Good Stuff

#fitover50

41 degrees this morning - brrrrrrr. Chilly outside, but the pool was the perfect temperature for a swim. Took about 200 or so to warm up which means it's chilly when you first jump in. That was near perfect. Had the pool to myself. Me, my music, my hydration beverage and my coffee, my gear and my watch. An hour in the gym before I stepped outside to get in the pool. Big things planned for 2025 - lots of time in the gym ahead as well as some time in the pool, running as well as on my bike. Loving every minute of it! #2025 #2025goals #doepicshit #fitover50 #moveyourbody #noregrets #noexcuses

Frankenleg is healing! August 18, 2023 was when I had my ACL surgery. This morning, just over a year later, I was cleared to do continue biking, swimming and running (with my leg brace) - but also told I could do lateral movement sports… also with my brace. You’ll see a slight bend in my right knee because I still have some hamstring tightness. We be working on that! I’m thrilled. Big things planned! . . . #acl #aclsurgeryrecovery #aclrecoveryclub #aclrecovery #austin #atx #aclrehab

Had a lovely lunch at Tillie’s. Fed myself, then fed the alpacas. Lovely!

Morning snuggles with Nyny. Will never know who rescued who. But does it really matter? . . . #adoptdontshop #austinpetsalivealumni #austinpetsalive #austintx #austin #atx #bluestaffy #bluestaffylove #rescuedog #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuedogsoftexas

Brilliant afternoon with @paulinaporizkov - beautiful women, tremendous transparency and vulnerability. And humor… lots and lots of humor. . . . #HappyWomenDinners #NoFilterTheGoodTheBadandTheBeautiful #austin #atx #austintexas #austintx

Day 43 - Did a thing… got back in the pool for the first time. 1750 yards of pulling in just over 38 minutes. Not speedy by any stretch. But I haven’t been in the pool in almost 8 weeks. Was a very satisfying first foray back into the water. A week or two of this and my stroke is going to be either well refined… or a mess. . . . #roadtorecovery #aclgraft #swimming #triathlontraining #outside #austintexas #austintx #atx #comingback

Day 26 - Walking with leg brace unlocked full weight bearing on right leg, but also with a single crutch. Range of motion improving daily. Strength improving daily. I will be in my pool this weekend. Absolutely, no question. And… pedicure still holding up. Probably time for a refresh. . . . #aclrecovery #aclrecoveryclub #aclgraft #roadtorecovery
