Gwen has her Groove Back

I have been running.  I think I can safely say - I'm back.  It feels so good.  This morning, the dog and I ran over 6 with the sun coming up in the east (yes, I know - it always comes up in the East - shut up Robert).  Glorious!  I LOVE that feeling.  I am not breaking any speed records, but I am happy with my pace.  My legs were not even sore!  I think the dog even enjoyed it. 

Biking has been going well.  Again - not breaking any speed records, but it feels good.  Legs get a bit tired, but I feel I am making progress.  I just need to start introducing more hills.  I think I will try that this afternoon while the kids are at choir. 

Swimming has been going GREAT!  I did a 2500 straight last week and was able to hold a 1:26/100 yard pace.  That is about my goal pace.  I am starting to incorporate longer sets into my workouts.  Pretty soon I have to consider open water :( 

Life is about to get really crazy.  The boy is on 2 baseball teams - one of which Robert is coaching.  I have to consider something for the girl -  I think she wants to try softball.  Not sure how that is going to work with the baseball schedules and my workout schedule.  We'll see. 

May 1st is my 1st triathlon of the year and then there is an Aquathon race May 19th.  Let it begin....

Nice swim progress! And isn't a good run one of the best feelings ever?!?

You've got a lot of time, and miles, to cover yet. Not to mention active children, a needy husband (just kidding!), work, and life in general.

Keep on keeping on!

I didn't realize your first race was coming up so quickly. Let's hope for no major incidents while roller skating on Saturday!!
