A Weak-ly Blog

Or at least I have only recently been inspired once a week. I'm sure things will pick up. But for now my posts are kind of like Maureen Dowd's..... one theme, and a boring one at that.

I've just sent in Gina's diatribe to the NY Times, asking if they want her to write the column cuz we all know the formula now. Trash Hillary and don't even bother being clever about it anymore. Sheesh..

So, off that political talk because it annoys me and onto this week's workouts. Which slightly annoyed me because my funky knee. It seemed like it had calmed down and was ready to go, so I went. But it's still a bit weird so I am erring on the side of caution. Lots of ice, a couple free PT clinics to help allay my fears that I've torn meniscus or something (weird word - meniscus).

I did swim 3 times and had great lane luck each time. The secret pool gave us a lane each, and then on Tues. I went to Green Lake pool, which had been shut for a few days maintenance. Thank allah Gina didn't go that day as the water was downright chilly. My second polar bear swim of the year. No wonder no one was there.

I went again on Sat. (cuz I didn't run) and my lane was fine. But I was glad no Fast lane folks showed up. Cuz the people who were in that lane would have been eaten alive. One dude was doing a floundering backstroke, and you know he didn't belong in the fast lane cuz he was not wearing a speedo. If the big guy who usually owns that lane had been there, well, lane rage might have made the nightly news.

OK, here are the #'s you are looking for. Me, I must go see who is wearing what on the red carpet.
