Improvise


Im-pro-vise

1. to compose and perform or deliver without previous preparation; extemporize: to improvise anacceptance speech.

2.
to compose, play, recite, or sing (verse, music, etc.) on the spur of the moment.

3.
to make, provide, or arrange from whatever materials are readily available: We improvised a dinner from yesterday's leftovers.
(see:http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/improvise)

Using the third definition of Improvise, I adapted a work-out this morning. The materials that were available were: time, before Bambino would go down for her nap; stroller, mode of transportation for bringing Bambino with for the exercise duration; exercise resistance band, a way to modify what should have been a roller-ski effort to a modified run-strength ski exercise; amazingly beautiful day, what more could be ideal!

Although I had hoped to get a rollerski in today, I was forced to work with what I had. Unforunately we don't own a Chariot with a ski attachment yet-and well, there's no snow anyway!!!

Lessons learned: make plans-plans are good; realize plans must be changed at times; realize fun can be had and goals accomplished when the plan isn't executed exactly as designed!

See you on the trails, Coach K
