Revival

Okay, it has been a while since I posted anything. Simply because it has been a long time since I trained. Last night was my first foray back to the gym for a week. I went to Core Class feeling weak and of course he kicked our butts with added weight challenges. I was able to do the extra lifting (for the most part) and feel pretty good today. Tomorrow might be another story.

I have been longing to get on the bike but with all the company it was not an option. Dr.T kicked a** on our landscape project -- a tireless worker. It was fun to get so much family time in though. I learned that my sister used to be a very diligent rider in her day putting on mile after mile. I also learned my mom had a pet goat (no, not me).

As for pets, Spin might be missed again Saturday as we head out to possibly adopt a new "sister" for Emily. We are hopeful that this trip yields results -- my brown girl is blue.

My focus now is Mountain Mama in August and getting over the terrain and raising funds for LLRoF. I feel I have to work on my legs and my mind to better deal with the suffering and pain without giving myself a mental "out" of any sort. I hope to do some lifting to accomplish that. Thinking of the tremendous effort of Jill's Ididarod in an inspiration.
