Life is Good

Melanie and I hit the neighbor's pool after work today.  I pushed her across the pool (swimming) over and over...  She loved it, but then decided that she could swim on her own.  I took her out of her floaty and let her stand on the steps.  she drank more water than she wanted... but I think it was a good experience for her.  And it was a really good workout for me.  At least I feel like it was. :o)

2 miles... Walking.  Since walking is by foot... and so is running, I'm logging my miles under the "running" category.  :o).  Actually, almost half of it was skipping.  That's right.  I was skipping home.  It was fun.  It felt good.  I think everyone should try it.

Okay... so my plan was to swim Monday, Wednesday, Friday this week... and would you have it that I got stung my a bee (between my toes of all places) in my bathroom while getting my swimming suite.  I'm (of course) allergic to bees (joy of joys), and had to take benedryl to slow down the reaction.  I took it, sat on the couch, and next thing I know it's Thursday morning.  Oh Joy!  So... that's my excuse for Wednesday.  Thursday Melanie and I were both cranky and had a hard time.  Then we built a fort in the living room, and played for a few hours (in much better moods).  By time I put her to bed, it was also time to put me to bed.

So...  I was determined to get my swimming in today.  It was 101 degrees out...  the pool was hot (like bath water).  Good Grief!  But we had fun!
