Since when did I become a swimmer?

HOLY HOT AND HUMID BATMAN!

I have done Bikraim Yoga... yet, I can saw with confidence that I have never sweat so much before in my entire life as I have in the last few days. Cleveland has introduced me to hot and HUMID. Today, I had what I have dubbed “trainer-sprint-hell” workout and had to get a good warmup. It was pissing down rain, so I set up my rollers on our covered balcony, so I would at least be “outside”. Had I not been sweating this profusely at all my workouts for the last few days, i would not have believed it. Sweat dripping off my fingers, rolling into my eyes, soaking my clothes, socks and shoes. I wrung out my sports bra and got probably about 1/4 c of sweat! Just in the sports bra!

Then I did trainer-sprint-hell... oh my word. Linda hates me! Well... no she doesn’t! She knows that I like to push hard and she is pushing me hard! More sweat pouring off me in buckets. Disgusting, but it does make you feel like you got one hell of a workout, so that is good!

Now though, I am exhausted and am going to go to bed. I was deleting old blogs to make space for new, and I realized that I have been through SO much this year. It was funny to read back to Feb when I was hoping that I could finish my thesis and not always knowing from day to day... or when I was battling my body when I was sick and worn down. It is that emotional ADD kicking in- when I am not feeling those emotions, it is hard for me to remember that they were there before and so visceral. I like reading my old entries. I am kind of sad to delete them. Really, I should save them in case I get bored some day and want to go back and remember what 2007 was like. WOW is the conclusion... and there is still a lot to come. Only 8 months ago now, I was going to drop out of my PhD. I really was.

Good night!
