back in the swing of things
I finally got back to working out today; a week off due to respiratory illness was one week too long, I think! Although I am still sick (plan to go back to the internist tomorrow) I felt ok enough to squeeze in both a weights/toning workout and cardio (5k run on the treadmill) refresher. It felt so exhilarating at the time, but now I feel more congested than ever. Ugh!
I found out today that my sister, the uber-jock, finished in the top 100 of some 5,000 female entrants in Philly's Broad Street Run - a 10-mile run through the city. She is an amazing runner - short as me but small-boned and nimble as a jackrabbit.
Running is not my forte even though I have learned to like it. I am thinking that once I get in plenty of practice, that my true "tri" strength will be the bike. I won an ebay auction for an indoor bike trainer and I am really anxious to get it, set it up and get peddling!
Tomorrow will be a thrill - annual gyne exam and then possibly a visit (hoping a phone call for a new prescription is all I need!) to the internist for antibitoics. A visit to the dentist later this month, and then back to the GI doc on June 1 and then that should be the end of the doc visists for me for awhile, I certainly hope!!!!
On another note entirely, I was so thrilled to look out in my yard today and while sitting on the patio, a gorgeous goldfinch flitted to my birdbath for a drink, as some other pretty bird, which I have yet to identify(about the size of a robin, but a deep blueish-grey, with a long narrow tail) hung out enjoying himself at the tray feeder.
