Day 607 - Fun in the sun

So I went swimming yesterday in the hot hot sun, and I worried about was that I was going to get burned.  I have a tan right now, but I remember when I was a kid there was this woman who I babysat for who was always sunbathing and she had the dryest looking skin and all I could think about was I didn't want to end up like her.  But I always forget to put on sunscreen, and I am not real sure there is any thing that really is water proof.  Plus I hate getting into filmy water.  And if everyone who sunscreen then their would be this fine film over the water.  Yuck.

But other than that swimming did not go so well.  I feel like I am doing ground hogs day.  I get in the water with the best intentions, and I end up getting out with being tired but not like I did a really hard work out.  When I try to do it my mind just shuts down and I crash.  Oh well.

So because I didn't get out to bike last week, I decided that I would do the exercise bike.  I am really strong and I can go hard and long.  Hah!!!  I put it were I used to train when I was going to ride down the coast and I ended up quitting a third of the way through.  I think I even hurt my leg.  So I am not as strong as I thought I was, I have to start at the beginning.  Yuck again.

  1. I don't understand your last paragraph. Do you mean that you quit a third of the way through the exercise? You certainly were strong as blazes on the Bellingham to SF ride & at least survived when poor D fell & broke his elbow/arm. 500+ miles of pedaling!

    As a frequent reminder, 950 calories doesn't leave much energy for anything. You need more product or a bar or ???

    We'll be glad when Ronni is done with refinishing our floors & we get our eliptical back.
