Ready..VENT! What keeps you from getting to the pool?
Me first.
I am so bummed. Traffic was all jammed up because of an accident and oil spill on the expressway. It took me 2 hours and 10 minutes to get home. That's a 10 mile drive. I could have run faster if they let me take a straight line on the highway. I sat and peeled and ate an orange without even creeping forward. And not one of those tangelos or zipper peel kinds. Thank goodness I had snacks. I certainly didn't think to visit the ladies room before I left work. Normally even in the worst of traffic it's less than an hour. I couldn't even get off the highway because all the exits were jammed because the city was blocked up because people couldn't get on the highway.
And I thought traffic was going to be wasy because of school vacation week.
I work full time and go to school part time. That ate up all my swimming time for the evening. I went to work and left work early to get in some good pool time tonight.
Blech.
Your turn...NEXT!

I've been a runner all my life. I turned to Tri's when I hurt my hip. I just finished a Ironman 70.3 and was training for Chicago Marathon when I was diagnosed with a torn (Multiple) meniscus. So I swim now. I'm slow but trying to improve.
You cross from swimming to running; I cross from running to swimming. The athletic universe is in balance.:woot:
What keeps me from swimming? Nothing, it keeps me sane. I'm up at 5am, in the water by 5:30. On my way to work by 7am.
Great post! The universe is in balance indeed. Still trying to figure out how to achieve and maintain forward momentum on land. It's very hard to do.
I think you most likely swim faster than I run, er jog. I don't think I actually qualify to say I run. :)
I'm sorry about your injury - but how amazing that you did an Ironman - that is the ultimate achievement in my opinion. This weather has been great here in GA, wouldn't you say?!
Aren't we luck to be able to skip along to different sports!
