Kickin' It

The last few days while at the gym I have been rather envious of the other swimmers and their kickboards. The gym doesn't provide kickboards, and I don't own one, so I just lay on my back and kick back and forth. All the while, the cool kick board owners chit chat it up as they swim back and forth, free of water flowing over their face.

Well people, after today, this will NOT happen anymore. I am the proud new owner of a pink kick board from Sports Authority. I'm not going to lie, I shopped around a bit, and even toiled with the idea of getting the Dora the Explorer one - but I knew if I threw down a Dora board poolside I would confirm my swimming peers' thoughts that I really am 11 years old.

So watch out Rohnert Park Swimmers, I am coming for you with my bright pink kick board, and I cannot be stopped.

Gym

Today I finally did it, I joined a gym. Now don't get me wrong, I don't need a gym to go running, but I do need a gym to swim laps! So today I went with Allie and signed up so that I can start swimming laps again, and just to prove to myself that it was worth it, I went and swam some laps right after I signed up!

It felt great to be swimming again, and I felt so much more tired and thoroughly worked out after swimming in comparison to running (maybe it's just the swimmer in me coming out after a few years of hibernation). Either way, I love it. I'm so excited I did it, and I'm looking forward to swimming in addition to my Tue/Thur/Sun runs with Stephanie. Go me haha!

Other than that, as soon as I got home from the gym I made some blueberry muffins, talk about hypocrite, but at least I didn't feel as guilty when I was licking the bowl clean!
