no complaints

being sidelined and not being able to train has been a little frustrating. its only been 2 weeks for me so i can't even imagine what it must feel like for those battling leukemia, lymphoma and other cancers and illnesses day after day. i really can't complain. i only had minor surgery and my doctor says i can resume training slowly.

so i went to monday's run training at greenlake ran three miles to complete my heartrate test. i may need to invest in a lap counter because not only did i forget to time my first mile but for the second mile, i accidentally an extra 1/4 mile. my time was longer than usual and i thought it was just because i was taking it easy. in any case, it was a great evening to run as the weather was extremely cooperative.

i also went to swim training on wednesday. it was nice to get into the water again and learn some new drills. they're not all fun or comfortable but i guess that's why they are drills and i'm really hoping to improve my swim form, so i gotta do what it takes.

speaking of doing what it takes, i need to start thinking about commuting to work via bike like Rachel. i did this over the summer about twice a week but its not as sunny or dry these days and it gets dark so early! i'm not sure how i feel about winter bike commuting so we'll see...
