spindle-kles

I was pretty wiped after my 2 hour workout yesterday.  

I could barely peel myself out of the bed this morning.  I barely made it through the stretchers 8 station ( 6 of which were targeted for abs ) contest workout.  And today I made sure I sat up while in the sauna.  Yesterday's little unintentional sauna nap had me concerned.  If I did fall fast asleep I could be in there for hours before anyone discovered my dehydrated dead body.  I wonder if my dead body would continue to sweat right into the after life.  I could go out at fighting weight if only I planned it right.

I saw the proofs for Evan's bar mitzvah.  The good news is that I'm pretty sure I have great skin.  Other than that I'm going to use my boxing moves on anyone who uses the word "skinny" with me.  I definitely have cottage cheesy upper arm issues, and my sleeves should have been a couple of inches longer.  Don't even get me started on my calves.  It's amazing that my skinny ankles don't just snap like twigs.

Speaking of my skinny ankles, there is a new running store near my new new undead therapist and I stopped in to check it out.  They had a treadmill with a video camera aimed at the back of it.  A person could run for a minute and then watch the video of her legs running in super slow motion and find out that she is a bit of a pronator and needs new running shoes that have more stability just for pronators like her spindle ankled self.  Because, holy cow, if I thought I looked in danger of snapping an ankle just from being my size then I almost fainted watching my ankles warp with every pounding running step.  Naturally, this brand new running store didn't carry my shoe size (12) and I am against wearing men's sneakers, so they said they'd order a couple of candidates for me.  In the mean time, I'll be running very very carefully.

Tomorrow I get to take Josh to the eye doc.  Something was very not good during his yearly check up when the pediatrician set him up to read the eye chart and Josh couldn't recognize the letters on the chart, or even make good guesses.  I'm trying to wrap my mind around looking through glasses to see those sweet amber peepers that I love so much.  Oh well.

Greta- if I had your gorgeous shape I'd wear sweater dresses 365 days a year.

kim- I'm going to seek those out. Because they stock nothing in my size, they just don't know what to do with me. I guess it's back to Zappos for me.
