Hooray!!! I finally got back to the pool and did water aerobics as my strength training again! I couldn't be more thrilled to be back in the water. A pool for me is like sanctuary. I have always been so comfortable in the water. I remember when I was a little girl swimming underwater with my feet together pretending I was a mermaid...I think I would have rather been a mermaid than a person somedays :)
Anyway, there is some time discrepency between when the class ends and when daycare shuts down so I end up missing the last 10-15 minutes of class so I can get out and showered, dressed and get Connor from childcare. It's a little frustrating, but I figure 90% of a workout is better than none at all. We worked arms today and man oh man, I got a workout!!! We use dumbbells underwater against the resistance of the current and it burns! But it's such a good thing!
This afternoon, I walked 3 miles in 47 minutes. Not too bad. That is a hair over 15 minute miles. Maybe sometime, Ben and I will walk 12 miles...just to see if I can maintain the 15-minute mile pace. If I can do that, then at least my head knows I can complete the half.
PS: As a side note, I am not adding in the miles I walk on my "off-days." I don't consider it actual training, I am only walking as something to do and to enjoy the weather. I am only counting mileage on my training days.
