Back at the gym...
 

Took a 2 month "bridge" from the gym January/February because I was in hospital and then I couldn't get myself there and my two bad legs were kind of non-conducive to exercise.

Friday was the first day of the new month. Time to see if I can still swim. hadn't gained back any of the weight I lost in the last 12 months (25lb) but lost a lot of strength and who knows with the stamina.....

Thought about having beest drop me off and then walking home afterwards, but it's a long walk and the weather was not nice. Was working up the courage to drive there (beest had the van because he was on taxi duty after school, so would have to be the Fit -a stick....)....... Thor called from school. After working hard all week and getting a star on his work for the first time. he had left his prized piece of work at home and couldn't "check out". Any other time I'd've said "tough break dude" But he'd had a shitty week with his hockey coach and worked so hard....... GULP. Long story short... I did it. 10 miles across town. Then -after many tears and stuff- I drove to the gym.

THE FUCKING POOL WAS CLOSED FOR MAINTENANCE. Cried. then did a small upper body work out and hit the hot tub. At least I had driven. A lot.

Swam a half mile on Monday. and on Tuesday.

and a mile today


:D :D :D

followed by a timed 400....

I honestly don't think I would be able to do any of that, and I'm stroke free. I think the farthest I ever swam is about a quarter mile.

yebbut you could probably run further than me :D

thanks especially for that :)

Today's Monster totem is...the envelope please...

The Wolverine!

The wolverine has a reputation for ferocity and strength out of proportion to its size, with the documented ability to kill prey many times larger than itself...the wolverine has been recorded killing prey such as adult deer...An account placed a polar bear of unknown age and weight together with a similar wolverine where the smaller, tenacious predator came out the victor.

Fitting, since she lives in ann arbor!

She is teh awesome, isn't she? :)
