Training Log Archive: Yukon King

RoM, remedial strength, some yoga moves, felt good. leftover tofu for lunch, wow was that good!

big ol' afternoon walk cool & grey, plus skytrain to new west for a fun date-night. Iced my feet...

still grey, heavy, overcast. looking forward to this weekend so much. no idea what's for dinner. Maybe I'll soak some chickpeas...

over to the park, saw shane, ate alotta blackberries, played w/ black lab puppy named Ali, dragged ourselves home. homemade WW pasta w artichoke heart etc yumminess on it. Nice wax beans sesame oil & soy sauce, also very nice cuz beans were so fresh & crunchy. played free rice spanish version up to 1040...gonna do two more shots of humira.

did everything today to make up for yesterday - marching up & down Kingsway for groceries, blood tests, med.s, teeth cleaned (oooh I got the prettiest whitest teeth EVER! I love my teeth!) Barn brought over some "pill pockets" from the vet for G's pills and she cannot resist them.
Walk was cold and dark, goodbye summer... still nice tho, around the top of the map. Went out for dinner to genji's for rather nice japanese food, brought home teriyaki tofu for my lunch tomorrow.

almost done Gord's taxes...gotta p/u meds, call dr, do blood tests, grit mah teeth n get it done, takes work to be a medical miracle, yep.
noticed some tofu in fridge, whoops, gonna eat that up tonight...hoisin-ish I am thinking.

down thru the woods and back up, saw the tiniest mouse ever, I think it was a baby, clumsy & slow, G was so puzzled by its incompetence she didnt chomp it - it sat by a tree root & breathed & blinked & twitched its tiny tiny ear. After a while we went away so it wouldnt get a heart attack from smelling Gypsy for so long, but I wanted to watch it forever.
relaxed & didnt get squat done today just as a sort of contrast. Ha!

walked off the map again today - around the Hydro maintenance building, just to entertain g-dog - it was hot for her tho so she was a bit cranky on the way home. She was so cute this morning - gave her a toy to tear apart (little cardboard box w a snack inside) which she did but she wasnt hungry so she wanted to bury the snack in her bed, which I helped her with, she poking it w her nose & trying to toss the pillow & stuff around. Then she lies down for about 5 minutes.... & then rushes back & unburies the snack & crunches it up - just like a little kid playing marooned & "rationing the supplies"....
greek-ish lamb balls (pinenuts, mint, breadcrumbs) & couscous (almonds & raisins), did one of those banana chocolate bread puddings w 3/4 of a bar of Green & Black milk chocolate in it, yum, kinda hot for such rich food which annoys me aesthetically but hey, if you're gonna be a Really Fine Cook you hafta remember to check the forecast, duuuh!!

YDY...

we've been having some fairly regular dog-whuppin' sessions after dinner, she loves it so much!

kinda cranky & restless this morning. gotta put nose to grindstone & just start getting stuff done...call doctors, gord's taxes, swimming, banking downtown, salmon w/ horseradish breadcrumbs w the last corn on the cob of the season, afternoon dogwalk...it'll be fine!

C • you have more hours than me... 5

RoM before swimming.

pushed it a bit, I still got more than enuf muscle & cardio to mess up my joints. just seeing how much I can get away with.

nice walk down the shady woods, N back up some other shady woods, a little warm out there. Very nice. Kid that lives on our floor is getting over his "problem" with Gypsy. yay. cretin.
downtown to bank, walked around the seaplane base & the new conference centre just to take it all in, lotsa people on the seawall...
soaked feet as I am scaring myself a little bit here. we'll see.

walked off the map this morning! over into New West, on the other side of the road. sunny, picked up two bags of garbage.
Train over to New West to grab some lunch stuff for D (and a coke, yum! gotta NOT forget its chilling in the freezer) - used Su-Jane's bus pass since she is away this week. Yay!
feet only hurt a little...gotta think about this. maybe I should ask for another two shots of humira, just to see. feels soooo-o-o good not to hurt.

evening walk wandering around seeing if D was back - ferry was late tho. Late afternoon walk short - down to the parkway in very leisurely fashion, along the parkway, back up thru the low-rises - want to protect G's leg a bit - altho really it seems to be sudden bounces that get her, not sheer distance. Probably a lil strain or tweak, i am thinking, & it just catches her every once in a while.
