    August Rotation 08/25/05

    I start week 4 today. Will swim at lunch, and then this afternoon will be 3 mile run, MM and PLB ball. I find running in the afternoon is better for my achilles, it is awake then. Almost there!

    What come's first--your workout--or the demands of life...

    It is a balance. I plan my work-outs at a time when there is a least likely chance of interuption. Phones, that is what an answering machine is for! Getting up early does not interupt anyone's schedule, working out when DD is at swim practice, gives me something to do. Swimming at lunch and...

    For those of you doing the August rotation...

    I start week 4 tomorrow. I added an extra day of rest each week, which helps with the tiredness, and soreness. I actually think it is easier than it looks, and although it looks like it is all out, none stop wicked, there are easy days and hard days. Weight wise I am down 2.5 so far, which I...

    TV Series "Starved" - Take action now.

    RE: TV Series I actually found it humorous too, although a bit gross. I won't seek it out to watch, but I happened to see it when it came on.

    Tubal Ligation

    It has been 9 years, so my memory is faded. :) I remember going in around 8, and was home in the afternoon some time. I told them I get sick with anestisia, so they were very careful with this, and there was no problems there. I had a c-section with my first child, so they used that scar...

    Moms with daughters....kind of personal...and long!

    My daughter turned 12 in April, and her period started in June. She is handling it really well, I think in part because most of her friends have already started, and in part because we have talked about this before and been very casual. The hard part is, she is a swimmer, and she has not been...

    I think Step Blast would be a good substitution, about the right length and intensity.
