Positive progress

Well, I am trying to keep to a schedule now.  Thanks Arlene for doing this, it is a good source of motivation and it helps that there are people keeping me accountable.  Chuck is real good.  He is a good motivator.  We, Chuck, Abby and myself went to Sharonwoods bike trail Saturday.  I don't recommend it as a bike trail but it is a real nice running path around the lake.   There are narrow spots and long story short, I wiped out going through a tunnel.  No major injury other that pride.

Arlene, I was thinking how you plan to put off swim workouts.  One recommendation would be to workout your upper body.  ("Throw" Elizabeth and Matthew around a little.)  I felt it in my arms today probably since my legs are in better shape from biking and running.  

Good news, I have been feeling positive progress.  I fell a little more in shape this week. (It's not saying much but positive progress none the less!)

Keep up the training!

Rachel, you are an inspiration! I'm getting it into gear. I am feeling better with the iron, so maybe I will get more consistant soon. Arlene
