Swim Clinic Website

I’ve been doing swim clinics with my Westminster Masters swim coach, Tim Storsteen, for 2 years. Working with Stor is soooo fun!! We keep the clinics lively and routinely tease each other to help alleviate any anxiety a participant may feel about anything related to “swimming”. Some of those clinics have been FUNNY with everyone laughing. I love that.

The feedback we get is predictably positive. Participants continue to be not just pleased with the clinic, but overwhelming so; our clinics are now SO successful that Storsteen and I decided some sort of website was in order for folks to check on upcoming dates, refer the link to others, etc.

Clinics are small (we cap at 8 people...

Atlanta is the windy city?

What a crazy weekend, eh? A tornado in downtown Atlanta? CRAZY. I live about 6 miles from downtown so my house was unscathed, but the winds were pretty fierce that night.

It’s 9:30pm and I am finishing up my last round of ice then heat before bed.

Annoyed by yesterday, today I rode for 45:00 on an indoor bike. I’m not sure what it is about my personality that seems to need punishment. I was so mad at my body for hurting after the run yesterday that I thought to myself,...

Updates

Once again, when I need it most, I cannot sleep.

I wish I had copious updates. I really have none. I’ve been fastidious with my rehab and exercises, and haven’t missed one day or one exercise planned. I’d not say that’s much with which to be impressed – it is barely a fraction of the time investment and commitment I am used to.

I’m uncertain WHAT I am supposed to feel, what improvements are to be expected, or how much better I should be feeling. Some days I think the back is feeling better, but most days everything is status quo. I guess that’s good – but when I realize how little I’m doing it begs the question: “What would happen if I did more?”
If barely nothing = status quo… would more movement = worse?
Likely so. *sigh*

Harder still isn’t my inability to train for triathlon. Mostly I hate being unable to participate in anything which...
