August 13, 2013
I did it, I ran 5K for Clay last Saturday. I will post a picture as soon as I can figure out how to do it. I sadly will have to drop out of the intro to human physiology. I do not have the background to understand it. I need to take a college level biology course to really understand what is being taught. I still want to take a course and I am thinking about a humanities course. Wish me luck.

Week 2 training and school
Left the house at 6:34 am and went for a jog of 22 minutes. I also need to fit in a 22 minute swim today, walk Ivy and manage a 30 minute yoga session.
Need to get new running shoes. I also start my class today on the Introduction on Human Physiology and Anatomy. While I was running I listened to the coverage of the 2007 Alcatraz tri. I am glad I did because a 60 year old woman finished the race. Inspiring.

Swimming
Well, I definitely need to work on my swimming. I swam for the twenty minutes but with rests. I began with two freestyle laps proceeded with two laps of breast stroke then I rested for 45 seconds. At that point I realized that I needed more time in the pool. I finished by swimming a lap of freestyle followed by a lap of breast stroke, rested for 30 seconds. I continued that way for the remaining time.
I hope to start swimming every other day to get stronger. peace

Summer revelation
Hi all,
Being the 1st of August, I begin a new journey. I realized this summer that I have spent most of my life trying to be someone I am not. I have constantly sought to be an intellectual when in reality I am nothing near being one. I will be posting everyday in my pursuit of being who I really am, and that is a woman who loves sports, loves trying to be fit and learn about nutrition. I have set a goal of trying to complete a sprint triathlon. In this pursuit I will also try to make friends in this area. I started on Monday of this week. Today I am to swim at least for twenty minutes without stopping. I will write later how this goes.
Next week I start a plan that will finish in November, however, I don't think there will be any races at that time. I may have to compete in a race before my training. The races are expensive and I do not have all the equipment necessary. I have checked out books from the library for my research in how to proceed. I love the you tube motivational segments and have added a podcast of age groupers, still learning what that means. They should help me move forward. I have gotten a daily appointment book so that I can schedule all of my workouts as well as my studying time. I have enrolled in a course on Human physiology and anatomy. This is what I should focus on. I am 50 years old it is about time I grow up in my pursuits of knowledge and expertise in an area that I enjoy spending my time doing. I will have to take in consideration my condition but I can't let that stop me.
