Violent Femmes. Sometimes my phone and the music on it plays at exactly the right time.
I've not written in a bit. Makes for a dull blog. Just haven't had much to say I suppose. Or time.
I've been working out. I swam this week and felt pretty good in the water, nailed my flip turns. I think it's CrossFit burpies...that jumping down tuck, jumping back, jumping up move is a little like doing a flip turn. Sorta. I do feel a little more power off the wall. My stroke feels a little 'musclely' though, as if I've been doing pull-ups and push-ups lately.
I ran this week, in the rain. Started out just a nice sprinkle, but then as I finally got into motion it turned torrential on me. Of course I was wearing my only nice pair of running shoes which I intended to wear this Saturday at the Indy Mini. They're still soaked. I may run in my semi-running, semi CrossFit shoes, Brooks Pure Connects. I haven't really trained a wink so what does it matter? Might as well blow my feet out in style.
Running in a warm rain is life affirming in some way. Cleansing. You run faster. It seems easier and more exciting. Jumping over puddles, or splashing through them, standing at intersections looking like a wet noodle as the vehicular passers by look on. I had a good CrossFit workout last night, finished with the most reps in the allocated time - we had to do 200 meter sprints carrying a 20lb medicine ball over head. Then a series of wall ball shots, dumb bell push presses and dips. It was a burner. Entirely burned out my quads the Wednesday prior to a Saturday half marathon? Who knows - maybe CrossFit will improve my running? I doubt it - my cardiovascular engine has been running at idle for so long its forgotten how to process oxygen. Nonetheless, running the Indy Mini is kind of fun. This is likely my 8th running of that event. I hate running.
Its a beautiful day. The earth is back - all full bloom. Warm. May 3rd of 2012. It really has been a long time of this.
