Third time a charm...

I had my third dragon boat practice today on the river and I must say, it was the best practice ever!  I hardly noticed the hour had gone by and I was not sore at all!  I think it helped that I finally broke down and bought... Crocs... yup, those atrocious yet comfortable clogs... the only reason why I bought them was because I was slipping terribly in the boat... water gets splashed in quite a bit so my fashionable yet impractical Pumas were not doing their job.  I kept slipping and sliding around, not having the right grip/posture to row which caused me immense pains and cramps during and after the practice. 

I actually felt pretty good after the practice so hopefully I'll have the full endurance/power for the race at the end of August

In other fitness news... I got my hands on a Wii Fit!  It's actually really fun... and I think the hula hoop game is actually helping me tone my waist!...  It definitely motivates me to work out more everyday (regardless of whether it's on the Wii or outside!) because the amount of time spent exercising can be recorded!  I can even set weight loss goals, etc.
