Aqua Jogging to help climb a mountain

I realise it is important to try and keep fit but I have great

difficulty in running as I suffer with asthma on exertion,

I tried aerobics classes and basically became bored

and intimidated by the leotard swathed beauties,

the gym does not do a lot for me either although

I do like using a jogging machine.

I am quite happy in the water and will happily swim around

although I am not that strong a swimmer

While at the pool a few years ago there was a group Aqua Jogging

and I thought "Yes" that's for me.

So I have been exercising this way on and off for years,

but I must admit that I have been remiss in going for months now

but today I got up early and into my track suit and off to the pool

it was great and I enjoyed it, so my aim is 3 times a week.

There is also an Aqua aerobics class at the pool

so that will be on the timetable as well.

All this is the start of training for a "Real Women's Race"

to take place in February 2010

This consists of a 10km bike ride and a 5km walk......

My neighbour Lynne is taking part as well.

This does not sound like to much

but when you have done nothing in the way of exercise

for approx. 2 yrs ....it is like climbing a mountain
