I was frightened, somewhat enlightened - So I changed shoes

I woke up this morning after a very restless sleep. The husband said I was talking last night, something I have never really done before and something that usually creeps me out a little bit. The context of my night time babbling included being concerned that my mother-in-law would find out about a fish getting into my shoe that little one found. I have no clue what exactly was going on but of course I blame it on how much my body aches today. The body pump class I took the other day really played a number on my arms. In fact I think if I keep going to it I will lose weight just from the shear inability to lift food or drink to my mouth. 

Thank goodness yesterday was my first scheduled day of rest because just getting out of bed at all was difficult. We also took a unexpected trip to pick up a mountain bike for my dear husband. Of course after looking and looking and saving for a road bike to use for the triathlon we find a mountain bike for him, but this was one of those offers you cant refuse. He says he plans to ride it to work every day even in the winter as long as it isn't icy. I cant deny him that. 

He purchased a 2003 Cannondale Jekyll 400 

It was in near perfect condition for $300 and he loves it.

How is my training going? It is interesting to say the least. I'm not an athletic person so everything is new to me, but the most difficult by far is the swimming. My swimming experience this morning went much better than the last. 

#1. The pool was not "closed"

#2. The water did not chemically burn my skin and throat

#3. All jewelry was removed before hand and therefore not ruined

#4. The pool did not feel like a hot tub

The only down side this morning was driving on an icy interstate and dropping and breaking my waterbottle in the parking lot, which is still a huge improvement from my last experience.
