel foreign and awkward. AND IT DID.  I'm glad that Phill came with me, as it was clearly awkward for the both of us! 

Today, I will workout after work.  It's not clear what I will end up doing.  Probably some Pilates or sit-ups/push-ups in my house.  I may go over to the pool again Thursday.  Then, to the gym with Phill on Friday.  My upper body is getting attention!  Once I start running again (and shed the pounds of chocolate laced fat off my belly (I HAVE a problem)), I may have some nice looking arms and abs (finally)!  

Perhaps this injury happened for a reason (outside the obvious, real reasons).  I'll have the full body of a runnner this time...not just my legs....

Enjoy the day!
