...and I'm back.

I took a break for a while. It's hard to run when you're overweight, and it's hard on the knees. I did buy a good pair of running shoes before I started up running again recently. During the break I tried to stay focused on swimming. I've managed to keep at it, mostly consistently, and can churn through 1500 yards in an hour now. I don't force myself to do that non-stop, and I am working on technique and speed. The improvement in my speed through the water is starting to show. Last night I felt like running again. Finally I got out the door about a half hour after midnight. I walked and ran around the neighborhood, a distance that turned out to be 1.9 miles. Of that, I ran 0.9. I can feel the improvement swimming has produced. It's not huge, but I notice it. 8 miles down. 992 to go. 5 pounds down too! Yes! At least 60 to go still.
