Last Week's workouts & a great weekend!

Workouts were: Mon - Swim 500 yds / Track 3x800's Hard...
Wed - Run 3 miles
Thur - Swim 500 yds / weights circuit at home
Sun - Run 8 miles

Considering, I've been in a slump lately, I'm pleased with the week. I'm back, and enjoying it...again. I ran Wed and today, which brought my total running days back up to 3, which is what I want to stay at - even with my Marathon plan, that my friend Robin was so gracious to share with me.

I'm still swimming twice a week as I need for an August triathlon. I'm VERY slow right now, and just hope that I can improve over the next few months.

Yesterday, before Church I ventured out for a "long" run of 8 miles. I put it in quotes because, right now this is my long run. I will keep building off of it until training starts but probably won't exceed beyond 10 or 11, before Jun. I was s-l-o-w, but felt good to be back out there, and it sucked to have to pass my house to add mileage. I HATE that....

Weight loss: I had got down to a certain # (I won't embarrass myself mentioning) on the scale, but crept up about 8 lbs. So, in the last 13 days, I've dropped 4.8 lbs and am very happy about that. Baby steps, right? I will post my goals for May tomorrow.

Now, to the interesting fun stuff. David, Grace and I went to David's 2nd triathlon, Langley Pond, SC, and he did very well, considering a lot of unforeseen circumstances, like a Train stop on the bike ride??? crazy, I know.... You can check out the race report at David's blog.
David always beats himself up over the end results, but considering it was his 2nd tri, I think he's doing great. I am biased too.. :-)
