Rode the stationary bike today at the gym on level 8 for 40 minutes.  I completed 14.5 miles.  It was an easy ride.  My goal was to get a little exercise in while I read.  I was able to finish two chapters of School Law. 

I then took the kids swimming and spent a little time in the lap pool.  I was able to swim 10 lengths (5 laps).  Swimming is tough, I don't know how people do it.  I need to learn how to pace myself, and how to breathe properly.  

Based on my exertion level I am only going to count 3 miles for my efforts.

Nice work, x-training is amazing :) I just hate being forced to do it!

Oh, and amen on the swimming - I'm a land breather not a water breather.

Hi Shelly. It was great to see you back with the BBK's on Saturday. I had to do a double take at your picture. That's my daughter in front of you. Too funny.

When I started swimming to train for our Triathlons I hated the swimming. I could only go one lap and then I had to lay on the side for 1 minute and catch my breath.
