I got my sorry butt out of bed this morning at 6:15 and went to the pool to swim laps. I've been averaging 3 trips to the pool a week, 2 during Megan's school and once on the weekend. That along with the elliptical trainer and a workout video i'm into and well i'm feeling better than I have in years. But now that Megan's school is out for the summer finding time to do laps is difficult.

I saw that I could go between 6 and 9 and Jack agreed to work from home until I got back at 8. It really worked out beautifully for about 45 minutes and then the pool was inundated with a bunch of slower swimmers and I started having to swim slow to keep from running over this older gentleman. Long story short- i cut my work out down 15 minutes but it still felt good.

The only trouble is i'm not a morning person. I'm a late night person. I'm usually up till midnight on my laptop so i'm not sure I can last all summer getting up that early to swim laps. For now i'll try to go one time during the week and then later on saturday, and If I can manage a third day all the better. But by the end of summer I will be looking forward to Megan's return to school (3 mornings a week!)
