Injury list…possibly
So I had a great great weekend. I’m still on cloud nine about my nice long swim. I will say It really was great to have a big accomplishment. In addition, since it was a swim…and not many people swim, I really enjoyed not having my accomplishment compared immediately to everyone’s past experiences. My …
Build day 2
Oh wow. This was 3600 yards since the pool was set up for yards. In the end it might have been 3700 or so because one of my sets was RIDICULOUSLY long compared to the rest so I suspect I counted the same lap a few times over. I got to the pool at 0540 …
Tuesday Tough day
Woweee. We are still in the last throes of a Florida Spring. This means our highs are in the 80’s and we have actual lows that dip into the mid sixties. To us Floridians, it feels chilly. We wear jackets and sweatshirts. This weather to me is excellent for slumber. I need no A/C …
Sufferin’
Yeah, this is the week of suffer. Monday I swam long and ran 1 mile. That one mile was incredibly painful. I was so excited too about monday as it is typically massage day. Noooooo. My massage therapist took ill. So I had to foam roll. which helped but it is not the same. Had …
Weighty Wednesday
Today was kind of the break point. I got most of the work for the sterile processing done. I can say now I have learned a great deal about endoscopes, and have learned some very shocking things. I am grateful to have some help in folks who actually understand the processing of these items and …
speed success
Thursday. Speed work. Treadmill. Again work is driving me crazy. I kind of want a different job but…I am not sure what that would be. Anyway because of a Work Retreat on Saturday ( Retreat- code word for 8 hour meeting) I have to take a lot of extra time off this week that I …
Apparently I am no longer Badass.
I didn’t mention that yesterdays workout also included some work for the legs and abs. I was so cold and tired after the swim last night that I did an abbreviated workout. Several supersets of Lunges, wall balls, and 1 legged squats. I actually felt a bit guilty…as if I had not done enough. Fast …
Home again Home again Jiggity Jig.
I found this past week to be a difficult one for exercise. How did everyone else fare with exercise over the Holidays? All the Travel, and Kids, and Food…and cold weather! I traveled to the frozen North to spend Christmas with my parents, my sister and her rather enormous extended family. (Upstairs Stockings/downstairs Tree) My …
Super Fab transition tuesday.
Tuesday was a transition tuesday. lots of swimming, the coach doubled the swim portion of the workout from last week. which made me wonder just what was he doing last week anyway.. So I got there nice and early…plunged into the pool and started my workout. Again Slug factor seemed to be involved in the …
Transition tuesday
Transition Tuesday went pretty well. I admit that I woke up feeling still very tired and kind of drained. I took my pulse as I was sure it would be some crazy number like 80. But no, it was 54. So, without the pulse being up I had no good excuse to skip the workout. …
