Poooooool Day! 1600 yards at the Black Mountain YMCA pool. Time off of my feet is setting me up for my long runs this weekend. And, YES, I’m training for my birthday run on SEPTEMBER 21st. I hope all of you will join me for this virtual run. Sign up on the Throwing Bones website. You can find the link in the profile. Keep moving forward. #KeepMovingForward #PoolDay #LapSwimming #CancerActive #SwimmingWithCancer #SupportYourLocalYMCA #Hydrate #BoneheadSwimming #BoneheadCoaching #InspiredByAthletes https://www.instagram.com/p/CSzx-okrcpz/?utm_medium=tumblr

It wasn’t my best training week, but it was progress. Thanks to @mrrunningpains for making me do 100 miles today to make up for my sorry performance the rest of the week. At my favorite YMCA, I swam an easy 1700 and discovered a picture of my favorite lifeguard who come home in just a few weeks! #AllInTheFamily #KeepMovingForward #CancerActive #Ossum #SwimmingWithCancer #SupportYourLocalYMCA #BoneheadSwimming #BoneheadCoaching (at Black Mountain YMCA) https://www.instagram.com/p/COl6_YphsFd/?igshid=pundaft61wnu

For me, the mark of a good day isn’t made up exclusively of Zoom conferences and meeting deadlines. It also includes filling my physical, mental and emotional needs. I checked all the boxes today. After super productive meetings early in the day and completing some important writing, I was able to make waves at my local YMCA. This evening I was able to reconnect with my friend Bill, from out of town, who lives with multiple myeloma. We visited Becki Janes‘ garden, walked around Lake Tomahawk, and emotionally connected. Then I had a big bowl of veggie chili which may not have been the best decision. #FeedYourSoul #FeedYourBody #MakeSureYouHavePepto #KeepMovingForward #CancerActive #MakeHumanConnections #InspiredByAthletes #SupportYourLocalYMCA @beckijanes #BoneheadSwimming #BoneheadCoaching (at Black Mountain YMCA) https://www.instagram.com/p/COT7ceYhQep/?igshid=ew2owe4uiev3

Since the pool reopened last June, our local YMCA has required members to schedule their lane time. Starting Monday, April 19, scheduling in advance is no longer necessary. The social distancing, maximum lane occupants, and mask requirements will stay in place, but you better get there early, because I’m looking for a place to splash. #KeepMovingForward #CancerActive #PandemicSwimClub #SupportYourLocalYMCA #XTrainerZ #BoneheadSwimming #BoneheadCoaching (at Black Mountain YMCA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNvwoYsBk53/?igshid=1ek406xxzs3he

Another reason to go to your local YMCA-the hunky lifeguards! those guys work so hard, they fall asleep as soon as they get home! What’s the point of having children if you can’t embarrass them on Instagram? #DadPerks #KeepMovingForward #CancerActive #SupportYourLocalYMCA #SwimmingWithCancer #RaccoonEyes #GoggleFace #BoneheadSwimming #BoneheadCoaching (at Black Mountain YMCA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CI8VpGkBvGF/?igshid=191g1jlypvq1v

In case you were wondering where I’ve been for the past week, I’ve been nursing a bum knee and trying my best to pretend like the election was not happening this week. Apparently I’m not the only one, because every time I signed up to go to the pool, it was full! I have been relegated to mostly non-cardio upper body activity for the past eight days. I finally got in this morning, and man am I out of swimming shape. Non-impact activity, was what I needed, though, to shake out these toxic feelings. It worked. I feel better. Now why don’t the rest of you give it a shot. Take a deep breath. Do a healthy activity to GENTLY increase your heart rate for 15-20 minutes. Take another deep breath. Repeat, until you start loving your neighbors. You might be sore tomorrow, but you’ll make the world a better place. #KeepMovingForward #CancerActive #SwimmingWithCancer #PandemicSwimClub #TheWorldIsYourNeighborhood #aegendgoggles #BeardedSwimmer #SupportYourLocalYMCA #LoveYourNeighbors #BoneheadSwimming #KennyCappsCoaching#KennyCappsDotCom (at Black Mountain YMCA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHQKDOwBzLl/?igshid=1h5w0cf1k1n3s

Finding time to workout is hard enough when our daily routines are normal and we anxious about catching a deadly virus from the person standing next to us on a treadmill or in the pool. It’s not perfect, but our local YMCA is doing everything it can to keep us safe while keeping us healthy. I’m grateful for the pool and a socially-distanced swim lane. And for those that have asked, yes, I swim with @aftershokz Aeropex headphones. Today, I was listening to the @thedailyshow about RBG. #KeepMovingForward #CancerActive #SwimmingWithCancer #SupportYourLocalYMCA #CrossTraining #NotoriousRBG #KennyCappsCoaching #BoneheadSwimming #BoneheadCoaching (at Black Mountain YMCA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFkJ8ydB_fM/?igshid=1a7fjk472m59b

I know that it isn’t essential that you were lifeguards be smart bunny, good looking, creative and ridiculously nice, but it doesn’t hurt. And the fact that my lifeguard today is my zygote is it relevant. Oh maybe that’s why I accidentally did 600 yards more than I had intended and it immediately went home to take a little nap.
