Can't say enough about the lovely spring day.

However, one sign of spring is the presence of those black birds with the red on their wings. I see them all over the place, particularly down by the pedestrian bridge on the river. Their babies will start hatching soon and they'll start attacking me. I'm pretty sure it's just me. I wish I could somehow perfect a smooth way to react to them but I end up freaking out and doing Elaine from Seinfeld's "little kicks" while I swat at them.
  • getfuzzy getfuzzy Ah, yes, the redwing blackbird. A bossy sort, likes to bully. Hmmm.... what to do, what to do..... :(

Took me FOREVER to get in the pool. Just blah today with a capital B. Routine swim. 8 500s. 2 of them being kick. 2 being pull. Water felt nice on my tired legs.

Felt so guilty being so gloomy when I walked outside to the beautiful day. Sure wish I could enjoy it. I think I'll have to take several "wellness" breaks outside today.

Have a great Tuesday.

worked first, then went looking for Orioles. Only found the first goose family of the year. Cute goslings... too bad they grow up to be such foul fowl. :)

Then did the core/ab/strength workout but was kind of lazy... didn't do all the sets.

I need to find a goal. I've been motivated to stay healthy for running. Not sure that'll keep propelling me to train hard. Did 30 minutes cycling w/u, 60 minutes of brutal lifting (all legs), 47 minutes of cycling c/d + stretching + PT routine. Watched Game of Thrones during the second cycling set. Awesome episode. As a reader of the books, I'm conflicted about continuing to watch the series. I feel the writers have taken the story in their own direction so I'm still excited to read the books whenever they come out. Good stuff.

Happy Tuesday!
  • carljsamuelson carljsamuelson I hear that the books take just shy of F O R E V E R to come out; yeah?

    • posted at 02:08:00 EDT
  • powerfade powerfade Agreed on GOT, Mox. I have the new season recorded, but haven't started watching. Books are always better than the show/movie, but I'm afraid about getting ahead of the books. And what happens if JRRM dies before finishing the books?
