Am I getting more Dense?

Seriously, that's the question. Or is it more denser? ; )
I really have noticed a change in my body position while swimming. I just dont seem to float the same way I used to. I wonder if lifting weights and doing more core work has changed my body composition. I feel a little bit leaner, and waayyyy more ripped (haha), so it is possible.
Anyway, it is quite strage trying to adjust to the new sinking feeling.

Yesterday I went to swimming in the morning, and then after school, I did about 40 min on the trainer while watching Desperate Housewives. I just wasn't feeling up to doing spinervals, and hearing Coach Troy, so this was a great alternative. It was actually a good workout, as I was able to keep up a solid tempo intensity for the duration, save for a 5 min easy spin break. I thought I would end up slacking, but really didn't. I think I will do this again, since I get alot of interval type training at revving on Tues/Thurs.

Speaking of revving, today we went for a nice Cold run, quite easy paced, for 40 min. I had on a tank top, 2 long sleeve shirts, a jacket, a toque, a hood for a bit, shorts, pants and gloves. The layers saved my life! It was actually not too bad until we turned into the wind. The spinning was about 40 min long too.

While running, my left knee/hip started to hurt. I felt this soreness in my hip on my Sat run. I think my IT band is going crazy. I will spend some quality time with the balls tonight, and try to work it out. The IT band thing is new for me, but it seems as soon as I get one thing figured out, a new item pops up!

For fun, here is a picture from the summer:
After Winning the Mackenzie Sprint Triathlon. Hooray!!
