Body Pump at the gym with the snow swirling outside.

Then I hopped on the bike at the gym since there would be no biking outside today. Or tomorrow.

I did the "Around the World" workout, where I climbed all of the major mountain ranges around the world. #superwoman

C • bike trip 1

I went to my gym to get in a swim practice just in case I can't make it any other time this week. It was beautiful because when I got there, there were only 2 other people, and they left soon after I arrived...Is it something I said??

Week 3 Day 2 (2.2)

My boss declared it a half day today so we could go home and get our gardens ready for the weekend storm. Another storm with 12+" of snow is forecasted. Sadly, we had to cancel our local meet tomorrow because we had a lot of school groups planning to attend, and the leaders were concerned about their safety. Plus...a foot of snow.

Before I protected my garden, I decided to get in a quick run in the park. It was surprisingly crowded for the middle of the day. Probably everyone trying to get in one last workout outside before being cooped inside for the weekend.

Beginning back with Week 3 of C25K for my triathlon training.

In Laramie to help Mikell after he had a bit of a fall off his bike last Thursday. From what witnesses say, he and his bike went flying through the air (without the greatest of ease), and he crashed down on his left (dominant hand) side. He broke his clavicle, 3 ribs, and injured his hip flexor. Surgery is tomorrow to put a plate on his clavicle to stabilize it and then 4-6 weeks of recovery. My most frequently used words on this trip are, "Poor baby."

Needless to say, guitar playing is a no-go for awhile.

I was so close to turning over and going back to sleep this morning when my alarm went off at 6:00 am. But, knowing that I'll be missing next Sunday's practice, I dragged myself out of bed, chugged a cup of coffee, and was off to swim practice.

In the end, as usual, I was glad I went. It felt so easy today and...I was moved up to the next, faster lane by my coach! So, something is working.

Collecting controls from yesterday since most of the standard control collectors had to leave right after they were done competing. :-(

In the end, I had 3 other folks help me out, so it went much quicker than when I set them out. I was so happy and appreciative when they volunteered to help out. I was almost in tears at the prospect of another 5 hours at Chatfield.

My stalwart helpers: Terri Chawla, Brooke Mann, and Chris Silva.
