| Bike ride. Warm and wet. Very slow, but the body felt OK. | |

| Track workout - well, a mini one anyway. Warm up on the track, including .5 miles in barefeet. I did some intervals at 5K pace, which felt much harder than 5K pace, but didn't cause any excessive coughing or difficult breathing or pain in the lungs. So, all is good, just some fitness is missing here! Ready to get it back. |

| Ran this morning, and rode the new bike this afternoon! That was fun; the new bike goes faster just by being its fast self; I don't really do anything different, and it goes about 2 miles an hour faster than my other bike (that's a lot on a bike)! And, that was me still all weak and puny from being sick, so wow, just wait until I am my old self again and strong and really TRYING to ride fast!!!! It is, however, a whole lot different than my regular road bike, and I think it is best for me to get used to it in small bits. It feels so different in terms of body position, and it is also a bit friskier to control. Baby steps. We have actual full on sunshine here today, and 70 degrees. I have been pinching myself all day; still think I might just be dreaming.

| A second sunny day in a row! Started the morning with a ride over to the start of the Girls on the Run 5K Fun Run. I am not coaching this Spring, so I was a running buddy for one of the girls I coached last Spring. So much fun to run with her and see how much stronger she has become. Last year, she walked at least half of the 5K; this year she ran the entire thing, and surprised herself by passing some girls she thought were way ahead of her. After that, I did my own little run, and bicycled home. Busy day, trying to get a lot of gardening done and dealing with the mess the house painters have left around the yard. They haven't started painting yet, they are just cleaning the cedar shake sides of the house. I can't remember what that is called, and I keep calling it "waterboarding". I know that is not right, but the only other word I can think of is sandblasting, and that is not quite right either. Waterboarding does describe what they are doing.
