Light, I think the leg thingy you reference is a pool buoy/pull buoy. That is great that you got swimming again with no ill effects... the important thing for us all is when we fall off training for whatever reason, not to be negative about it and just pick it up again.

I ran my 5k yesterday in a stiff rainshower, after getting in at 3am ET(12 am local). But Vancouver peeps are hardy and they turned out to run. I had a great time. Plus I got a new best time for race conditions. Normally I run on the treadmill.

I came in around 34 40 on a hilly course. Even my marathoner sister thought it was hilly. so I was psyched. I am getting used to running in tough weather so when the sun comes around it will seem like a picnic!

Right now I am people watching in downtown Vancouver. It is a great city. we have been hotel camping since the house has been without power for days...

I am hoping to go snowshoe/ski later in the week, as well as another run or two.
