I got outside on the bike for the first time in 2009 today; the ride was okay — it was 30s and not windy which feels pretty comfortable — but my God am I out of shape. That’s what a few weeks off does to me, I suppose. My legs felt okay, but my HR was so high I don’t want to give the number. Too embarrassing.
Tonight I have my first swimming lesson with a new group, and I’m nervous and excited about it. It would be nice if I weren’t the slowest, most awkward swimmer there …
And my doctor says I can try running again this week. Only 10 minutes at a time, but it’s a start. I’m supposed to stop immediately if it hurts, though, and I’m worried that it might.

Good luck at swimming tonight and I hope the running works out.
Thanks Sarah! The swim class was fun, as you’ll see from my latest post. I’m going to try running tomorrow.
