Laura: Still here still moving

I'm midway through my second week of hitting it hard and doing the work out just as it's written. I'm feeling GREAT! Though today I felt lazy... only did the spin class and didn't do weights after. I think it's this cold weather.. I went and sat in the steam room instead.. man did that feel good!

It's hard for me to believe or imagine that we are actually going so see some hot snow free weather here some day... I think about the race really not being that far off then I start to panic about being able to work out outside... will it be enough time! :) Of course it will b/c the snow will melt, the sun will shine and the sweat will pour. Hopefully we will have a short winter since we are just getting punished right now! It's been below zero here all week! :( But we prevail and hit the gym hard. :)

Swimming has taken on a whole new attitude for me. I am amazed. I actually kinda like it - even though I'm still slow. I feel like my stroke is improving and though my speed isn't changing too much I'm not exerting so much effort for the same slow result and that gives me hope that there is speed on the horizon. I feel so much more power from my stroke now. Now I need to work on my glide!

I'm looking forward to my trip out to Portland in a few more weeks - maybe Andy and I can do some runs together. I'll make him push the jogger! ha ha
