BACK TO TRAINING

Gak!! glad V-day is over with... now I can get back to training. lol

Actually yesterday was very nice, we went out for a nice dinner and because I didn't have reservations the manager gave Joanne and I free wine and appetizers with our dinner......What?....Huh??

Well? I bought a gift card for Joanne for X-mas and was told by the restaurant employee that I didn't need reservations for dinner if and when we came in, ( I asked when I bought the gift card ) so when we got there I was asked if I had a reservation? I said WTF? ....I was told I didn't need a reservation when I bought the gift card!?!?

Well to make a long story short the manager apologized and found us a table and gave us the complimantry Wine and appetizers with our dinner. We wined and dined and had a good time, the food was great! I had the Chicken Oscar something with srimp and scallops in a cream sauce,( I think that's the oscar part?) with garlic mashed potatoe, Joanne had some Lemon pepper Haddock on spring leaf lettuse with garlic potatoes. The service was great, well worth going to, and surly we will be going back.


Ok now for training!

Update on my right calf tear and my left foot recovery..... both of my feet are having a battle, so I'm still walking around gingerly and like a penguin waddling. My right calf is still very tight and still a little swollen as well as my inside ankle. My left foot still hurts as I walk and stand for to long, still at about 80%

I did go to the gym yesterday, I did some weights and the elliptical again, I rode it for 2 miles keeping my HR at 160bpm with no stopping, and I felt good. I also tried the treamill and walked 1 mile at 3 mph, but holding the rail for support working my calf to get some strenght back in it, and I did stretch before and after.

This morning

I was rudely awaken early this morning by my wife. She got her car stuck at the end of our driveway,(yes it snowed again over night!) where the snow plow had plowed the road across our driveway, which was about 2 feet by 4 feet wide snow mound.

My wife thought she could drive over it, but she didn't make it. So she woke me up to get her un stuck. I shoveled out around the car and tires and tried to get it out, but the cars body was sitting on the mound. So I then shoveled out the mound in front of my car which is on the other side of the driveway where I park it and the plow plowed in. I then pulled my car out on to the street and backed into my wifes car to push her up the driveway to free her. I parked my car back in the driveway and shoveled the mound my wife car was stuck on out of the way so she could drive out and get to work.


I hate snow and snow plow's!!!...but mostly snow!!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY...WHY THE FUSS?

What's all the fuss about Valentine's Day? One day a year on Feb 14th you buy your lover or mate chocolates and flowers to show them you love them? I don't need to do that! I hate buying stuff like that just to show your lover or mate you apreciate them and love them, it's a waste of money. I do things all year long to show my wife I love her without spending money on usless things like "flowers" and "chocolates"!

I do all sorts of things for my wife all the time to show her how I appreciate her, so why on Valentines do I have to make a fuss?? Just last night I watched some TV with her, giving her a little bit of my time away from the computer? and I help her train and go biking with her all summer long after my rides to keep her company. She appreciates that! ...

"Time" ...Time is all she wants! not chocolates which make her fat! why give a burning flame more fuel to make it bigger if all you want is a nice little flame? so no "chocolates"! Or "flowers", all "flowers" do is die after a few day's and they smell up the house and make me suffed up! (alergies)

Ok..Ok...So I'm a romatic! so I did buy her "flowers" for today, what the heck! it gives her something to tell her co-workers at work how sweet I am. Ok, I also caved in and got her a little box of "chocolates", but a little one, so she doesn't pig out and get fat, and a funny card, plus we are going out for dinner to a nice restaurant tonight.

I'm only doing it so she doesn't feel left out of what society forces you to do!...." to buy something for your lover" for Valentine's Day!!

My Wife knows I love her, because every day with me is "Valentines Day" .... not to mention a Party! ...plus I'm still around aren't I??

I know it's not much, I did look at the roses for you but eek! ..it's the thought that counts right?

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY.............. I LOVE YOU JOANNE. : - )

I'm a computer genius!!

I took my computer apart, pulled out this that and the other thing, went to the computer store and asked if they had this part. cost me 11$, went home put the part in, hooked up the wires and voula!! computers fixed!!.... it's quiet as a whisper and running smoooooth!!

God I'm good!!...


Ok I'm feeling better then yesterday, <>..... I got some of my troubles resolved today after my swim, so I'm still on for Disney 70.3 and IMLP, and we don't have to sell the house yet! ;-) so I'm back to being positive, Ok? :-)

When will winter end!!! Grrrrrr....We got more snow over night, about 6inchs.

I had to shovel first thing this morning, I couldn't even drive my car out of my drive because the plow plowed my car in with snow up to the top of the hood of car!! I hate snow!! and I hate snow plows!!!....

After shoveling I went to the pool and swam 1500m, my arms were to tired to swim any more.

Slight setback plus swim

I can't stay positive anymore!! Without getting into details, I just can't do this anymore.

Poor me........

Snap out of it dummy!!! it's not all that bad?

Say's you?.....

Well I better post this before my computer crashes again. It's dieing and keep shuting down, then it takes about a 1/2 hour to get up and running again! if I could afford to fix it, I would, but in the mean time I'll post when I can.

Swam 3000m yesterday and 1500m today. My leg is coming along slowly but that's expected, doing physio and triing to work it a little.


Have a good day.

Weekend workout

Yesterday I did some weight work and tried the Eliptical thingy and managed to do 2miles without much trouble to my calf, although it did feel ackward. I'm a little stiff from not using my legs in almost 2 weeks, but now knowing I can do some run training on the eliptical eases my mind. I'll try it again tomorrow after my swim. Today I put in another 2000m swim.
