2012 Goals

Goals are good. Not so good when you don't meet them, but good to have them anyway. I fell way behind on my fitness goals over the break. It was very difficult to get out and do things because the facilities that I normally use on campus were closed the whole time. I could have run outside, but it was hard to find the time with Tray gone so much working or hunting. Hunting season for Tray means less running for Sam. But, it also means more relatively free meat in our freezer. And a much happier husband. So, I'm okay with it. I just have to get back into shape! I finally met up with the guy who runs the swim team here in Troy to ask if I could swim with them some. He was totally fine with it, but then I got in the pool afterwards and could barely swim two laps. Also, they meet Monday, Thursday, and Friday from 530 to 730 which is pretty late for me with a child at home. And I can barely swim two laps so how am I going to swim for two hours? But I thought I might swim with them on Mondays and Fridays (once deer season goes out, of course) and use the next couple weeks to build back up some. Then maybe run in the campus gym on the treadmill on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I still really want to do the Bainbridge half marathon in April, but I have a long way to go to get there. *Sigh* It's raining right now, but I am hereby publicly declaring that I am walking next door to the Natatorium and going swimming. And today I am going to swim three laps. And then a whole bunch of one laps. :)
