Whew....glad that is over!! So last Saturday I attended an open house for a local yoga studio and won a punch card in a drawing for 10 yoga classes!! I had never taken an organized yoga class and I really enjoyed it so I went back today for my second class. I think the yoga will help with my shoulder & knee flexibility. They aren't too troublesome but just slight limit of mobility.

Oh, I almost forgot...I am officially registered for my second triathlon!!  The Tri Turtle Tri here in Seabeck, Washington AND my sister and three cousins will be joining my friend Sharon & I!!! We are going to have a ball!! I can't wait!!

Well, that should do it for now. Going to a TriBabes bike workshop on Saturday and baseball OF COURSE! Had a WW weigh-in today and didn't do as good as I felt like I would...I still lost .6 but I just knew it was going to be about 2. I guess with the weight training I'm swappin' fat for muscle.  I will measure again on Monday.

..............I AM A TRIATHLETE!!

I am beginning to really feel like I am a triathlete! So Tuesday I had a Fitness Assessment at the Y and all and all it turned out pretty good.  Their body fat findings were quite a bit different than the one I get with my little hand thingy but at least mine can give me an idea of change. My cardio was good and for the most part my flexibility was good with the exception of my shoulders. Strength was pretty good too! Just need to keep whittling away at the body fat and work on my shoulders.

So, other than the assessment, I did not exercise on Tuesday. Wed. met my friend and fellow triathlete, Lesley Doyle, at the Y to swim laps, Thur. walked 3 mi. w/a friend in the a.m. and then met Sharon to walk/run 3 mi. (my were toast 1/2 way through our work-out!), Fri. DOR, and today, Sat., 9.24 mi. bike w/Sharon. Planning on swimming tomorrow (Sun.) w/ Sharon & Lesley.

All in all training is going well. I am very anxious for our first Brick & Lake Swim!!

Did not lose any this past week but plan on a nice loss this week!!
