July 6th Daily Stats

1.25    Mle swim

 4.4  Mile Run   



Total Running so far since Feb 14th  381.62

Swimming with Headphones!!!!! We now live in the Future

I tried out my new SwiMp3 today and listened to podcasts under the water while swimming.
And I was able to push myself from 1 mile to 1.25  just because I wanted to listen to the rest of what I was listening to.   It worked really well once I got used to the mix of swimming noise and podcast...
I think it will work even better tomorrow when I try it with just music......What a world we live in!!!  We live in the future..Truly some of the things that are around today that we instantly take for granted are quite remarkable....I can now swim while listening to an audio book or podcast or my favorite songs.
WOW!....My only complaint is that there is no volume control...So I ended up with it  closer to my ears in order to hear better.   But other than that it was pretty amazing.........Come on Future Where is my Hoverboard at ?

July 5th Daily stats

1 mile swim.....
Should be able to run again tomorrow once my Riverwalk blister on the bottom of my foot heals

June 30th - July 4th San Antonio Trip Riverwalk Run and Running to the Alamo

It was really tough to exercise on my trip to San Antonio...But I tried to make sure to get some light exercise in while we were gone....(Especially with all the meals out on the Riverwalk)..

I got up and ran on our travel day  Wednesday June 29th... 4.4 Miles in the morning
We did a long walk that night on part of Riverwalk
June 30th was a really busy day visiting Josh at the Air Force base all day for Coin Ceremony...
July 1st again was a really busy day with Graduation and walking the Riverwalk.
July 2nd   I woke up early before we headed to get Josh from Air Force Base....Ran about 2   miles along the Riverwalk to the Dam and back...It was very humid




July  3rd....Late in the afternoon after we said goodbye to Kim's son at the Air Force base.....I decided to run on over to the Alamo and take a few pictures.....It was a really short run....about 4 1/2 blocks there...







It was a fun little relaxing run.....

July 4th was our travel  day back home....I had blisters on the bottom of my left foot from walking in vans the whole trip on Riverwalk....But was able to get in a 1 mile swim  at folks before the day was over
