I am pretty sore from doing weights yesterday. I've been pretty good about stretching though and I think that has made my sudden increase in activity less painful. I am feeling really motivated to do this. Response from Adam, family and friends has been very positive. I feel a little guilty spending 7 hours a week working out since it seems like there are many better things I could be doing with my time but I'll just have to get over that.

Workout:
Stationary bike: 25 minutes, hill intervals: med-high intensity
Swim: Practiced decreasing the amount of strokes to get across the pool. My normal stroke took 20 strokes to get across. After focusing on really maximizing my arm strokes and kicks, I got down to 14 today. If that's as much progress that I can make in only one day, I am very optimistic to improve much more by race day. Swam 25 yrds followed by 30 sec. rest. Didn't count laps, just arm strokes.
