All I can say is WOW!!!
Okay, let me first start reporting a small drop in weight. I'm on my 5th week of returning to the gym, and after gaining the expected handful of pounds (that I gain every time I start working out) the scale finally registered a drop.
Yesterday, I did something that I did not think I was ready for yet. I ran, biked, and swam all in one workout. And, it wasn't that bad. I think I already mentioned that my friend wants me to train for a sprint tri for 2017. I wanted to experience what it felt like to do all three in one day.
After church and volunteering I headed to the gym. Changed. And ran the 2-point-something miles around the Buckhead Triangle. Got done and got on the stationary bike. Got a lot of water in while on the bike. Did 5 miles then got in the pool for 10 laps (front stroke). I did a lap of breast stroke and back stroke after the first five laps to catch my breath then continued.
I can now swim down, take a quick breather and swim back easier. However, I tend to feel panicked about breathing the whole way back. Each time I swim I improve a little more.
Oh and I'm super happy that I found a salt water pool!
