Impressed myself

I am most impressed with my ability to get that bike rack back on my car. whoa - that's not an easy task... these straps here, these here, tighten this first, then that... and on it goes...
I never got to the bike trail yesterday. I went with KF and family on the light rail to the Blues, Brews and BBQ street party. It was fun. Somthing different to do.
But today I did make it out. KP and I finally hit the trails. Thank goodness. I think we both needed to get out there. Can you beleive over all these months this is only the second time that we have worked out together... Once at the pool and now.
So we did the 8 miles at the park. It was a lot easier than I anticipated and a lot more fun. Perhaps because I had someone to chat with over the 8 miles.
From there - in the midst of lapse of reason - we donned bathing suits and headed over to the pool near her new home. And we swam!!! I wanted to do 500 yards - stopped at 450. She was somewhere just behind me. I haven't been in the pool in a while. I like the whole swimming thing. I may not be able to attempt it without slowing down or stopping for more air but who knows.
I am feeling more confident on it at the moment.
I may feel real sore tomorrow and all confidence will be shot to hell... but for now...
