Snow, Ninja Ice and Suffering



Okay so I got the snow I asked for in my last post. It just wasn't enough. I know I'm never happy.


I don't think I am going to get the snow I want though, I'm looking for something like this:


But I live on the Jersey Shore, which is more like this:


Not too bad right? Anyway, it has been an easy week. A little running, a little indoor on the bike and a little bit of gym love. I'm trying to take it easy before things start to get crazy, but that just leads to me being lazy. At least I wear my Newtons when I'm being lazy, so I look as though I was active or intend to be, at any moment, active again.

 

Wednesday night brought a killer spin work out put together by Alison who has suddenly become our evil spin coach who delights in our suffering. It was pandemonium in the beginning but we all got pretty quiet by the end, the suffering was in full effect after 80 minutes.


Yesterday I made my own pain cave in the living room since it was 10 degrees outside and we were pretty positive that the Mountain Bike trails would be sheets of evil death ice. I was safe from the evil death ice in my living room, but not from the annoyed stares of a pit bull.
 
 
As you can tell by the picture the monster hates when I do this in her domain. She isn't a fan of things that make noise or anything that causes me to not pay attention to her. While I'm riding she makes sure to get every single toy out of her basket and spread them evenly throughout the room. She doesn't play with them, only distributes then takes a nap comforted by the fact that I will have to pick them all up after I'm done ignoring her. After suffering for an hour I threw together an awesome protein shake, picked up the dog toys and got on with the day.
 
 
So that is the update. I have been burning my brain out on the book which leaves very little fire for the blog updates, hence all the pictures and little words. But I'm still moving and I'm not entirely lazy with everyday, February is right around the corner, and Monday morning there will be more swimming and watching out for pool sharks.

Tonight I will also be suffering through a freezing cold run with Rich and mega ultra death ice will be plenty I'm sure. The ice is even worse when it's night and you can't see it. We are so smart running at night so that the ice has the advantage, I know.

  2. Watch out for that death ice! No use busting yourself over it! What are all those things laid out on your counter?

    1. It's natural whey protein no flavor, skim milk, vit c powder, creatine and well the fruit you know! I have battled Lyme Disease on and off for years and someone recommended the Vit C and Creatine to help with it, so I tend to add that to my protein shakes whenever possible. I used to take it everyday, need to start that back up again.

    2. Fuel is so important, so I am always interested in what people use.

  3. David's 19 year old patient was drinking 3 protein shakes a day. He had a heart attack. Dr. made him stop drinking protein shakes. Something to do with body can't get rid of all that calcium. Any thoughts?

    1. Too much of anything can be bad for you. Everything in moderation. Three shakes a day is a lot depending on what's in it.
