P.E.S.

Yes. It's true. I have come to the unalterable conclusion that I suffer from, shhhhh, P.E.S. For those of you who are not up on your acronyms, that's Post Exercise Stress disorder. This phenomenon occurs after taking your body to not so familiar (and) uncharted waters. The symptoms are bloating, eating everything in sight, and a strong desire to lie in bed in the morning moaning and groaning about sore body parts.

I am happy to report that I am starting to feel like my old self today. While I am still suffering from the last symptom, everything else is starting to come around. No doubt, my usual bout of sluggishness this morning was brought on by my 100 meter test yesterday. My usual 25 minute drive to the gym (from work) turned into an ugly one hour and fifteen minute commute. I was late. I threw on my brand new pair of Jammers and hit the pool. For all of my swimming tri gods and goddesses, here are my times, please feel free to comment:

1. 1:28
2. 1:39
3. 1:40

Not bad at all for a first test. I would have been happy to have three trial runs all in the 1:30s, but that just ain't the way it happened. I'll take the average of 1:36 seconds and go from there. What I do know is that my endurance really really sucks :-) I have a lot to work on.

Oh, my poor legs! Nothing serious mind ya, just a dull "I'm reminding you we're still here" ache in the shins and knees. I'm still going to try and get my 30 minute run in tonight, thunderstorms be damned, but I won't be doing any sub-10 minute miles.

Alright everybody! Gear up!! Lisa is doing her first half marathon this weekend. Let's show her the love and support we've all come to expect...
