Commute to work, Vibrams. Was so tired, didnt really want to do this, but I remembered my car was at work, so I had to.
Very windy & dusty, bad for my chest. Lots of walking. Still, glad I did it.

HELLO FRIDAY! Well, it's my work Friday...4 day weekend!

Running walking to work today. I hear the wind outside, so I think it'll be more walking (asthma). The wind was very bad yesterday & there was mucho sand & smoke in the air. Terrible. Glad I had my inhaler...can't wait to leave and get to fresher air. 

Ouchies! Tried a new "CF" gym yesterday & loved it! (never mind that I can't lift my arms above my head right now, and my hamstrings are gonna pop...) It's not just CF, it's also a personal sport training facility. Really cool. You can choose to do the CF WOD or not, or when the WOD is over, they'll personal train you for sport specific enhancement, or learn new things, or just work on weight lifting form. Or you can do whatever you want. The place is big enough for all that. 

I've been meaning to go for 2 months now, but between travel, and travel, and more travel, then being sick, I finally got around to it yesterday. And they gave me a special of $50 for the first month, unlimited classes & training. Freaking awesome.  Hour KB class on schedule tonight. LOVE IT!

Tried a new box!
WU: 5 clean & press, 3 rounds of 10 one leg toe touch ( each side) & 20 pushups
WOD: Grace
30 clean & press
30 burpees-to-box jumps
7:42 ( hurt!)
Extra: pull ups

Last minute dinner with a coworker & his wife last night. They've lead a very interesting (childless by choice) life all over the world. Great pics, stories and advice. I just hope that K's health holds up so we can do some long-term travel. In the meantime, we can plan.

May 22

Much more functional, but I get tired easily. Made it through work, so that's a big step. Still very stuffy, but I think I'm getting better...

I think I'll have K work on my bike today. Maybe, just maybe, I'll try to ride it sometime. I should if we're going to do a sprint in 2 weeks.

5488 steps, 2.33 mi, 3 floors.

Marginally better. Still very congested, but the fever is gone & I have more energy. Still draining thick green.

4525 steps, 4 floors, 1.92 mi.

Watched K race the Armed Forces day triathlon on base. Surprising turnout of several hundred, but no one that good. One Team USA guy, but he wasn't that impressive. K got 1st in his AG.

Watching that took everything out of me, so I slept for 3 hours. Being sick sucks.

May 18

Only lasted 45min at work. Got very dizzy, couldn't remember my computer passwords. Boss sent me home, now at 8am, I'm back in bed. Guess I'll be spending the weekend trying to get better. Feeling a little more functional today. Have a birthday dinner tonight at my favorite joint (Toms, down the street) and because my mother brainwashed me, if I don't go to school, I can't go play. So, I'm going to work. I hope I last all day. Guess I'll spend the day looking & dreaming about races in my altered mental state. ANYTHING sounds fun right now, anything but laying in bed or the couch. I might come to regret some decisions. :)


Spent the first half of yesterday in a big haze, periods of not remembering things, like K telling me he was leaving for part of the day (to get away from my nasty, sick self). Started to feel more like a normal person in the early evening...

So, I spent my semi-functional evening time looking at races. And feeling like I have unfinished business with some tri's. Glad I didn't sell my bike last month like I was *this* close to doing. Being around all my BT friends last week sparked my fire...I found some sprints and oly's I can do this fall, lets hope I can learn to like the bike. I haven't been ON my bike since IMTX, 1 year ago.
