January fitness challenge

[Globetrotter 1,340]

Arms day yesterday with the trainer - it was so .... cathartic that I actually welled up! Lifting releases all my toxins/emotions, anyone else experience that? We did this one, a bar with a rope attached to the center and a donut weight at the end of the rope. You hold your arms at a 90 deg angle, or straight down, or out, whtever works, and you slowly roll up the rope till the weight is at the bar. I did those overhand and then underhand, arms straight down, and my .... inability, my ... weakness, actually choked me up, wierd...

Ab day was three days ago and I sneezed this morning and it hurt like a mutha :/ So far, "up" 2 lbs ... When does the swelling go down?

I am up to: CF 3 sessions (really need to step this one up!)

Swimming: 7700 meters (almost halfway)

[McButterpants 2,846]

I've been sick the past two days, so no exercise...ugh.

It's finally nice enough to walk outside (it will be all the way up to 47 degrees today!). Going to do a couple of miles outside and see how I feel.

Month to date I've done 38 miles to my 85 mile goal.

Hey guys. Still running but I haven't swam laps in a week. Got my first trail race in Saturday...a half marathon. Tomorrow will be a planned off day as I have 6 hours to drive.

MTD.....66.4

Just checking in, still doing what I'm suppose to be doing, not slacking off, MTD- 68 miles. 5 yoga classes , 4 strength sessions , and 20 min/day either eliptical or recumbent, I find that I'm favoring the recumbent, probably because I can't seem to do the eliptical nearly as long as the bike. Should be able to make my goals by the end of the month, I'm already thinking about what I want to do next month.

CF session 4 tonight. Only 5,000 to go to goal. Or, what? 6-8? Yikes.

Will either swim or do CF partner work tomorrow. Depends on what my body tells me in the morning.

ETA: Oh no! I'm not too sore. But if I go it means I will be for the rest of the weekend. Decisions…I have one hour to decide now...

Still gonna lift but - my trainer, who I thought was also my buddy, threw a huge shocking tantrum via FB message the other night, ranting on, mentioning that what he has given me so far would have been $300 in the States but that he was doing it out of the "kindness of his heart". I was just mortified. It was his idea to train me, his idea to do it as often as we did, I was humiliated. So, now I will attempt to go it alone, and just hope that somebody is willing to spot me v_v...

That is crazy. I wish you didn't have so much drama in your life. Please be safe!

Dee, you are my hero, my c25k buddy!

I don't know if I would call it drama so much as clusterf**kery. v_v

Whatever you call it, you have been living it for what, 2 years now? When I first found VST I read a lot of old threads and I remember when your run of bad luck seemed to start, and it just doesn't seem to let up.
