Feeling MUCH Better!

Last night after my piano recital, I took off on an evening run.  The night was perfect!  Travis outfitted me as this was my first run in the dark by myself.  See?

Travis says I look like a coal miner.  I had a flashing red light attached to the back of my vest, too. :)

Anyhow......my run was really fun!  I ran really fast the first mile which made my heart soar!  I love running fast!  My feet skip off the pavement, my knees stride out, and I feel like I'm flying!  Unfortunately, I couldn't keep that pace, so I had to slow it down.  I took it easy the next couple miles and just put in a good 30-minute run.

 This morning I was up at 4:30, ate my cereal, then headed to the pool.  Masters Class swimmers were there again so there were quite a few people in the pool.....about 20-25.  I joined another guy wearing fins and was excited when I started lapping him!  However, the lane next to me were the advanced swimmers in the Masters Class and there were five men in there just speeding through their workout!  They brought a wall of water with them every time we passed.  When I joked about it with them, they said it was to help me train for my open water swim.  One guy said he did the Boise Half two years ago.  When I asked him why not last year, he sniffed and said, "I don't do snow!"  Ha Ha!  I don't, either......yet.......
