OK, so I've been such a slacker for the last...god, 3 years. This is only my 2nd week into running/swimming again, but hopefully it sticks. I want to get to the point where it's enjoyable, not a chore anymore. But I have to work at it. I also want to get to the point where it doesn't wear me out either. Time will tell.

Last monday (09/08) was my first day swimming. I swam a bit in August with the Grunions, but that pool is too far. I drove over to CSULB to check out a different team. Even disorganized, they seemed to have it together. I liked it. Tuesday, I did a 4 mile run before swimming. Then I hopped on my canary yellow woody beach cruiser and rode to the pool. 6 miles in 1/2 hour. I need to get more of a commuter bike for this ride, but it's not bad. Then we swam 3400 yards. I then rode home in the dark. I also need to get a light. I had all this energy eventhough I basically did a triathlon that day. Wednesday night I went to see 9 to 5 the musical. AMAZING! Thursday is when I really felt it. I was so tired from Tuesdays workouts and getting in late Wed. night, I overslept for work. I went right to bed after work. Friday, I did about a 2 mile run and drove to the pool, but got out after 45 minutes. I should rest completely on Fridays, since I overslept for the 8 mile run on Saturday morning.
