Monsoon Cont.

Well, A) Pete's back end has been having a rainy season of it's own... he won't go outside when it's raining (just because he doesn't want to be wet) and he's had diarrhea for the past 24 hours. Thus, much mopping of the tile by the front door ensues.

And B) I thought today's workout wasn't anything special until the very last lap, last exercise of the day, 6 tenths of a mile. The weather's water broke at around 4 tenths left. At least I wasn't sweaty when I got home and none of my clothes stink. The inside of my car's a little damp though.

Speaking of which, I noticed that when I started I ran about a minute per tenth of a mile, so the laps were 6 minutes and our "mile" run (two laps) were twelve. But today I did one lap in just over 5 minutes (5:03 or something) and the last couple of times I had to do two laps it was just above ten minutes. :) So that's good. That means my mile is maybe around 8.5 or 9 minutes. Not good by regular standards but at least I am improving.

There weren't very many people there today. Maybe 10. And it was mostly the really good ones, an out of shape husband who gets dragged there, and a tenacious but overweight black lady. So, if I wasn't the last one on the running exercises, I was second to last. Oh well.

I do pretty well on anything not having to do with running... lunges, ab work, my pushups could be better but I do my best. I think I may be better at understanding what I'm supposed to do than the normal schmuck, like this hand here, that leg jumps left while I jump right or... whatever.

Still. Man my aerobicness with running exercises needs a big improvement. Glad I'm working on it :) And we did some length strengthening today which is also what I should be doing. One legged squats on stairs and such.

Work!

Pete and I may have to dust off our kayak and oars to get there today.
