Great to be back!

There are some days when the training is tough - others, when the motivation to train is actually the limiting factor.

Today was one of the latter - we had the day off from work [WHOO HOO] and I spent a couple of hours curled on the sofa in the sun room, basking in the beautiful day (although it was cold outside). The kitty cats, Bimmer & Rupert, were sunning on the window ledge and the back of the sofa. It was just so luxurious!

But I kicked my butt up and drove to the pool. Even as I got into the water, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to swim - the last couple of workouts have been a bit of a slog and not b/c they are difficult, but b/c I've been feeling lazy.

Right away I could feel the benefits of the hard weight/Total Conditioning workouts! My form felt great and even though I was slower & didn't complete the full set of 200's, I DID IT!

Wonder what the new music 'anthem' should be? U2's 'Beautiful Day' is a bit too obvious... INXS 'Beautiful Girl' a bit too OTT for me although the tune itself is great.

Stay tuned ... as you know I will think of something! : )

Happy Training & Ciao!
