First Swim Down ... and feelin good.

Well, we're 2 weeks into training, and I'm feeling pretty good --

i ran last Tuesday in the FREEZING cold, with a few flurries. There's nothing quite like running in central park, and looking up at a big building displaying the time, and temperature at 22 degrees. You have to think - what am i doing out here???

But, at my first practice, i already reached a nice milestone -- i ran my first training run without stopping! i found a nice girl to run with who happened to LOVE romance novels -- we had a lot to chat about, as i've become quite the expert on the subject :-)

Last night was the first swim. I attended the advanced swim because it's closer to my apartment -- i'll be as advanced as i need to be for the location... 6 blocks from home! Swim was good -- although i've definitely got to work hard to get a) my form back in shape and b) my speed up!!

Lots to work on - but in general, i'm starting to feel great again. Looks like the weather is getting better now -- HELLO SPRING! so that's promising.

Stay tuned!!!
