Yogis

Yoga with a three-year old is interesting.  While he isn’t much help, he now knows what a “downward dog” is, and stretches perfectly to the tunes of One EskimO.

Happy Friday

So I stayed off my hamstring for a day or so, and did a light run 2.5 mile run last night.  This morning was spin class (crazy land).  The hammer felt good, and the class was brutal as all hell, so I think I am out of the woods. Now, I am sitting in a CLE […]

Who Gets Hurt on Rest Day?

Yesterday was a rest day for me, which I was welcoming with open arms. But as I walked to the bathroom at work – poof, out of nowhere – my left hamstring (or hammer, in old school weightlifting speak) starts bothering me.  And it gets worse throughout the day.  Who gets hurt on rest day? […]

Sanity Rant

I am so flipping frustrated today.   That’s really all I wanted to say.  I had a rotten day. People are stupid and rotten.  Just rotten would be fine.. but stupid too?  Stupid is just insulting.  And playing me for stupid… man, stupid. I woke up at 4:30am, completed everything I was supposed to do today, including […]

Googles

I emailed my swim workout to my Monster Coach tonight. I explained to him that my goggles broke near the end of the workout, so I had to knot them up and swim all crooked to finish.  That was funny enough. But after he responded, I noticed that instead of typing “goggles”….I typed googles. I spend […]

Rain

…if I wasn’t watching two kids, drafting documents and trying not to lose my mind, I would like to go for a run outside in the rain….really, I would.  It’s been that kind of day.  But if I ran out of the house, I might pull a Forrest Gump. Is it weird that I want […]
