Maybe it’s not always pretty. Or comfortable. Because on the days it’s not pretty or comfortable, it’s pretty damn awesome. That day was today. I started Week 15 out with a bang, so I hope to keep it going. Allow me to elaborate… On the schedule for today was my usual ante-meridian lifting session, followedContinue reading “Cruisin’”

Everything in time…
The new refrigerator was scheduled to arrive sometime between 12:15pm and 2:15pm. Actually, it was supposed to arrive LAST Saturday, but the snowstorm closed the Thruway and the truck with our fridge on it was coming from Ohio so…it didn’t make it. They called and rescheduled for the following weekend (as in, yesterday). I hadContinue reading “Everything in time…”
Solace by Swim
Let me first begin by saying that I’ve had a great training week thus far; I’m getting my hard efforts in, and – to use the words of a previous post – I’m “nailing” them (my stomach may not agree with this statement). Today’s swim workout was no exception. I “nailed” it. And I foundContinue reading “Solace by Swim”
It Ain’t Always Pretty
Or comfortable. Today it was neither pretty nor comfortable. As I alluded to yesterday, today I had a strength session in the morning and mile repeats in the afternoon. The morning strength routine was great – I hit some numbers I haven’t seen in awhile, my form was looking good, and I was definitely feelingContinue reading “It Ain’t Always Pretty”
Totally Out of Sync
My routine is in disarray. My weeks are all messed up. And I blame it on swimming. Or the lack of. I am totally, and completely, out of sync. I haven’t even been able to post the posts that I’ve wanted! This is pretty much an update to say that I’m behind on posting andContinue reading “Totally Out of Sync”
Change of Plans
Have a better day. This is what the (rather cute) police officer who pulled me over yesterday morning (at 4:22am) for a missing headlight said as he departed. It hasn’t been a bad one, I thought. That was how my day started. A slight disruption in the morning was going to lead to a slightContinue reading “Change of Plans”
Nailed it
That’s what I did to my treadmill interval workout today. Nailed it. Completely nailed it. Thanks also to Pepto-to-go, which, had I known about it 10 years ago, would have saved me a lot of bellyaching. Pun intended. As I stated in my last post – the review of Week 6 – this week bringsContinue reading “Nailed it”
Citius – Altius – Fortius
Faster. Higher. Stronger. (cue music) The Olympic motto. These very words conjure up images of strong, fast, agile men (and maybe women) of omnipotent ability. Of men and women who are supremely physically conditioned, going into battle and sprinting around tracks. And then… There’s me… I am 5 feet 2 inches tall. I weigh 107 pounds.Continue reading “Citius – Altius – Fortius”
The Morning Run
Thursdays are usually my swim day, but since my beloved YMCA pool is closed until December 1st for repairs and maintenance, I had to adjust my schedule. Today was either going to be another trainer day, or, if I was feeling really good, a quick little morning jaunt. When I awoke to 27 degree temperatures,Continue reading “The Morning Run”
The Annoying Fly
‘Tis the season for indoor work. Specifically – time on the indoor bike trainer. This has never been a favorite activity of mine, because going no where on a bike is significantly less exciting than being outdoors with bountiful scenery all around, all the wonderful scents to experience, and the hills, flats, and roads toContinue reading “The Annoying Fly”
