Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() It's 85 here in Cleveland. I LOVE it. It gets rough when it hits 95+ because we don't have air conditioning (we don't live in the modern world ![]() |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I was reminded last night how awfull of a swimmer I am. First swim since September and post shoulder surgery. Shoulder felt ok. Not great but not painful. Only did 50's as I was really trying to get my breathing back. Damn breathing in the poolIs never fun. Got in roughly 1000 yards but with breaks, not all at once. It's nice to get some purple back in the training log. Iced shoulder last night so it's not too bad this morning. Have a great day |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Morning, peeps! 2600m swim band workout this a.m. Strength training later. Abs are sore from the swim band!!! I'll have to order my copy of Chrissie's book today. Any book recommendations for bike maintenance, handling skills, training, etc.? I feel like i need to learn more about the bike, particularly when it comes to maintenance. Thanks! |

You would die without A/C!It doesn't compute with me either. LOL I sleep with a box fan 2 feet from my side the bed. Apparently my husband likes to marinate in his sweat. Gross. He grew up this way; I did not. Requirement for the new house is AC. I won't even consider a house without it. Only positive is that my kids and I are at the pool for 90% of the summer, so the temp of the house doesn't matter during the day.....but the nights....the nights are hell. |

I wouldn't swim on back to back days if I were you (if I remember correctly your pool hours wouldn't allow for that anyway). The ice was a good idea, too. Welcome back to the pool, Jeff!! |

Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Jeff the pool gets better or you become numb to the suck, I can't tell what's happening with me. LOL.
Got to lift weights this morning. First time in a while. I have an hour plus on the trainer later. My parents are also coming to town today. Dad has business in San Antonio so they're staying the weekend and then he's leaving Mom here for the days he has business and will swing back through on the way home to FL. |

That is an amazing story. That family will be forever grateful for you and kudos to you for pushing for CPR to be a requirement. I am not sure how I would have reacted in that situation. I don't know if I could think straight. Simply amazing. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Guys thanks for the comments!! I have been trained in CPR since I was 16 years old and now I am a instructor never thought I would have to use it. But when I did the trigger flipped and I did the job.Our hope is that is we make CPR traininfg and graduation requirement more lives will be saved!! |
