Just an Average SKIRT

Photo of when we first got Lhasa, she was 5 months old, 55 lbs and a ton of trouble. Way too big for being that young - bull in a china shop.

Up at 5am Wednesday, hit the pool at 6:00ish for a 2650 yd swim. It always feel good to get in the water, I think its my new favorite thing to do. Running was my favorite thing but after 2 marathons in 2 months and a pending xray on Friday, I think I’m pulling back from running and re-embracing the swim. Although my arms felt really short yesterday, I felt like my hands extended were little balls. I think my forearms, wrists and hands are really tight from massage. Looking forward to getting my massage on Friday. My main set was 250yds in Z3 then 6×100 at my pace from the 250 plus 20 secs. My pace was about 1:42 so I decided to do the 100s on 2 minutes, of course, going for the 1:35 pace and then resting for the remainder in between. I was able to complete all six in under 1:30, the best being my last at 1:26 (the last one hurt like a motha!). I was very happy with those times. Gotta keep this up!

Two (of many) incredible organic meals yesterday that are worth noting….

Lunch: tempe sauteed (a little crisp on it) with green and red peppers, served with fresh spinach in a flour tortilla with cholula and tomatillo salsa and a Whole Foods rootbeer.

Dinner: Pesto, basil, Asiago raviolis served with sauteed sun dried tomatoes and pine nuts, topped with 3 cheese blend (asiago, romano, parmesan). A loaf (it was a mini-loaf) of harvest grain bread (oil olive for dipping), spinach/baby greens salad with green/red peppers, dried cranberries, crunchies and balsamic dressing. Served with a glass of organic Cono Sur Cabernet Savignon. YUMMAS!
