Status update!

Last week was a slow week with lots of excuses: my knee is not feeling well, my body hurts, I have chores to do, and .......

Truth is, the first week took its toll, and my body needed some time to recover. I know that I have the tendency to jump at things as soon as they are in front of me. I'm sure that we have all taken some time away from working out, and when we start up again we think that we are right where we left off. I am no exception to that. The body needs time to build up to longer distances and heavier weights (why do you think training for a marathon starts you out with walking?). Having said that, this week has started in moderation. Yesterday I ran for 3 miles, and today I did a small brick (18 mile bike ride, and 1 mile run). The good news is that I didn't cramp, but I still can't believe how hard it is to run after riding the bike. Tomorrow I have to go and buy a new clip card for the pool since I managed to wash the one I had (at least this time, it wasn't a check that a client has given me for payment). I'll keep you updated on how the rest of the week shapes up.
