Good Morning

For someone with not much to do, I sure keep busy. I've been working out with Colly and keeping up on the training, today is the first day I've felt tired and not really wanting to get out of bed... but I will do it anyways.

Yesterday I ran a entire mile straight! I think that may be the first time I have ever done that in my life and I am real proud of myself. We ran/walked another mile (walk a lap, run a lap) and did various other exercises too.

I did my first side plank yesterday. If you don't know what that is, you're lucky, cause they are like torture. I couldn't hold the pose longer than 15 seconds and I trembled the whole time. Go ahead, you try it.

I really enjoy spending all this extra time with Colly, she's a great person. Colly has always been so much younger than me, and it's a different dynamic than with Min, but I love her just as much. It's just different.

My favorite part of the workouts are the cool down in the pool. For those of you who don't know, I am a water baby. I love the water. Nothing feels as good as deep water all around me, and pulling my body through it with my arms. I love the water. So we always hit the pool after our workouts, it feels good to use those sore muscles in a low impact way. I think it helps lessen the amount of pain due to lactic acid, too. Oh ya, don't forget the 10 minute soak in the hot tub to finish it all off. (awesome).

Today I hope to do some more sewing on Colly's scrubs, I haven't touched them since Sunday and I have new plans to put in pockets (front ones, like on an apron) with some of the leftover material. I'd better get these things done soon....
Since the last post about them I have added material to the bottom of two pairs of pants and are ready to attach the material to #3. I'll post pics later.

I'm supposed to be at the Y in 10 mins so I gotta go. Thanks for dropping by!

PS I finished Mom's curtains and hung them up for her a few days ago! Whoo-Hoo, one project down, one more to go!
