Swam 1250m this morning after have an awful day yesterday :-( After my ride I felt so sick and all through work I felt so sick. I think it was dehydration. Anyway, I wasn’t sure if a workout was going to happen this week but it did!!
On a different note, I had my initial weigh in for the Do Life challenge. I decided I needed a push a little :-) I’ll post the weigh in’s...

Boxing
Had a great one hour INDOOR boxing class - this heat is uber cray cray and I did not want to die today. Now off to work where all my old people will be wearing sweaters and I will think they are even crazier - but I love them.
