Fourth Swim 7.28.09

took Hannah & Grace to the pool with me this am around 11. this time with their new goggles. they loved them. i felt strong and was able to breath easier through my strokes. i swam 700 meters free-style, 200 meters kickboard & 200 meter arm workout w/ floats. enjoyed this swim and so did the girls.

07.26.09

cant wait to get a GPS watch to log my pace, splits etc. tonight Jenn St. Aubin & Kelly came over to run. before they arrived at 8:30 i ran 2.70 miles around my neighborhood. once they came we ran enough to equal 6 miles for my total run. the first 2 miles were at a good clip. the last 4 not so much. immediately after the run i had my 6 oz of cold, non-fat, chocolate milk...YUM!!

07.25.09 saturday circuit training

got up at 8am to go to Kelly's 9:30 class. since Kelly injured her foot she planned a circuit training class for us. 2 minute sessions of tricep dips, squats w/ weights of step, dead lifts, push ups, grass hoppers off the ball & oblique sit ups. this torture last an hour but was thankful that i did it once i got home.

08.01.09 run

met Teresa in foxwood for our evening run around 8pm. this was a saturday night & we decided that A. either we had no social life running on a saturday or B. we are just that dedicated! not sure which. It was hot, which i probably don't need to mention again the rest of the summer since it can just be assumed. We ran from T's house, out Foxwood and into Champion's Club. At mile 2 1/2 we stopped at her moms mailbox where T stashed some water for us. she used the gait code to get us into her moms community but we forgot that we wouldn't be able to get out. we climbed the block wall & jumped out without injury. T had her new Garmen on so we were eager to see the results. we ran 5 1/2 miles with one water break and 2 walks. i will pay attention to the next pace she tells me afterwards so i can add it to my blog or maybe i will get a GPS watch soon myself :) (hope my husband reads this).

third swim 07.23.09

took Hannah & Grace with me to the pool at around 11 am to swim laps. they discovered that they needed new goggles right off the bat. they were so cute swimming their own little style. Hannah asked lots of questions while Grace just had fun. I swam a total of 675 meters this morning but don't recall the details except for alot of fun with the girls and a promise that we would go to Sport's Authority soon to purchase new goggles for them :)

second swim 07.21.09

around 11 am went to the Y pool with Barb to swim. we took all our kids which all decided to swim laps with us (minus our 2 teenage girls who stayed home & online). we swam a total of 650 meters but didn't keep track of most of what we did otherwise. we did the kickboard and used the floats to swim with arm strokes only. dont remember making much progress except in the distance. i swam 650 meters. 250 more meters than the first time I swam.

07.14.09 run

since i'm creating this blog in august about July i don't remember much about my run this day but i did note on my calendar that i ran a 5k in the evening with Teresa after swimming in the am. i do remember sharing with T that i was a little tired from our first swim.
