Thank you to my niece Joele for making it happen! Centennial will have 50 m lanes Saturday mornings! Did a double workout this morning: It felt great being back in the pool this morning after I lifted weights before it. I only fell asleep a few times at my computer. Always a win.

How are the summer sessions going? Me: hate it. In the real meaning of the word hate.

Do you lift leg days the day before or after you run? I had a thorough leg workout yesterday and my legs were dead today. Somehow this AM’s 10km timing was not affected.

All eyes on this Friday night’s Wellen Park 5 km.

4 days without any exercise…not a good feeling. Today’s 10 km hit me with a 5 AM wall of humidity. Back still sore in that 1 spot and not looking like it’s going to go away any time soon…add it to my list of ortho issues.

The countdown begins: 11 more swims until 7/4!!!

Am I now officially an exercise addiction? I’m on Day 2 of 0 exercise due to back injury…and yes…I am very close to freaking out. All my mind is thinking about are lost swim sessions and shrinking arms!

It is remarkable to think this was normal before…days of inactivity. Very grateful I am now in a position where I can regularly exercise.

I woke up today in writhing lower left back pain. I’m pretty upset as today is a swim day. No gym either. The struggle is real. Being smart about it so hopefully I only miss today’s swim.

Exactly my problem. Or worse…I’ll mow my yard after as my cool down.

Disaster strikes! Centennial Pool no longer offering 50 m lanes…avert your eyes: FUUUCCCKKK….what the hell am I going to do now? Training for a 1.5 mile Freedom swim in 25 yd lanes is like running in your driveway to get ready for a 10 km. I’m not quite at panic mode….but almost.

By the way: yesterday AM’s humidity was the worst of the year for me.

Are we really the hottest city in Florida? This is news to me. Why did I move here? Oh, that’s right, to build up mental...

Are we really the hottest city in Florida? This is news to me. Why did I move here? Oh, that’s right, to build up mental running fortitude. Silly me. Oh my God, this summer is gonna be the hardest one ever. We have to stay strong people. We can do this.

I survived yesterday‘s double AM workout. I only dozed off one time at work. Had a great sleep last night because of it. Returning to my usual a.m./ p.m. double workout routine today. This a.m.’s 10km nothing spectacular, same sweat rate even without the sun. We’re hitting that time of the year where it is a real struggle to get our bodies used to that terrible humidity. Would love to hear any of your secrets or tips you have to keep you motivated during these next few months. Thinking about fall and winter runs can only take me so far before I get negative and want to sleep in.
