A different type of PT

STRENGTH: 1 hour!
BIKE COMMUTE 9.5 miles
More walking, but I'm not really going to count that

Wow, where to begin. At the top I guess. Today was my first (evah!) personal training session with JG. It was a mild, relatively simple, where-am-I-at, type of session to gauge weaknesses and pains. The focus was most all arms and shoulder. Lots of left arm weaknesses as expected, it's the reason I'm doing this! Not knowing what to expect going into this had me a little apprehensive but that's gone. I'm signed up for a month. Expensive, but that's why I'm not doing internet and cable and stuff like that. To pay for what I'd really rather be doing.

I almost didn't do the bike commute. Say what? It was 40F outside! My warm clothes were put away. Didn't feel like doing it. But I did feel like it, and did it, and have zero regrets. What a lazy way of thinking.

And the ride home will be nice, it's now just over 50F out there. Full sun. Not a cloud in the sky!

I had a long morning, kept waking up all night from discomfort and needing to pee. Back in my bad for the first time in since Monday since the doggie was OK on the steps. Bad dreams, that mild head cold messing up the back of my throat, and that even entered my dream! My alarm was for 5am but I needed more, sadly the dog didn't think so. Then instead of just an egg I wasted the time munching a little, then my stupid gut made we wait 30+ mins before it was "done". It was like this past NY revisited :(   This is becoming more frequent, not sure of the cause, but I really need to look into it.

I stopped at Walgreen's and walked the doggie at LP on the way home, went right up for a shower, ate a lame brekkie, delayed...didn't leave until 930! WHAT?! Granted I didn't get home until after 830, so a one hour turn around ain't that bad. But that can't keep happening.

The PT session perked me up, having worked muscles makes me mentally feel better and stronger. On the dog walk I was devising ways of incorporating the sessions into my workouts. Bike or run to my Monday evenings? It's only 5 miles round trip. If I do that, I don't run Tuesday morning but rather do a bike workout? Then what about Tuesday speedwork? Ha, life so complicated.
