Yesterday, after dinner, we decided to head to the Rec Center for the evening. While we were getting ready, I told Karri that I was going to run to the Korte Rec Center. The rec. center is about three miles from our house. She looked at me like I had gone mad. So we packed the kids up, put them in their car seats, and I set off to start my training. I ran to the end of our street, about 6 houses, and decided that was enough running for one day. I put up my thumb for a ride when Karri and the kids drove up. Thankfully they stopped! Lauren called me an old man. She also said I was silly for running in the street because I could get hit by a car. It's hard to argue with simple logic. So instead of running to the rec. I hydrated with a bottled water and enjoyed the ride. It was, of course, the safe thing to do.
When we arrived, Karri walked with Jessalyn, and Lauren and I headed straight for the pool. Once Karri and Jessalyn came into the water, I took Jessalyn and walked against the current in the Lazy River for about 15 minutes. It seems to be a good, low impact, aerobic activity. Just what I need as I get started.
Today I weighed 196 pounds. I fluctuate between 190 and 199. I have yet to hit 200. Hopefully I will be able to stay below 200. My gutters need to be cleaned and my ladder has a 200 pound weight limit!
