Today was awesome. I've decided that the dophin swim is much easier with flippers...and more fun. I swam for 50 minutes and did 600 yards.
Emily taught me how to dive...I love it! I didn't even belly flop. I'm a rockstar!! I even got my Level 1 card...woo-hoo!!
Now I just have to figure out the training for the tri so that I can incorporate the distances and training for biking and swimming in with my running routine.

48 Flights with Girls on the Run...Every time we ran up the stairs at school it was a different emotion. Took about 20 minutes, due to having to walk back down the stairs and give the girls a little rest in between.

Ravenswood 5k--
I KICKED IT'S ASS!! PR!!! WOO-HOO! I rocked it today! I didn't even feel like I went balls out...so awesome! I felt really good while running! I had a total time of 31:15 for a 10:04 minute mile.
I saw some neighbors working the first aid tent...that was cool. I also had breakfast with Molly and her mom (@ Paulina's again!). It was a great day!!

I went with Tina and Pete to the Arlington Heights bike swap and I got a new bike today! It's a Trek road bike...Granted I don't know much about bikes, but it's light and has a lot of carbon fiber. Pete checked it out and said I'd be happy riding it. I worked on cleaning it...and then took it for a quick 2 mile spin. (Jack actually ended up doing the better cleaning job, but at least I tried!!)
It's so pretty. I think I need to name it...maybe I'll name it after Pete...I think the name is TBA for now. I need to get a feel for it so the name fits it.

50:00 minutes at the pool and 800 yards. Emily tried to teach me the dolphin swim. Yeah, I couldn't decided if I looked like I was having a seizure in the water or like the worm in the bottle of the tequila bottle. (I think I'd be liking the swim more, if the pool was tequila.)
Anyway, this guy was asking me about my stroke, and why I breathe like I do. Apparently, I'm not breathing correctly and that's why swimming is so hard for me. I must pursure this whole breathing thing a little more. Especially since I have not yet figured out how to grow gills.

I biked to the gym today, 6 miles total (3 miles there, then after the work out 3 miles back). It only took about 20 minutes each way. I wasn't really pushing myself, and I enjoyed the ride! Thank goodness for being able to borrow a bike. I think after the marathon, I need to ride to the gym more often!
I'm running out of training runs.... I did one mile in 11:30 before Hector gave me an easy day...streatching and legs and core. I feel fat today. :(
