Things have been going well, I'm lucky to have been blessed with a body that responds very well to exercise. I've gone from a 1.3 mile half hour to a 1.9 mile half hour, my blood pressure has gone down, and my working heart rate has gone down. And? The best part? I've lost 5 pounds. The downside is that I plateau very quickly, so I have to keep thing mixed up. Maybe I have more of my dad's athlete genes than I had originally thought.
This weekend has been a bummer, though. I have bronchitis. Again. This has slowed me down, some. I powered through a fast walk yesterday but had to skip today. Sitting in the not-so-urgent care clinic for three hours was all I could handle. Hopefully I will be able to manage some swimming tomorrow, and get that in before the curtain climbers descend on the pool.
I'm getting a decent tax return, so I have the "new shoes" thing in the bag. I guess being poor has its benefits.
Only 306 days to go.
