Last post from Cleveland!
I'll run the past 10 days together, since there's an enforced break about to kick in:

Miles biked: 50
Lengths swum: 64 (~= 1 mile)
Targets: 60 miles and 30 lengths. Fate giveth, and fate taketh away - I just ended up spending more time on campus than expected, and having less time on the road, so I went swimming 3 times. I guess the extra swimming counterbalances the 10 mile shortfall on the bike....

Since Spring Break I've exercised more consistently that any time since I used to be seriously into kung fu. Annoyingly I don't seem to have lost any fat (time to think more seriously about my diet I guess...), but I definitely feel a difference in fitness. I'm significantly faster up Edgehill, 30 lengths in the pool tire me less than 20 did in March, and it takes a third flight of stairs to get me out of breath. This is all very pleasing, and I hope I don't lose too much of that in 10 days of sitting in a car and not moving a great deal.

Tomorrow nein09 and I set off for Seattle tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to it a lot. I just hope my expectations aren't unrealistic.
