Fuck 'em still. They don't know.

COMMUTE 2 miles
SWIM?

Thinking on a swim later today! Was gonna go this morning, but had my Equinox butterfly and three more chrysalides to keep an eye on. When I left for work, I was still waiting for anything to happen. Hopefully when I get home all will be well, and my babies will be happily fluttering about and feeding for their trip to the winterlands.

Yes, thinking on swimming. I have the training plan book for swimmers. The "general fitness plan" is about 12 weeks and too vague for me. The 15-week Sprint distance plan has 2-3 swims a week and might be too 'speedy-focused' for my level but the distances and schedule are a good place to start.

And speaking of places to start, just get to the fucking pool!

Before leaving work yesterday I mapped out my Pathology Progress Return to Running plan, assuming a start in first week of November. If I start then, I can do a comfortable ramp in to 2010 Hennepin 100. This means I have to dedicate from now until them -- keep moving but let bone heal, get strong, and be patient.

Yesterday's unfavorable interaction with the orthopedics dr still bothers me. On yesterday's evening walk with the doggie I realized what I said that tipped her into thinking this was a pathology -- that I did the Monday morning bike ride knowing it wasn't good for me. Was that it? This kinda bothers me - that she'd think my hobby and favorite thing to do is a pathology that needs treatment.  I have almost 10 years of blog posts here, were she to read it would she see problems and still think the same?

I love to challenge myself. I'm good at endurance sports. It's my vacation to go to a race. It wakes me up, it puts me to sleep, it encourages good eating and mindful body care. How is that a pathology?

How is that wrong?
