Last night we had a gorgeous sunset here in DC - some clouds, a bit windy, so beautiful I had to stop in the middle of my bike ride home to remind some fellow DCers to make sure they didn't miss the sky at that moment.
Today is just as beautiful. I rode my bike to the office, then to the Georgetown swimming pool (it's a small outdoor pool but everyone there was sunbathing, not many people were swimming, so me and my coach didn't have trouble finding room to swim. I am getting SO much better! I did 10 laps, then he began to teach me the flip turn (HARD!!!!) and he tested how long I could keep my breath under water - I was able to hold it for 1 full minute. David Blaine here I come! :)
I'm eagerly awaiting for Jill to post her Annapolis ten miler results - It is very hot for a race, and humid, plus I hear the course is super hilly! But we all know she's one tough cookie!
I hope everyone in Utah that run several half marathons and full ones is getting some well-deserved rest and food!
43 days till I can run again! That's 43 days to improve my lung capacity, my freestyle stroke, and everything in between! My goals for this week are to continue to exercise at least two hours a day, either swimming, aqua jogging or biking. |

Getting up this morning was TOUGH!!! But I did it... One hour in the pool, 30 mins swimming 30 mins aqua jogging. My silicone cap is working out well (my hair thanks you, Marion!).
I won't be able to work out any more this afternoon as I'll be going to Wolf Trap again for an 80's one-hit-wonder bands concert - Who remembers The Human League's "Don't you want me baby", or Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven is a place out there" and many others - should be a blast! Oh, and I forgot to mention, Flock of the Seagulls will be playing "I ran (so far away)" - YUPPPEEEEE! |

This is a special report from fast-80's-dancing-blog.com!
My friends and I went to the Regeneration Tour at Wolf Trap last night - Five 80's bands under one roof for one night! It was a fabulous time. The highlight of the night was Flock of the Seagull's "And I ran (so far away)" Everyone stood up and was jumping and dancing around. Yes, that was probably great for my stress fracture... I couldn't help but to think to myself: "You don't run far away! My fellow bloggers and *I* run far away!" Hahahaha!
Other hits: Naked Eye's "Promises, promises" and "Always something there to remind me", The Human League "Don't you want me baby", and Belinda Carlisle "Heaven is a place on earth". Some people were properly equipped with 80's hair, clothes, and makeup.
Fun times! I got home late so I didn't wake up to go to the pool this morning.
Then after work I was pulled into a happy hour... and stayed there having fun with co-workers for too long... no pool but I did bike back home. My only exercise of the day was bike to work and back. LAME! |

More morning laziness...
Biked to work and to the swimming pool - swam for 45 minutes and jogged for 30 minutes. Took a 2-mile walk with a friend around the Congressional Cemetery.
The swimming session was good, I'm getting a lot better, but still can't master the flip turn. The jogging is getting better too, I can do it without the aqua belt for a lot longer now! |

Lazy lazy lazy... Got up at 6 when my alarm went off, fed my cat, put on my swimming suit... and realized I was just too tired. So I went back to bed.
Metroed to work too, NOT because it's raining but because I have plans after work so I won't be able to bike back home. I can't remember the last day that I didn't do ANY exercise at all, no biking, no swimming, no running, not even walking. But this weekend I should be able to swim in the ocean, and cheer for my friends doing the VA Beach half marathon! |

| My friend Chris and his mom picked me up around 11 am to head down to VA Beach. The drive was long but not too bad. We picked up the race packets and checked out the expo, then they dropped me off by the hotel where I was staying with Rebecca and took off to their hotel. I went down to the beach and did some swimming and aqua jogging - it's easy in the salt water cause you float naturally! Had some dinner and went to sleep. |
