Getting back in gear...

This week has confirmed for me, because it hadn't hit me yet, that I am finished with class! YAY! My schedule for the past week has been study at home 8-12, lunch, study at starbucks 1-6, workout, walk abbey, sleep....and repeat. To you this probably seems like the worst week ever, but I'm actually loving it!! Granted, I woudn't be studying if i didn't have to, but i'm sort of enjoying studying on my own schedule for once, no classes to work around or stupid labs to attend. And even more surprisingly is that I'm more focused here in Tempe, with a million distractions around me, than I was in Kirksville, the land of nothing to do. I guess I just know that at 6pm i'm free to distract myself with the gym, the pool, or my bike, well not so much the bike anymore because I busted the air valved on it last night getting ready for a ride! grrrr. I was all geared up to go too...man! I guess its not a huge deal, I just need to get it fixed asap so i can get back to riding!

So after rendering my bike unridable i decided to run to my new gym and swim a bit! I just joined Lifetime Fitness here, its not far from my apt at all. I LOVE IT!! The pools are great (a little cold but i'm always cold) and its soooooo nice, and actually not very expensive. I'm really excited about it...I just have to get familiar with everything so I don't look like that girl who's never been to a gym before! (i was her yesterday)

It's only been about a week but I already feel better in my workouts. Slowly but surely i will win this battle with the arizona dry air! It's not so fun when you feel like your lungs are full of dust and you have the worst cottonmouth ever! But its ok, i'm getting better. I found some awesome bike shops in town that I need to visit this weekend, i love bike shops...its like my candy store. I've also emailed a couple triathlon clubs here about joining. I want to start getting more serious about training and actually train with a group again. The Phoenix triathlon club is pretty serious and it seems awesome, but i'm not sure how far i'd have to drive since I live in Tempe :-( But i'm about 80% sure I'm going to join. If not that club, I'm looking at Strada racing club. That's through the bike shop and its more of a cycling team but they do have a small triathlon team. I have to look more into them this weekend. Ok well time to study!!! For some reason Friday's don't have any real significance...maybe since i have no real requirements during the week anyway lol. Maybe i'll treat myself to some tv tonight with my girl abbey :-) I'm such a rebel......
