Hey everyone! It has been a tough month in Chicago, weather wise. Not only has the snow, freezing rain and ice been bad, I fell (not just once), but TWICE on the ice and sprained my knee. (Once, fine, but TWICE???) Makes me mad, but my wonderful chiropracter office has me healing sure and steady. So, the night before I got injured, I decided... I should do a triathlon this year!!! A sprint - the Danskin Women's, this July to be exact. I think the cycling and running will be no problem, but the swimming... so I paid a $187 for a 5 week beginner triathlon swim class, that started this morning. (I am not normally a nervous person, but I almost backed out this morning!) Anyway, I went, learned that I am indeed "a sinker", and need to seriously get this swimming training underway. It was a good challenge, and I am glad that I went. I'm a little sore, but this is what I really took away - that there are many more women, who seem to be less fit than I am, who think they can do it. And that encourages me greatly - more power to them (to us all) for having the courage to dream big and move in that direction. Keep it up, girls!!!
