It was a pretty damn sweet weekend! Friday left work early and took the mountain bike out for 10k. Not super far, but far enough to get a better feeling for it. It wasn’t quite long enough, but was still a fun ride, and I was still tired from climbing 🙂 Saturday morning was the…

The weekend was great — took out the kayak with a good friend, and then was very very lazy all day Sunday. Yesterday I started more of my regular workout schedule, as it hadn't normalized since losing the cast. I swam in the morning — 2600 yds in sets of 200s with target times near…

Got back in the pool today… first time since things broke. It felt good! I was tired, so was glad I had talked to Lisa about actually meeting her in real life and getting some swimming in, since then I was committed to going. And now I have a voice and such to put to…

Soooooo… my cast is gone! I now have 2 hands! In celebration, I volunteered a 24 Hr race at Catalina last weekend. It was awesome. I wasn’t planning to do it, but they were definitely short on people, so I said ok. Ended up getting to spend time in the ocean in a speed boat…

So I think I'm going to track my biking and running mileage on this cast. As in, after each bike (on a trainer since can't risk a fall yet) or run, I will in sharpe on the cast write in the mileage under the appropriate heading (either bike or run). I think it will be…

I got a new cast on yesterday (after some xrays)… and now it is green! I saw the color and thought of Kermit the Frog. A friend has drawn Oscar the Grouch and Gir (it looks just like the litte green guy there… he's one of my favorite cartoon characters in the world — from…

Hard run last night, but a good one. I almost skipped it — I taught for a few hours after I got off work and was definitiely tired, and my friend was skipping her 7-9pm class, and my plan had been to run while she was busy and then go get frozen yogurt together. But…
