Draggin my feet

Apparently Amy finally caught the blogger bug and I lost it. Now she's making me look bad because of my lack of posting. Here's a quick post to catch you up on what I've been doing. My real excuse for not posting is that I still can't run because of my injury which frustrates me and it takes me a lot longer to convert steps from my cross training exploits than to just look at my pedometer and count the actual steps that I took while running. Hmm that was a long winded excuse. I apologize. I hope you're riding, swimming, running, jumping and everything else you can do to earn steps with a much better attitude than I am. It's tough when you can't do the exercise that you want to do, but keeping active helps us stay healthy so that's what I've been doing.

Rode the bike for an hour and 45 minutes. I don't know how those Tour de France riders do it!?!?

Mega cross training day. 35 minutes of aqua jogging followed by 70 minutes on the stationary bike. Aqua jogging makes for great cross training when you're not forced into it by an injury. I finally feel like my achilles is getting a bit better. I should be able to run soon!

A day at the Lake with a wake board run, a water ski run, lots of leisurely swimming and for some reason treading water for 30 minutes while talking to my neighbors at the lake who floated on rafts....seemed a lot more relaxing to them.
