Should have stayed in bed

I think I would have had a better workout if I had just stayed in bed.  But, it was nice to get back into the cold Y pool. 

I realize that it will take time to get back to where I was once.  And thanks to a wonderfully supportive wife and family, I get to go play in the mornings before “life” begins.  So, thankfully I do get the time!  I can’t hurry working out, I can’t look at the clock and wonder “when will this be over”.  I must look at the clock less and think of how much fun I’m having!  I’ll get there!

 

Holy Cow!  That puts me over the 70K Yards for the year.  huh…

Baby sweats…

(thanks S for todays “title”).

Met the usual suspects, (plus 1) at the Y this morning for a Christmas Eve walk on the dreadmill.  It was really good to get back into the gym and see the same happy smiling faces as I used to.  The true “hardcores” were there. 

Followed it up with a little water at the local watering hole and spread some good yule tide!

I’m not “back”, and I haven’t “gone anywhere”…

I’ve been here everyday.  Reading every post, dreaming of working out with those of you sweating, running with those of you who are running, biking with those who bike, and swimming with those who swim…Thats what I did awhile back…That’s what I’ll do again soon!  Surgery was a complete success and I’ve been given the go ahead for “light to moderate” exercise, (but, can’t seem to get  a definition of “light to moderate” that I agree with), however, once given the A-OK I got the crud…So, have been blowing my nose every 10 minutes for the last few days. 

Plus, the 12 + inches of snow we have here in Seattle hasn’t helped much.  Cabin fever certainly has snuck up on me.  Yesterday I finally just left my house and did some errands.  I love driving in snow, I just hate how others drive in snow.  Seriously people, if you don’t know how to drive in it, DON’T!

So…Didn’t want you to think I dropped off the wagon or ended up flipped in a snow bank.  I’m here, I’m around, I’m reading, and I can’t wait to be sweating again soon! 

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to all!
