i miss that.
up for over an hour in the middle of the night. thunderstorms were directly overhead.
i couldn't be a foster....
it's hard give up a dog.
i cried like a b!tch when my brother and i had to find a home for our coonhound when we moved to colorado the first time.
porch sitting weather.
Fvck night shift. Getting up at noon, let the Water Heater Extravaganza begin!
Dog enters this house, it leaves in a box.
I know what you mean. As is I'm thinking it'll give me a good chance to test drive having a second before committing. But I guess I weigh the thought of the dogs being put down or a little emotional toll on myself. It's tough either way.
at 2am?
insomnia is my enemy....
Got my swim in this morning using the instruction from my coach. Much more efficient. Counting strokes per 50 yards I dropped from 19 down to 15, and it was much less frantic. A bit winding, but I will get used to the change in breathing cadence. Dropped a few seconds off my 500 yard and that includes taking more breaks to breath.
40 minute run this evening. Shooting for 4.25 miles, which is a 9:25 per mile pace.

mine too, thankfully we're not well acquainted. i was awake because of the storm.
i remember i was goofing around at swim practice in HS once and my coach got pissed. as punishment, he made me swim the 500 in the next meet.
are you counting your strokes per breath too?
Yep. 3 per breath. I started as an open water swimmer (surfing and lakes), so every and every other are very foreign to me.
shoot for a breath every 5 to 6 strokes.
i used to be able to swim the 100 free without breathing at all.
Yeah, working on the whole breathing thing. Hypoxia is not my friend. Plus, I'm in base building right now. Working off ~70% heart rate while I build my fitness.
yea, it just takes time. you'll get there.
Morning! Three day weekend ahead. Need to get the old DH bike ready to ride for tomorrow. No where spectacular, just the local hill (7 springs).
Awesome ride last night followed by dinner with the lady. Today is my Friday. 80 and sunny all day tomorrow, friend and I are going to play 18 in the morning then ride the rest of the day. I like it.
where do you live? i grew up in the 412
springs was my local mountain in the wintertime
I grew up in Pittsburgh (Hazelwood to be exact), finally settled and bought a house in the Uniontown area.
Make sure you can breathe from each side. Nothing like watching other Tri geeks flounder on the swim because they could only breathe on the side that the wind chop was coming from. I got really good at bilateral breathing and keeping a good arm turnover. 20 min swim miles were my friend.
Like I said earlier, I'm an open water swimmer. I can breathe both ways.
All this swimming talk.......room starting to spin real fast.........from the......gayness....
Morning. Craziness in the office continues, but a radical resolution might be coming soon. I had a tuff ride last night, total exhaustion at the end. Forgetting to refill a camelback in almost 90F / near 100% humidity before a ride sucks. I gotta take it easy today.
last night we packed up for a weekend camping trip. set up the new tent and air mattress in my living room. loaded up all the flashlights with batteries. already tried out the zip-together sleeping bags. tonight we test the camp stove. boom!
i grew up near white oak. went to mckeesport high school
Haha, I wrecked my dodge ram in White Oak. After that I switched from trucks to subarus. You live on the wrong end of the state now-a-days, huh?i grew up near white oak. went to mckeesport high school
eh. i like both cities the same. job market for what i do is basically non-existent in pittsburgh.
still a stillers fan tho.
Oil change on a fork last night. Managed to over fill it and had my first run in with the dreaded "hydro-lock"
lol he goes both ways
