My body feels pretty good, and my head seems to be screwed on reasonably straight.
The highlight of my day was my volunteer activity at the school It has gotten more comfortable, and more rewarding by the week, topped off by today's unsolicited hug. Technically that's against the rules but I have never, nor will I ever, turn away a hug from a nine year old kid, or from anyone else for that matter. Still it was unexpected and very, very, very....very, rewarding. I can't stop thinking about it!
It was also a day of progress on Roo's special project, as I think we overcame the technical problems we were having. It will be a few more days yet, but I'm sure she'll let me share it with you once it's done. Very exciting.
And did I say that my body feels good. Today I ran easy, had another good swim, and did my weights. No problem. And speaking of swimming I ordered a new piece of gear which should arrive within a couple of days. Basically it's half a wet suit, and yes, the bottom half. It is specifically intended for pool swimming and for me it's gonna be a godsend. I'm sure I told you that I wear my wetsuit almost all the time now, as swimming without one is a near futile exercise for my crippled, inflexible, old body. The half wetsuit will give me all of the flotation advantages of the full, but without the hassle of getting in and out of it, and without the sweating that goes along with it. Woohoo. I may or may not show you a picture when I get it, cause as sure as I am that it will be functional, I'm just as certain that i ain't gonna bring out my best features...
So that's it. In the next week I will ramp up to full Ironman training, with long rides and runs, and if the weather cooperates I may even get the two wheeler out on the road. Let's hope!
run 7.3 kms, swim 2000 metres, weights.
