Update

I followed through with my plan to do a little swimming today. I swam/kicked laps for about 30ish minutes. I did very little with the jog belt, but feel like I got a pretty good workout in . I'm definitely more tired following a water workout than I ever was with jogging. I'm guessing it's because it involves more muscle groups?!? My arms have certainly felt the impact of "freestyling it." I hope that they're starting to show some of that hard work too!

Hope you all have a great night and a wonderful start to a new week!

Running in the Water

I know that I said I was going to play with my aqua jogger this weekend, but I did it today instead. I swam laps yesterday and had planned to rest today and do more laps tomorrow. Well, as usual, change of plans! Last night I decided I would go ahead and head to the pool this morning for a little experimentation. I took my i-pod, set it to Carli's week 9 podcast, strapped on the aqua jogger, and hopped in the pool. I had forgotten how strange it feels to try to run while floating! I'm still not sure if my form was correct, but surely I had to have burned at least a few calories. Don't you think?

I definitely need more practice with the belt though. I think that I'll try to search online for some water workouts that utilize it or at least some suggestions for how to get a good workout with it. If nothing else it's a good way to mix things up.

Oh, by the way, I did find some time yesterday to catch up on my reading. I enjoy seeing how you all are doing with your runs. Keep up the good work!
