JackB: I'd love to see the video but I can't seem to click on it: is it my computer or the link?

Oh ksusan....have you heard this one?

From another Social D Fan...well being, right?

ksusan

I see your Social Distortion and raise you a Gun Street Girl.

9/29: .33 hr T (2.7 MPH) + Fitbit steps + 120 crunches + 300 pedals + resistance band + 10# lifts [60x4] + resistance band x 2 + 60-sec plank + 1.17 hr T (2.7 mph) = 6.75 miles

Littleblueflowers and ksusan: Refreshing!

(I didn't know Social D were still around!) *Hides*

littleblueflowers

Yep! Social Distortion put out a new album a few years ago. It ROCKS.

Ok Ksusan- I fold. Tom Waits is always the winning hand. You reign as queen hipster today!

edited to add: and that song is bad ass. Now I'm stuck in a Tom Waits loop here at work- should make therapy interesting LOL

Patti Smith is doing a "Horses" tour this winter....

Somehow yesterday I got in 10k steps in addition to my 3 miles at the gym. 1/2 way to 10k today so far. Although I did it in a careless way. Walked to the library, 1.5mi round trip w/o sunscreen or water, an umbrella would've been helpful as well. The sun is so sunny, currently in the 80s - heading up 95. Blech. I have lots of errands to run so hopefully I'll hit that target

eheinrich

ok many steps - 7k. Now my feets are going up!

littleblueflowers

Nice work eileen!

Ksusan. Yes. You are the queen of all hip. Patti Smith is awesome

1hr eliptical...sigh

33.5 miles on my bike, ocean was beautiful, little glistening sparkles all over the water and with low tide it was amazingly beautiful, beautiful sunset, beautiful day! I can't even explain how beautiful the ocean was today.

And feeling strong, fuck chemo, fuck cancer!

Eileen, Jen, and Theresa- well done today! And thanks, T for sharing your bike ride. It sounded spectacular, and I thought I caught a whiff if ocean air. 🚴🚵🏻🚴🚵🏻🚴🚵🏻🚴🚵🏻 (trying to show some hills I know you climbed in the background.)

ksusan

Hooray for ocean beauty!

Italychick

did I mention how beautiful the ocean was today? Lol!

9/30: Fitbit steps + 60 crunches + 30 pedals + 20 dead bug pedals + 30-sec plank + 20 modified military presses + resistance band + 1.0 hr T (2.5 MPH) = 5.25 miles

Theresa: I wish I were there….although you would be talking to me and I would just be agreeing with everything you said.

eheinrich

If I were there Theresa I'd slow you down considerably

Italychick

I wouldn't care. I started helping a friend learn to ride, and we go reaaallllly slow. But I kind of like the change, so I ride with her, then double up and do a second ride and speed run with Cheryl. And I take my step daughter, she goes on an electric bike, pedals when she can, and uses power the rest of the time. It is super fun to have companionship!

eheinrich

Something I've always wanted to do is to go on one of the bike tours through small wine towns in Italy. Once the weather stops trying to kill me I want to get my bike fixed and get pedaling. I figure by the time I have enough cash put away I should also be able to do the 15-20 miles per day

Italychick

isn't that the truth, this stupid heat and humidity has been brutal. And I have totally trashed myself this week so today I am not doing a damn thing other than walking. And tomorrow is Herceptin and first post- chemo mammogram. I made an appointment with my breast doctor for next week to go over results. Argh, I really hate this shit

littleblueflowers

1 hr stairmaster. This weekend I won't get much excercise because wedding travel. Next week though...whew. we start a 3 week marathon survey at work. And I finish radiation. And have my first 3 month check with my MO. I just hope I can keep up!!!

ksusan

I'm too tired to add up numbers tonight. We have several students and staff from Umpqua CC or nearby, so it's been an especially heavy day.

slothabouttown

Susan so sorry. Such a tragic day in Oregon.

Jackbirdie

KSusan, I posted on the other thread, but ditto what Sloth said. I'm an hour from Roseburg and the community here is traumatized. I know you're in education and thought of you immediately when I heard. I'm so very sorry for all of the losses that touch you directly and indirectly. I can't begin to fathom the pain you've had in the last two weeks.

littleblueflowers

Thinking of the Oregonians here tonight. I really don't know what to say, but I'm holding you in my heart.

ksusan

Thank you, Jen, and thinking of you, Katy and Sloth, as well.

octogirl

ksusan, and all of Oregon, and the entire country, I am so sorry. In my thoughts and future action.

Trvler

Theresa: You have to wait a whole week to find out? Ugh. That makes me mad.

Italychick

30 mile bike ride, beautiful ocean again. I am so lucky to live where I do! We took it slower today since I had Herceptin infusion and mammogram today, was really nice.

Allison, I'm okay waiting. I scheduled the appointment, could have gotten in sooner. If something else is there, a few days isn't going to make a big difference

ksusan

A quick note to say that after a test flight of a couple of hours at 30,000 feet without sleeves, so far no evidence of LE. (This was approved by my PT; she still wants sleeves for flights of 4 hours or longer.)
