Hello again, cyber world. As I was swimming laps this morning my mind started to wander, and I began to think that this blog might be the right space to share my exercise journey in order to keep my self accountable.
I had another realization--one of the things that has been holding me back and stressing me out has been wondering if I am pregnant. I know, it sounds weird, but we've been trying to conceive since September, and so far it's a no go. This would be my fourth child, so I'm really okay if our family ends up consisting of the three amazing and rambunctious children we already have. The anxiety comes from not knowing. From not being able to plan out my next race because of the possibility I might be pregnant.
Anyway, while swimming I decided to less this anxiety go. If I end up forfeiting a race fee, oh well. It's a small price for peace of mind. I'll be thrilled if another child is in the cards for our family, but I'm going to keep setting fitness goals in the mean-time.
So here they are: swimming--swim 25 laps in 30 min. Today I swam 24 laps in 30 minutes, but I used my zoomers for 16 laps, so I'm not as close to my goal as it seems.
running--run a 10k in April in less than an hour
biking--stretch my IT band so it doesn't kill my hip every time I ride.
yoga--do a sun salutation every day and an hour long session weekly.
strength--15 real push-ups (don't mock my wimpiness)
What are YOUR goals?
