First off, I have to say that I am pretty proud of myself for dragging myself out to the Y this morning - it was about the last thing I felt like doing after having a rather sleepless night. I'm now up to 0.86 of a mile and by the end of next week I will be over the mile mark :) In my earlier posts I think I left out some interesting facts. I was infact terrified of the treadmill to begin with. I held on for dear life going about 2 miles an hour! Every time I got off I felt like I had just been on a roller coaster. I take my mp3 player (thanks to my brother and sister-in-law) and listen to the new Black Eyed Peas album. I don't think anyone else there has as much fun as I do rockin out on the treadmill :) The only problem was that I would get so into it that I would snag the earphone cord with my hand and send the player halfway across the gym! I found that rather embarassing and quite annoying. Once, I didn't wait for the belt to completely stop before turning around and trying to walk off of it... I think I hurt my pride a little more than my butt when I fell off lol! I actually looked around and said out loud "Did anyone see that??" and then laughed my head off for the rest of the workout. It didn't take too long for me to figure out how to safely dismount the treadmill and keep my mp3 player from launching across the room. I've also overcome the need to hold on for dear life and enjoy just walking or running hands free. Tomorrow I think I'm going to go work on my swimming technique - I saw some of my classmates practicing today, so I suppose I should get out there and do some too.
Not that it means a whole lot, but I'm ranked #3 in my age group for the number of fitpoints earned so far this month. The scary thing is, I was ranked #1 last month!!
