Swimming is kicking my butt. The first week's class was good. This past week, I thought I'd have to drown myself. I think it was a combination of really good but tough spin on Monday and my congestion but I just couldn't get my body to function the way I wanted it to. My legs felt like lead and I could not get into a breathing rhythm! I was really struggling. I almost skipped the class because I was feeling so sluggish but told myself if I was already skipping the 2nd week, I'd never make it to July. Glad I kicked my own ass and went.
I'm realizing that exercising is half mental, half physical.

Spin, Swim, Spin
My first spin class was last night and my butt is overly sore today. Tomorrow, swim training.
Thank goodness I have someone egging me on in training because otherwise, it'll be 2010 and I'll still be wishful thinking in tackling a triathlon. I wasn't going to sign up for swim because I have not swam in years. And I don't think "Mommy & me swim" qualify. My plan was to start slow and work my way up but again that would get me nowhere.
The only hovering thought is..."warm up is 8 laps". I don't know if I can do 8 total!
