I did get back in the water this spring to train to do the swim part of a triathlon and it it was great ( I was a swimmer in HS and College). Since the triathlon a few weeks ago I took up running to compete in a 5k fun-raising type run and now I need to keep at both activities. My times weren't the fastest, but they were fun to say the least.
I have done more and more skiing with the kids the last few years and really enjoyed it, except my W doesn't ski, so it has been a drag with out her. Then there is the tension / pressure put on her to go and then she has a crappy time and..well, you get the picture.
Kayaking is next on my GAL activity. I still have my 20 year old kayak in the garage and want to get a newer one to see how they handle. I am sure they are like the new "shaped skis" and how much funner they are.
Enough about that......Did your H hear about your trip and did he say anything?
My sitch is still the same here, Same house, DB'ing every chance I get and it seems like I am backsliding at least once daily....even though I am trying to work on every chapter in the book.
