A beautiful day here in DC - after very little sleep last night (darn those olympics!) biked to the swimming pool, did some pool jogging before meeting my new swimming coach! Our first class went pretty well, I think, and I committed to 6 more lessons throughout this next few weeks. It's not going to be easy, but I think I can manage to learn freestyle... or so I hope...
Smelling like chlorine and with green hair, I met fastboy Aaron after his 15-mile long run for some crepes at Eastern Market, a walk around the neighborhood and some good conversation. We are kindred spirits in a sense: mountain people trying to escape the dreaded city life of DC, though he has a much clearer escape plan than I do.
Did some yoga at home when I got back, then watched some Olympics while making some cherry garcia ice cream with fresh Eastern Market cherries... YUMMM!
The plan for this week: keep up with the cross-training. I don't think I'll be joining a gym after all, since I'll be doing my cardio workout swimming (and spending lots of $$ on swimming lessons...). The plan is also to get more sleep - starting... nnnnnnnnow! |
