My complaining about the weather did bring about a change. At 7am , while I was driving to the gym, I noticed thunder/ lightning/ and flooding. It was not the change that I was hoping for.

My ususal masters swim was cancelled due to an indoor tri at our sister gym. Coach was there helping out. He did leave "The Renegade Gang" a workout to do. After doing a 300 warmup, we rotated between 100 swim and 100 kick (6 times) followed by 6 x 50 (85%) with 60 sec. recovery. Then the cooldown. I felt good so when I got out of the pool , I changed and headed for an hour spin class.

There was a sub at spin class. She was good and challenging. After a tough workout, She ended the class with a cool down to the music of Biggest Loser.

Changing now to the subject of weight loss, I got on the scale yesterday and was thrilled. Since October 1, I have now lost 27 lbs. The best part is that the first 2 numbers of my weight are now 14- for the first time in 10 years.

Waddling to watch the Daytona 500.............

Thanks for the info on the hills. Given that it will be my first half, I think I'll head over to Columbus in October. And a mega congrats on the weight.
