It’s been an interesting couple of months. We had been swimming 2 or 3 times a week with the evening masters swim team at American Fork, but all that stopped in December when everyone made their way to town for Christmas. It seemed like we might start swimming again in January, but we only went once or twice before heading off on our big trip to Portugal, Spain, and Morocco.

Now it’s the end of February and it feels like I haven’t been in the water forever.

I did finally get on the trainer with Charmaine again the other day. I think that will become a regular thing again. I really want to ride outside, but it’s still too cold, so the trainer will have to do.

I’ve decided I’m not going to allow myself to walk the run at Spudman this year. Joey Ekstrom has agreed to run with me at lunch. So far we’ve only gone once, and only for about a mile, but it’s a good start.

Today I went to the gym for the first time in years. Joe is trying to rehabilitate his broken leg, so we’re stuck doing upper-body workouts, but it’s great. After a few low-weight, high-rep sets, we walked on the treadmill for a few minutes. I hope that means we didn’t over do it and the trend will continue. Of course, that all depends on how long the company holds together, and that doesn’t look especially promising right now.
