Daniela is born

My first niece was born this morning. Welcome to this world Daniela!

I went to the CRWC in the morning and found that pools were closed. So, I drove to C'ville Rec Center and swam 11 laps there. I need less rest between laps.  That makes me feel happy because I know there's been some progress. I swim front crawl one way and back stroke on my way back.

Running

Second day in a row running. I ran on the Saucony-Kinvara this morning (four miles). I think my foot is stronger now. I believe I could run Bix7 without injury.
I joined the WeRun group in the evening. I ran almost six miles with a young guy, Ben. Brian and Kris are very nice people. They are organizing a 5K race for September 1st.
I am continuing writing Cartas A Mis Hijos. I started letter 2, which is about Assen's adoption. I talked to my mother and my aunt.  I asked how my grandma died and my aunt said it was a xxx.

Laps in the Diving Well

I was kind of scared to go to the CRWC this morning. I was afraid I was too tired of swimming and I was not going to be able to swim 50 mts at a time in the olympic pool. Decided to go out of bed and give it a try. I was very glad to see that swimmers were using the diving well for lap swimming and also that it was almost empty! I swam ten laps, most of them front crawl.

CRWC

We visited the CRWC (Campus Rec & Wellness Center) yesterday. Assen tried the I-fliers for a second time. He swam in the deep part first and then in the olympic pool.  I was very impressed with his form and his endurance!  What a great opportunity to be able to train in such state of the art facility! We got a family membership, so we can enjoy the facility.
We visited the facility a second time in the afternoon, before going for dinner, and I was able to do eight laps. Most of them in back stroke. Going front crawl to whole 50 mts is tough. The CRWC has a steam and a sauna room!

X-Training

Swam about ten laps or more this morning.  I usually swim front crawl first length and back stroke the length back. This time, I did not take very long breaks in between lengths. Happy with my progress.

I started writing Cartas a Mis Hijos last night.  I wrote in  Spanish.  I will write in English next time. It's fun! I hope they get to read them some time.
Sophia completed her swimming class today. She passed PS-II and she will be taking PS-III starting next week.
I received my Sportcount in the mail.  With this little gadget, it will be easier to count laps when I go swimming.  Can't wait to go back to the pool!  Maybe I should try it tomorrow morning, if I can.

Jueves Run

Ran with Karen this morning to Ashton. I ran faster than her in Ashton. Ran a total of five miles this morning. Foot does not hurt, but it feels funny. I want to run the Bix7, but not sure if it is a smart idea.  Let;s see how my foot feels in th next couple of weeks.

Miercoles Run

Listened to SteveRunner while I ran. Steve read a poem, Yesterday by M. S. Merwin.  It was pretty good.  Time went faster because of listening to the podcast, but I had to fix my earphones every ten yards.
