I just spent the last two hours reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Really kind of enjoying the book. I've got a thing for post-apocalyptic fiction. Around page 63, I took a break. Went to update my progress in my Goodreads app. For the same reason I add my strength workouts to my Strava manually. … Continue reading One Hour Rest Day

Claw Hands
Yesterday morning my co-worker walked into the office carrying a big bowl of cherries. And announced, to me, that she is allergic to cherries. And that she would then commence eating them. All of them. Because they are her favorite. She followed that announcement up with the declaration that she never eats them alone. I … Continue reading Claw Hands
We Do Work, Though
I keep looking down at my hands. Expecting to see blood. I have this former co-worker. Let's call her The Betrayer. That I hadn't really seen in a lot of years. Until I showed up to PlayFITStayFIT and there she was. And I thought we were cool, you know? Like maybe I knew I wasn't … Continue reading We Do Work, Though
Spartans Don’t Race Alone
This has been my view for the last 9 hours. It's 90 degrees out here. I want desperately to be on that mountain. Any mountain. Hell, I'd take a flat trail at this point. But these Spartan Kids Races, y'all. I was happy to see the same Spartan crew there as last year. Knucklehead: "I … Continue reading Spartans Don’t Race Alone
3:30 In The Actual Morning
I've gone to Tiny Brazilian's 5am HIIT Class twice this week. Which seems like a bad idea. On paper. Because I live almost an hour from PlayFITStayFIT, this means I have to wake up at 3:30. In the AM. 3:30 in the actual morning. I know. My people are known for waking up at dumbass … Continue reading 3:30 In The Actual Morning
Leg Day Lessons
I walked into that column today. No one was around to offer me help. Although, there are several classrooms with windows facing those columns. I suppose every single student and teacher was so enthralled with the educational process that my general well-being wasn't a concern. Two days ago I walked into a different column. That … Continue reading Leg Day Lessons
I’m Just Here For The Hot Tub
I can't fully extend my arms. I keep trying to. Like, I keep practicing straightening them and then holding them straight for as long as I can before I let them bend again. This isn't something that a healthy forty-something should have to practice. Straight arms should be a pretty basic move at my age. … Continue reading I’m Just Here For The Hot Tub
Who Thought 5am HIIT Was A Good Idea?
It's 7am and I'm just crawling back into bed with my coffee. Because it's Spring Break. I woke up at 3am. On Spring Break. So I could have coffee before I had to drive into Vinton and work out with the Tiny Brazilian. She's teaching this 5am Adult Boot Camp workout over at PlayFitStayFit now. … Continue reading Who Thought 5am HIIT Was A Good Idea?
