Running is fun!

Ok, so i'm crazy, I know, but I have actually decided that running is fun. It's not as much fun as biking, I think mainly due to the lack of speed, but it is oddly relaxing, peaceful, and freeing. I like running, and I'm looking forward to doing it, both a short run with the family tonight, and a longer one over lunch tomorrow. I also am planning to run my first organized run in about a week and a half, and I'll be doing my first 5k a month after that. I'm pretty excited. I feel great, I'm losing weight, I'm still biking to work and home every day, in short my body is working as a machine now, rather than as a storage battery for potential energy :)

I'm also looking forward to trying to become a decent swimmer, I'll have to work on that, mainly because of the whole deal I have of hating water in my face, and it seems the head up doggie paddle version of swimming I do isn't going to go very far when it comes to real swimming. I don't have any illusions whatsoever about swimming, I know this will be my weakness, but at least I know it, and I'm prepared for it.

I don't have much else to add today, just wanted to update, and keep logging my thoughts.
