Baby Steps

Happy Sunday everyone!  I can't believe it's the middle of March already...bring on spring!!!

Friday night I went shopping!  Is it wrong that I'm as excited for this purchase as some people are for a new car?  Athletes (and yes...I'm calling myself that) really get excited about things that are different than others.  Meet my newest toy.....
 
 
 
Saturday was a group run in the morning, followed by mom coming in to visit.  She was here to listen to my Sole Sisters presentation...she said I did well once I got in my groove....that's a pass coming from my mom....LOL.  Maybe presenting is like running, it takes the first 5 minutes (or kilometer) to find your groove and feel comfortable!!!
She listened to my presentation as well.
She is just a little teddy bear.
Today I was up early and headed to the pool.  I had missed my Wednesday night swim due to a leg massage (which I'm still feeling BTW).    Today was the first day that I swam with my head in the water for my front crawl.  I have an inner ear symptom that causes me to become extremely dizzy when I lay on my right side.  Because I turn my head to the left (right ear in the water) when swimming, I was really weary to try my head in...today I took the chance.  Slowly, very slowly I started the swim.  It felt good...and so far I have no dizziness...so that is a win.  Baby steps, right???

Goggle lines ...guess I have to get used to these
 Friday night, when I shopping, I also walked away with one of these.  Ali from Hit the Ground Running has something similar and convinced me I needed one.  Boy....was she right!!!

Everyone should have one of these!
This puppy is so much better than my usual rolling pin method and not so expensive coming in at $19.99.  Those individual spikey things hit every little muscle you can think of!

Today is a Shamrock 5k group run...Indy did okay last time so I think I'll take him again.  I mean...who can resist this face?
I hope you guys have a fantastic day and upcoming week.  Remember to not only push the limits but push through your limits and experience something new!!

Thanks for stopping by and saying Hi!!!

    Nice bike! I love my roller and other toys! Recently I have been using one with a rudder thingy at the gym. I think it's called rumble roller. Anyway it really gets into the muscles.

    You are awesome for focusing on doing a Tri. Seriously, so cool.

    I'm glad you love your stick!!! I used to use a rolling pin too, but it's amazing how good the real thing feels!
