Notes:
- I’ve been so angry about work lately that even my runs aren’t helping. I ran after work on Monday and just felt mad the whole time – mad about running in the shoulder and all the cars. Chill out, Kim.
- I’m not riding my bike as much as I used to (I am swimming more) and my butt can feel it – ouch! The good thing about my ride this week though, was that we put the TV back up in the basement! Woo hoo! We took in down in August to do ceiling work and couldn’t put it back up until we patched a hole, which Steven did last weekend. Yay for bigger screen entertainment!
- Merry (early) Christmas to me! I decided to buy a yearly pool pass for the gym I’ve been going to. Now I just need to 37 more times by October 28 next year to make it worth it.
- Ha, my speedwork was pretty goofy on Friday. Trails, running in to the wind, and up hills made it a bit sucky. I’ll remember not to do that again.
- The bugs came back with the warmer temps on Friday and Saturday. Blah!
- I got a massage on Friday. I thought my legs would be really tight, but my back and shoulders were the worst! Hopefully I am not messing it up more with swimming!

You amaze me with how much you work out! Plus the diversity of your exercise…it’s almost as if you LIKE this. 😉
Aww, thank you so much for the nice comment!!! I do like it, and it usually helps me with stress release!
That Friday speedwork definitely doesn’t sound fun! I’m sorry work continues to be maddening 🙁 Hopefully it’s something that can be sorted out soon.
It was such a bad idea! HA!
Thanks. I think it will be! I talked to someone today who thought we were almost finished with the horrible-ness! 🙂
You are probably loosening up your back and shoulders with the swimming (unless you have an injury) at least when mine are really bad thats what I tend to find!
Sorry that work has been so sucky…my last few months have been like that and my workouts seriously suffered..don’t let it drag you down. Bet the massage helped tho 🙂
I really hope so! Maybe I need to spend more time with the jets in the hot tub after? Ha!
Blah, I am happy you got out of it! And I HATE that it’s affecting my workouts – that’s when I know it’s BAD. It should get better though 🙂
