The small things

An update on the swimming. I took the plunge again yesterday this time I was fully prepared. New one piece, matching swim cap, and goggles. At least the second time I looked the part, still working on the acutally learning how to swim part though, stay tuned.... I am taking a brief moment from working to write on my glorious blog:) Today we are having a little St. Paddy's Day party. I know it makes no sense, the holiday is not until next Wednesday. But of course I had to deck myself out with green, green shirt, headband, necklace and to top it off a green tutu. Let's just say I am the best dressed in the office. This weekend there is a parade and I am partaking in the Running of the Green, a 7k running race (I will be running in my tutu). It's the small things in like that make me happy. Like yesterday at work I was walking to the bathroom and had an urge to do a heel click, yep I did one and it made me smile:) Then today at work with my tutu on I ran down the hall, testing it out before the 7k run, it made me smile. Yes it's the small things..... Do something today that makes you SMILE:)

Swimming

Oh boy I haven't been writing.... It's amazing how others things take priority. I have signed up for a Half Iron Man. I am not sure what I was thinking when I made the decision. I have began to train, starting with a sad 2 miles of running, a little spinning and learning how to swim. I headed to the pool yesterday and must have felt a overwhelming sense of confidence.... I tried out the Masters Swim Class. I should have seen the word MASTERS and cowered in a corner but no! I put on my bikini, threw my hair in a bun, asked the front desk for some goggles and headed to the pool. Needless to say I did not fit in.... haha everyone was wearing there super tight one piece suits, swim caps and special goggles. I hopped right in the pool like a regular and began swimming the crawl. OOOPHHH it was a little harder I than I remembered... last time I swam laps like that was when I was 7 on swim team. I didn't last the whole time but have plans to do this class twice a week. So tomorrow I think I need to do a little shopping, one piece, swim cap and fancy goggles! I should probably attach a picture when I have one... I am laughing as I write thinking about this look, I better get one good looking suit and swim cap!!!
