Threepeat

I exercised for the third day in a row. To give my running muscles a break, I used the recumbent cycle tonight: weight loss program, level 6/10, standard time. I think it reported 9.5 miles in that time.

I think it's time to get back in the pool, too. That would be a good break for my legs, since I don't seem to use them that much while swimming.

One reason I don't like the recumbent bicycles is that I have to choose from five shared TV suspended over the exercise area; half the treadmills have their own individually-controllable TVs. It will be different to go back to the pool and think 23 ... 23 ... 23 ... 24 ... 24 ... 24 ... etc. down and back the pool. Frazz shows an idealized view of lap swimming. Just doesn't happen where I swim, except maybe the first seven panels (and maybe the tenth).

As I got in the car to head home after work, I heard an ad for running 5 miles of the Portland Marathon. It's October 7, about 30 days away. Although I wouldn't be fast, it could be fun. I asked my mom if she'd run with me but she'll be returning from a trip the preceding Friday. That's too bad...

Almost forgot to mention -- no caffeine today. I think that's two days in a row. Wow, a Pepsi would be really good about now...
