Things are looking good.

I am getting better at motivating myself to swim. I have discovered that swimming 1000 yds is best done by counting 10 100 yard sets. I feel like it is easier to complete 10 rather than saying 40 lengths! So, yet another way to trick myself into feeling like this isn't a long time spent in the pool.

My weight loss project is going pretty well right now. I am back down to 140, and preparing to face the inevitable temptation to eat my way right back to 145. I feel like I am more motivated to lose the pounds, and I have more control over myself. It feels good to be on track. I will be at my goal by the end of August!

If I am lighter and the temperatures start dropping off, I am hoping my speed on both the bike and the run will increase rapidly. My long runs have slowed to a relative crawl (10:30 min/mi at times). My bike speeds are not too bad, but I tend to go in the early morning, and the movement of air seems to keep me cooler. I am hoping to bike Usery Pass tomorrow before going to San Diego at 15 mi/hr (that's a 3 hour total ride time).
