Happenings

I signed up for an 8 week swim class with one of the local tri clubs and, based on people in attendance on the first day, I am the fastest one in the class. This might not be good for my development as a swimmer ... but it has done wonders for my self esteem. Sadly there are no cute boys in the class (other than the coach ...).

I was not, however, anywhere near the fastest runner in Saturday's 10-K. Arriving 13 minutes late and having to start AFTER they took away the starting mats (ie, not getting those 13 minutes deducted from my net time) made me look even slower than I already am. I finished at about 10:30 pace which is comfortable right now. In fact Tuesday night I went on a 6 mile run that felt A.M.A.zing (albeit very hot and sticky) at about the same pace.

Having resumed physical activity I find myself constantly ravenous. I'm trying to wait until 1 to eat lunch and I'm not sure I'm going to make it ...

This weekend is the oly tri that I am dreading. I think my mantra is going to be "slow and steady." And of course "don't drown."

I also might have a date this Wednesday. I haven't had a date in a million years and I'm not sure that I remember how to be fun and flirty. I'll try to update re: date before the tri so that you'll know how it goes just in case I do in fact drown!
