Today found me at the YWCA where my dad is a member and where he conveniently has a few guest passes left for the year. I've been out of running for a little while and yesterday was as good of a time as any to get back into it. I set my treadmill, hopped on, and off I went! I only went for 20 minutes, but it was definitely a good 20 minutes! There was a man on my left who was doing about 8 miles an hour and boy did I feel slow compared to him! Although there was a woman on my right who was doing about two miles an hour, so I was speed demon compared to her. (In her defense, I think she was about 80 years old. I can only hope to still be walking at that age, haha.) While I only went for 20 minutes, I felt good the whole time! My legs definitely knew what to do and my brain kicked in pretty soon after I got going. While it certainly wasn't my fastest time ever, I was happy the whole time and was still faster than in August, so I'm pleased! After running I hopped into the pool and felt nothing but happiness. I shared a lane with my dad who is all sorts of a good swimmer. At my fastest, I just keep up with him! He was great though because he gave me some much needed pointers to improve my stroke AND commented on how I was swimming strong for having taken such a long break. Talk about proud! All told, I was running or swimming for an hour and boy did my body feel good at the end of it! I'm thinking swimming is going to have to be a much bigger part of my life next semester.
On another important note, tomorrow is baking day with my mom! Something tells me my post just might have something to do with that! :)
