Kayaking

Yesterday I had a very active day.
I went running after work like normal. I must have run almost 4 miles I think. I've improved alot in the last few weeks. Yesterday was the first time ever that I ran an entire mile. I've been mostly running til I can't breath then walking til I can. Apparently the strategy is working. I'm doing really well. Also the weather has lightened up considerably here so it isn't so humid. I'll probably start doing some speed work soon. I just hate the thought because I hate running in circles.
Anyways.
After I slept for awhile I went kayaking with a friend of mine. She found 2 kayaks for a great deal and I have lake access so its a great situation. I've never kayaked before last Sunday. I really like it. Ananya likes to go out with me. We went several miles yesterday. We were gone for 1 1/2 hours. Ananya just sat in my lap looking around. She had her hand on the paddle and was "helping". Of course at times that made rowing very difficult.
I guess I have a new hobby now kind of. I really liked being out on the water. Its so calm and peaceful, except when the jet skis came out to play.This is us wore out after our long trek up and back down the river.
