Swimming!! Finally!

As Monday rolls around it always brings comments from people about their progress from the week prior. I love hearing the comments, hearing your stories. I find it remarkable that it is common language for some of us to discuss our weekly progress on Mondays. I have no idea where you watched the Super Bowl, but I know how hard you worked out last week, where you slacked, and what your numbers are.

As for me, I swam hard tonight. Harder than I did last week, and I didn't think that was possible. I kept getting cramps in the arches of my left foot, does this happen to anyone else? It was horrible, and painful. I spent my last 15 minutes using mostly just my arms because every time I kicked I got a cramp. Not to be gross, but the cramps were the cool kind that you can see. I stopped to rub a few of them out and could see the muscle knot up and move. It was freakishly cool.

If this storm storm is half as strong as they are predicting I am plan on playing a little hooky and taking the kids to the Pit. I can't think of better cardio that hauling 2 small children up a hill on a sled over and over again. If you haven't been to the Pit lately, the trees are padded and there are bales of hay set up to keep everyone safe!

I have not lifted since Friday, and need to get into the gym. I think Wednesday might be my best bet. I miss lifting, I want to go so bad today but there just wasn't enough time. And of course last Monday I lifted, refereed, and swam and it killed me. So tonight I ref'd two games then swam for an hour. I think I did okay today considering I never made it to the gym!

Tomorrow is another day. It is not the hours you put in, but what you put in the hours.

Inside all of us is HOPE.
