I've been getting a fair bit of exercise lately.
I've been in the pool every day since I arrived in Maine, with the exception of two (this past Monday and the Sunday that Tom was here). I've been swimming 24 to 34 laps per day, typically 3 of breast stroke alternated with 1 of freestyle. I've been practicing my kick flip turns, taking it slow to even out my strokes, and stepping my workout up and down (interval training, basically).
In addition, I spent Tuesday and Wednesday at my grandfather's house in New Gloucester helping him in the garden. Tuesday was a LONG day of running the power mower and cultivator, weeding, and fixing the mower in the shop. Wednesday involved more mowing and weeding. Both days involved lots of blueberry picking in the dappled shade. 6 quarts total!
I'm planning to swim 5 days per week in Pittsburgh, either at a private pool belonging to Tom's friends, or at the local community pool.
T-minus five days until I touch down in PGH! So much to do, both in Maine and Pittsburgh. I'm gearing up to work hard to finish everything.
Current task: work a few more hours for my Mom's business to make some spending cash. Next up: mail a package to Pittsburgh (stuff that won't fit in my luggage), make blueberry marmalade, and go see a gospel concert.
