Slogged on over to the fit center

this morning, feeling the

freezing morning air.

Autopiloted the machine

and began to jog.

Stiff legs turn to fluid after

a mile or so.

Hung in and hung on

for the ride, felt better the

longer I held to the pace

just under 10 minute miles...

Managed to spin for some 32 minutes

and 10 miles after the run.

Tired, drenched, cold

hit the shower, got dressed

headed up and out

Comeback Day 3

Cold is what it is.

It is the day after Thanksgiving, all is well enough with the world here.

Some people will have stuffed themselves yesterday with;

 turkey, potatoes, stuffing, pies, cakes, snacks,

drinks and who all knows just what.  

I used to do that myself

I know that overstuffed feeling.

It's no fun as I recall.

Some people having overindulged will then

begin a diet and exercise program the day after

the Thanksgiving feast in an effort to get

"in shape"

for the Christmas Holiday Season.

Well it's just a month now to Xmas Day,

I am 3 days into the Comeback...

going strong, not for the Holidays

but for life now, and beyond.

I hope your on a life plan to health

It's OK

Sometimes this is the way I feel.

and that's OK.

It just is.

Sometimes.

Accepting how you feel, who you are, the way

you appear, it's not fun and exciting.

Slogging through yet another day

when you feel this way

is tough.

It's mentally exhausting.

I have been working

on myself for awhile now to

get myself to accept it when I feel tired

or unmotivated and just want to take

a day off from the daily workout.

I am getting better I tell myself.

When you feel like hell.

Maybe go slow or rest up.

I try.

Don't always succeed but maybe

I am making progress.

So, yesteday...Tuesday I rested with

no workout.  A big ohfer day.

Wednesday however is today:

Decided to lumber over to the fit center

at 0445...

Managed a decent workout;

Didn't plan it

Taking Action

Yesterday I took a day off from working out.  I rarely do so.  When I do often feel guilty about it and generally feel out of sorts for a day or more.  This is true again.  I did get back on the beam this morning, though I am feeling out of sorts still...all I can do is what I can do, taking action one day at a time...

Today's Workout:

Bike:  31 minutes/10 miles/stationary.

Run:  39 minutes/4 miles/treadmill.

Short routine, good energy, well rested?

Coming back is a challenge...

Enjoy it all. 

CHAMPIONS

The 2010 World Series Champions

Your San Francisco Giants ! 

The Giants beat the Rangers last night 3-1 to win the World Series.

First time for the City of San Francisco. 

I have been a Giants fan since I was a kid and first

began to follow the team, listening to Russ and Lon

on KSFO, trading baseball cards and trying to get

autographs at Candlestick Park.

The first job I ever applied for and didn't get

was to be a bat boy for the Giants!

89 and 02 teams made it to the Series

but they could not close.

 Brian Wilson closed this one,

helluva job and great team

Lincecum, Cain, Huff, Posey

and all the rest!

My Team

The Giants World Champs!  
Enjoy it all... 

4-0

World Series Game 4, Giants win 4-0, taking a 3-1 Series lead.  San Francisco could wrap up the World Series Championship with a victory tonight!  If not, the team travels home to play on Wednesday in the City by the Bay.  GO GIANTS !
