Enjoying life one day at a time
March 4
March 3
Just got on the trainer and spun out my legs. Was a little tight to start, but loosened up really nicely. Just did some steady effort spinning... little chain ring work. Feelin' good now!
PT exercises and stretches
The school buses were cancelled again this morning... thus school was closed... because of "freezing rain"... well the sun is shining the sky is blue... and it's expected to get to +7*C today. If they had delayed the buses an hour or two, there would have been no problem... and they wouldn't have had to miss yet another day of classes. One more cancellation and they will have to extend the year into July. :(
I had a great sleep though... I was tired. Today... I think I'll go for a swim. Then maybe a LIGHT spin on the trainer to loosen up the legs. Otherwise, I'm feeling good after the long run yesterday. :)

March 2
My longest run to date. LSD... enjoying the sunshine and sparkling snow... but with that came the cold. -14*C when I started -4*C when I finished. Great way to start out the day. Not sure when the HR went up to 150... maybe in the last 8 min when I was pushing to get home in the 1.5 hours I had planned... problem with that ... I was still 1.5 km from home. Still... not bad only 4 min over my plan... and I had stopped a few times to take pictures.
Note to self... take more food. One Granola Bar and 500ml of water is not enough. Wasn't to bad, but a little hungry now.
I remember checking watch @ 1/2 way point... I believe it was 50 min and change. So the last 1/2 I did in 44 min... that would be a negative split baby. :)
Heading out for a long one... DONE... I'm impressed with that run. Felt good and strong the entire time. Even on the hills. :)

It's a sad day in Canada. One of our greatest national treasures died today. Say prayers for the family of Jeff Healey.
He will be sorely missed by those who remember him fondly. :(

Processing your request, please wait...
This was tough... the distance is an estimate... but close.
I modified the planned workout I was working on when I hurt the shoulder. I tried to do about 1/2 of each distance interval. It was BRUTALLY hard... boy you sure lose your swim mojo in a hurry.
I'm going to have to go see V... get her input into my stroke, before I do anymore damage.
I guess I'm on my way back. :)

Did some exercises while waiting for lane swim to start... I was there 1/2 hr early -- oops. I did my PT exercises for shoulder, crunches and dips... then it was time to swim.
Work crazy busy again.... didn't get to bed on time to swim in the morning... so I had to swim tonight. I'm hoping to swim the next couple days (sweetums willing), and will try to get on the trainer or treadmill in the mornings. See how that works. LOL
