What a great day. Started at 7AM setting up at Cedar Beach for the Polar Plunge to benefit Special Olympics. Then at 12 noon I jumped into the Long Island Sound. It was COLD!! But it was a lot of fun and I will do it again. And it was a huge turnout from the community for the first time event. About 300 plungers!
Then after I got home and all the commotion was over, I still had to tackle long run day. I did 5 miles today at 2 minute walk / 2 minute run intervals. Longest effort yet. It was a little tough, but I was still on a high from jumping in the water so I got through it in about an hour and ten minutes.
Funny moment was running past one of those roadside digital speed signs that show how fast you are going. It didn't flash as I passed it. I guess I have to pick up the pace a little!
And the best news is I am down 11 pounds since I began the program 2 weeks ago!
