Somewhere between a tri-athelete and a nun!

My morning consists of:

4:00 a.m. annoying alarm clock sounding--only about 4 hrs after going to bed!
4:05 a.m. let Casey out, listen to Ivey Katapookis whine b/c she thinks it is time to eat,check
email
4:35 a.m. hop in shower
4:50 a.m. head out to gym
5:00 a.m. various weight machines, elyptical, treadmill, recumbant bike, sweat my buns off,
listen to annoying guy who thinks he is a comedian as he does his workout, sweat my
buns off, curse, wonder why I am doing this, "the Indy Mini what?"
5:55 a.m. locker room/change/shower
6:00 a.m. ah, the Nestee plunge!
laps and deep water excercises
6:35 a.m. Aack! Now that I am all warmed up it is time to head home to get ready for work @8

During my time in the pool each morning I meet up w/ a motley crew. Hence, the title of this entry, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN AND TRI-ATHELETE AND A NUN.

I usually get in the lane between the guy who is doing 2 laps to my every length and the nun from SMW who can dog paddle and a pretty fast pace. Everytime we are in this order in the lanes it really makes me chuckle.

My human nature tends to be envious of the tri-athelete but I keep telling myself that my performance is the only one I need to be concerned with.

Last night I actually attempted jogging around the neighborhood. Thank goodness I have 8 mths to prepare!
