I started out jumping rope this morning as I waited for the sun to come up.  While jumping rope my shoe came untied. As I bent over to tie it, my gimpy hamstrig full on popped. OUCH! I was mad, so I jumped rope as fast an hard as I could to get my anger out.  After finishing 30 minutes I had worked out my anger... mostly, and went for a 10 mile bike ride. 

During the ride my chain popped off and I had to put it back on.  Once again if felt frustration, but tried to work through it. As I arrived home I remembered that I had low pressure in one of my truck tires, so I parked my bike leaning up on the opening of the garage door so it would be out the way as I filled my tires with air.  I started filling the tires and the compressor made a weird noise. Next thing I knew it was smoking and shut down.  Guess I burned it out... more inner turmoil.  I disgustedly put the compressor away and headed inside pushing the garage door button on the way in to shut the garage door.  Heading to the kitchen I remembered my bike was propped up under the door. I turned back, opened the door and pressed the garage door button right before the garage door came crushing down on my bike... wheh, dodged a bullet.  I had grabbed the door frame as I swung out to press the button and slam! The door is on a spring hing, my hand had just been crushed in the door.  That pain made my hamstring pain seem like nothing. It is swollen and hurts still. I hope I didn't break anything in it.  This time though, I didn't really get mad, I just thought that at least my day couldn't get much worse. It's only 9 am. I hope everthing else today goes much smoother.

This morning went much better than yesteday morning, but I will admit it was really hard to get out of bed for early morning seminary when the alarm went off.  After that the morning was nice.

1 hour jumping rope followed with some planks.

I'm not sure if I have ever jumped rope for an hour straight before. It gets a bit boreing, but it left me feeling spent like I do after some good speed intervals.

30 minutes jumping rope

10 mile hilly bike ride- hard effort

The hour was much easier than when I did it the other day.  Since I can't run, I'm thinking about doing a long jump rope (like 90 minutes) in place of my long run this weekend.

I won't mention names, but Doone and I were asked to talk in church Sunday. (Blake you know who you are.) Anyways, I usually prepare talks by going on a nice long run. Since I can't run (stupid hammy) I figured I'd go on a nice long bike ride and it seemed to work just as well as a long run.  For some reason I'm able to write talks in my head way better when I'm outside running or biking than when I'm just sitting infront of a computer or piece of paper.

38 miles pushing hard

I saw some ladies running the stairs at the London Bridge when I was riding and the thought came to me that I should see if my hammy will let me run stairs.  I'll have to give that a try soon.
