| | Day #15. Swam 30 laps (1,500 yards) this morning (20 laps or 1,000 yards in a row) - a new record! Worked on flip turns but I suck - its more like a side turn. Then Jordanne and I did one hour of Centergy. Book club fun, then went back to the gym just for 20 minutes with Justin and did leg weights (we had good intentions but went to Costco on the way and ended up getting there just 20 minutes before it closed). LOVE 3 DAY WEEKENDS! |

| | Day #16 :-) First run outside in the FF - did 3 miles with .1 walk breaks between each mile (3.58 miles total). Hope I didn't overdo it FF-wise or ITB-wise. ITB felt pretty good, but I could sense it couldn't go much further. Think I will try to do 3 the next few runs before upping it again. Then went to the gym with J, 30 minutes on the elliptical and arm weights. I'm tired! Back to homework now... |

| | Day #18 in a row! 26 swimming laps (1,300 yards), 14 (I think; 700 yards) in a row, before Justin got there and swam too! That was fun. Sat in the lovely hot tub afterwards, then ran 29 laps on the indoor track (hahaha, that sounds like a lot, but since its 12.65 laps to a mile, it was only 2 miles running with some walk breaks). It was really hard to keep track of the running laps, it may have been a few more laps than that. |

Day #19 - almost there! Got to the gym at exactly 5:20 so decided to sample the Group Kick class that was just starting. Again, I just jumped around the whole time so I got a really good workout especially on my calves. At the end we had to do all of these hip adductor strength stuff which killed and I'm sure was perfect for my ITB. Then I came home and made coconut chicken which was the BOMB, I'm very proud of myself! |

Day #20 - I made it! 3.8 miles running outside! I am feeling very very very VERY encouraged. :-) I wanted that 4 so bad but I'd already told myself I wasn't going to do more than 3 so I forced myself to stop. Justin had his wisdom teeth out this morning so I ran in the neighborhoods around the clinic while he was getting the surgery - cute little loop around a lake and golf course. So wonderful to run outside in the light (just a little rain!) on a weekday!
Hopefully I'll go to the gym later, need to catch up on work for now.
