Our Fernie pool is closed for a month (just as I land - boo!) - Surveyor's Lake (aka turtle lake!) is plenty warm enough to swim in already but a pool would be a nice alternative too :)<br /><br />Just got back from camping - fab trip - did a lovely ride out - one we might do together perhaps?? :)<br /><br />Will give you a shout later to sort out getting together, when I'm a little more with it than Monday morning!<br /><br />xxxxCathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07724813805713962903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021154093098498497.post-37000884853818304912009-06-04T22:12:27.891-06:002009-06-04T22:12:27.891-06:00Hopefully Big Blue is feeling a little bit less le...Hopefully Big Blue is feeling a little bit less left out now!<br /><br />Are you still planning on Highwood on Saturday?

Hunker ...Amber -- Here is how you do the exercise:<br /><br />Hunker down on all fours in front of the ball. Place one hand straight out and on the ball. Roll forward so your elbows cocks up and hurts like hell and you think to yourself, "THIS is how swimming supposed to feel!"<br /><br />Do this over and over again until your arm falls off, at which time you'll know it's time to switch arms.<br /><br />:) :) :) :)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05255136788289244187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021154093098498497.post-4737736406186648052009-06-04T00:49:19.176-06:002009-06-04T00:49:19.176-06:00I don't think I have ever laughed this hard re...I don't think I have ever laughed this hard reading a blog in my life!

The best comparison I can give you is honey, except that it is low glycemic so our bodies convert it to blood glucose slower!<br /><br />If you can't find kamut flakes, just use oatmeal instead.

I kept thinking of your kick ass bike time and tried to channel you out there! <br />What are the exercises you are doing? If you are allowed to share I'd love to know. Ever since I read about your swim analysis and droopy elbows I've been thinking a lot about my elbows when I swim! <br />Thanks for the motivation, and the belly laugh!!Amber Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02495066839937055346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021154093098498497.post-10692112099894179512009-06-03T16:14:39.140-06:002009-06-03T16:14:39.140-06:00I was hoping to see big blue ball with a cup of jo...I was hoping to see big blue ball with a cup of joe!!

You put a hat on him (her?) for the couch. <br /><br />I've had a very similar experience at work. My co-worker wants to sit on a ball instead of a chair and she has gone through 4 different ones and all of the pumps are the same. We crack up all the time so this posting is perfect timing.<br /><br />So, so funny Julie.

I can just see one of your cats trying to jump on top of it, and that would be all she wrote.<br /><br />The outdoor swimming, even if it's in a pool, will get you mentally prepped to be outside, getting wet, really early.<br /><br />One day your bike's name will come.
