Hanging in there, everyday is a new day

02.01.08

First and foremost, I’d like to congratulate my good friend Tara Anderson for making January’s top 5 list of Most Bangable Blog Babes. Great job Tara, the Gumkowski’s are real proud of you.

So where have I been….well, after my ‘nap’ on Tuesday night (only 5 hours sleep, not good) I felt surprisingly good on Wednesday but had a big day. Up at 5 for my long swim - 2250 yards (felt awesome in the pool, love the long Z3 sets). Worked for the college that day, saw clients in my practice and visited with a friend that evening. By 8:30 I was done, literally I couldn’t move I was so exhausted.  Another night in the donut pjs (photo coming soon).

Rested Wednesday night, up at 4am on Thursday for my brick before work. 27 bike to 6 mile run - had to go to the gym for the run, actually nabbed a treadmill and was able to get the whole 6 in without interruption. Saw clients yesterday and then received a massage last night. Focused on my legs, needed to recharge them for Saturday’s long run.  My upper back and neck are a wreck but I will have to leave that up to self massage and my thera-cane.

Back home for dinner with my most bangable blog babe and hubby - watched Lost, good stuff.  Left me with chills and questions.

Feeling pretty good today - only getting about 7 hours of slept which is really not enough but tonight will be early to bed.  Hitting the pool today for my temp swim, I’ve got it in me just need to do it.

Coffee, coffee, coffee…..it’s like massage for me, I couldn’t do what I do without it.

    Jess, thanks for the shout-out. I really do need to thank your whole family for the support. It’s been a goal of mine to receive an honor like this and I know it was with your encouragement that I’ve achieved so much. Being that it’s February, my reign is over but it will always be a title I carry with me…
