I went swimming yesterday for the first time in... 7 months? - Yes, 7 months. It felt awesome to do something that I feel I am fairly good at, and just zone out for a while. There are times when my breathing was hypnotizing... I followed my workout with a cold shower - on my legs, calves, glutes... I am still SO tight and sore from last Saturday and I really want to put on a good showing at the half marathon this Sunday. I don't know whether this cross-training will be good or bad for my marathon, but I REALLY am getting bored with all the running. I am thinking that I could sub out one of my weekly runs for swimming and spinning. I really REALLY miss spinning.
Today I walked with the dog and I'll walk with my sister and her new baby after lunch. I have a nice 3 mile loop planned and the weather is finally agreeable - sunny and 40s!

Hi Lynne! Thanks for leaving a comment on Phase Five. I'm glad you were motivated by my trip to Starbucks!
I'm not a triathlete, but I am with you on cross training. I don't really get bored running, but I have to mix things up for the sake of my joints. I am finding success by replacing one run a week with spinning, so if you miss it, I say get started again. Just make sure not to hold back in class!
