Back at It
I’ve hit the gym at my boyfriend’s apartment complex a few times so far this winter, and I’ve done the yoga dvd that I borrowed from my cousin a few times too, but that’s been the extent of my exercising thus far this winter.
Tonight I drove over to the DCR’s Connell Memorial Pool in Weymouth, Ma (it’s free!) and swam for about 25 minutes. I didn’t do any drills or time myself at all. I was just trying to get back into the groove of exercising. I have to say, I missed it. Swimming just feels so good on my muscles. It stretches them out from being tensed up all day, and afterwards I feel tired yet energized.
I haven’t signed up yet, but I am planning on doing the Gloucester Triathlon and the Marlborough Triathlon this summer (both are part of the same series that the my first tri was in, the Cohasset Triathlon). I’d do the Cohasset one also, but it’s already sold out. I just need to check scheduling with someone tomorrow before I actually go and register for the other two. I need to since I bought a wetsuit last fall and it won’t be worth the price I paid for it unless I do at least two triathlons!
One of the reasons I can do the triathlons is that my cousin Rob Cichocki has offered to sponsor me financially for it; otherwise I wouldn’t feel justified in spending that money right now. So thanks Rob, and let me know if you want me to wear any specific shirts on race day.
