Day 136

Great!    I know it sounds wierd, but I have not lost any weight for the last month.  I lost five pounds in the beginning.  I have lost 4 pounds this week.  Either I am trading fat weight for muscle weight or an efficient carboholic. "C" is for Cookies and thats good enough for me!!!

 Last nights swim was tough.    I really wanted to get out of the water after about 30mins.  The pool has a clock in every corner.   This was my second week of swimming twice in one week.  I thought for sure someone was pulling a prank on me and slowing the clocks down.   I knew I needed to complete the hour.   I feel that I need these distance swims in my base training to develope some muscle memory.  A lot of the 24 week plans have different swim work outs and that will start in January. 

I looked up that trainer's web site.  I will have to look a my budget, and see what I can afford for advice.  It is amazing how many gadgets are out there for triathlons, and I have yet to buy touring bike.   My goal is to finish an IM triathlon without going broke.

I have to work this weekend and I am on call for our group.  The kids have sports try-outs and one has a game.   I bought a bright head lamp for jogging at night so I can still squeeze in a workout in the dark.  My ITB's(Ileotibial bands or Lateral thighs) are a little sore from the spinning class, so today I will go on an easy run after work.   A good stretch afterwards.   Probably 4 miles, but if I feel good half way through I will go to 6 but no more. 

Cheers!
