As I spend more time running, biking, and lifting weights, I can\’t help but think about how much more enjoyable it would be if I could be SWIMMING! Before, I found the land sports to be much more of a side thing to my swimming. But now that I can\’t swim, I\’m starting to get […]

It has now been 764 days since I was last able to swim. At least, it feels like it\’s been that long! Of all the things I miss the most since this whole coronavirus thing started, it\’s being able to get to the pool and get my laps in. This is the second longest period
I can safely say the thing I was dreading the most about coming back from Florida was coming back to the cold. I jokingly told a few people I would try to bring the warmth back with me when I returned, and to my pleasant surprise, I kind of did! It\’s been above freezing all
I\’m going to rant a little bit this week, because I think it is something that needs to be said. I\’ve talked about the importance of exercising and eating right on my blog before, and those that follow my dad\’s blog know that\’s a large topic for him as well. One thing we have both

Wednesday was National Running Day, but since my foot has shown little improvement over the last several weeks, I was not able to celebrate. Instead, I kicked off my summer swimming schedule this week! It has been nearly a month since the last time I\’ve swam, and it felt absolutely wonderful to get back out
