I finally made to a Saturday morning swim practice. It took 3 months but I woke up at 4am, packed some clothes, washied some clothes (to pack some more clothes), got dressed (not dressed dressed but swim suit sweat pants dressed) and went to practice. It still takes about 20/30 minutes to warm up but at least I was only behind (lapped) by my teammates by 200 yards. Not bad..it used to be by a 800 yards LMAO...I just kept talking to the coaches LOL. Yes I know I am out of control. My shoulder is killing me. I gotta start physical therapy soon but I am pushing through it and getting a little better. Breathing is getting better, strokes are getting better, slow and steady.
Well it has been a crazy week and I am waiting in the airport for my delayed flight (as always). I think I am going to get something to eat.
Peace Love and Hair Grease！

My Goggles!!
Ok so for some reason I lost all my swimming goggles. Don't know how I did that...I actually had to borrow one of my team mate’s goggles a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, Monday (last Monday) I went to Modell's on my way to practice and bought the 5.99 goggles. Cause I was tired of losing $19 supercool goggles LOL. Anyway, yesterday I went down in the basement to wash clothes and guess what I found on the floor...MY GOGGLES LOL! OOC

It's March?!
On Tuesday I went to the Orthopedic Doctor (Dr. Goldberger) for my shoulder. Dr. Goldberger is an triathlete himself (IRON MAN) and he really knows what he is taking about. He talk to me about the Columbia Course, the most technical run he ever experienced. My stomach flipped of course. In the end, I have an anti-inflammatory, physical therapy and exercises I have to give my coach for swim practice.
It has been a looooooooooooong week and I am exhausted. Our recommittment papers came in this week and I have to turn them in tomorrow at the 7 am swim practice (I have yet to go to). Once they are submitted, there is no turning back. I just wish all could do is just focus on training and fundraising. Now I have to raise another $700 to cover the tri-suit. Between travel with work and some other issue going on it is draining me mentally and physically but I am keeping my eye on the goal and purpose.
I can't believe how fast time flies..it is now March. And it is going to be a hectic 3 months. At least I am starting to enjoy the practices. LOL

This Weekend
It was a good and interesting weekend.
Friday - I went out with a fellow Aggie Alumni to a poetry jam and a little bit of food. She told me I am not in my Zone yet and I need to get in my Zone. That is how I am going to finish my race. I am committed but no in Zone. So it gave me something to think about. Still thinking....
Saturday - my girl was coming into town to see Jay-Z. So even though I didn't get home until 1 am and I was anemic (inside joke for women). I woke up at 7 am to do my brick training and hopefully find my Zone. I did the training. After running errands and my girlfriend got to my house, we went to the store to use my coupon for running shoes. I never felt sneakers like that before. They feel like you are on cloud nine. Well at least I had a 20% coupon because I never spent that much money on sneakers before, either! Well, JayZ is still the man and Slate is a cool hang out spot in the city.
Sunday - We had good intentions to go to Central Park and test out my sneakers. I didn’t get out of bed until 9 am (5 hours of sleep) so it was too late. My girlfriend is an early bird & exercise freak - so of course she was ready. Instead we met up with another friend in Montclair, had breakfast, did a little shopping and then decided to find a trail at South Mountain Reservation to try out my “cloud nine” sneakers. After an hour of driving around trying to find a spot that wasn't covered in snow we went back to our friend’s apartment and went walking/running around Montclair for 1 hour and 25 mins. Painful but we got it done. My body is still recovering. LOL
So all and all this was a good weekend, had fun and still worked out. So I think I am headed in the right direction.

Keep It Moving
Yesterday I didn't make it to swim practice but I recovered today. I did my 1 hour and 15 minute bike ride. Now I am just tired. Well tomorrow will be the 1 hour 25 minute run and Thursday Mahwah!!!!
I just made it past the 50% mark for my fundraising so that is a good sign.
I don't have much today but I wanted to keep up since I had a little time.
Talk to you soon.
