Back in the swing

Yay, I joined a gym today! I decided it was necessary since I am going to be in the hospital during the coolest daylight hours (morning). I kept meaning to go running this week but I am either too hungry right after work or it is too hot or it's dark. So I ran 40 minutes on the dreadmill today, and although slightly boring, it felt good. The cardio equipment at my gym overlooks a 50-m pool! So tomorrow I may go swimming. That's awesome because in Indy, there were 2 separate facilities for the pool and the gym, and that meant 2 membership fees. Now I have it all in one. And they have nice private showers so I can go early in the a.m. when it's dark and then shower before work. I think I have gained a few pounds since Ironman so this was a key move for me! Now I don't have any excuses though.... :)
