Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Good Morning All -

Another gorgeous day here - clear and cool.  Logged my 45 minute dog hike yesterday - and tested heart rate along the way.  Heart rate was not as high as I thought it would be, on average - hmmm - might have to bump things up a little bit. 

heidihill   Thanks for the heart rate guide.  I'm a numbers geek, so this gives me a fresh perspective on how to think about activity. 

orangemat   Love the log at runningahead - I was really surprised to find mapped running routes in my neighborhood, several that I already know!   Seems that some of my neighbors use this too.   What a great tool - I'll show it to my son also. 

Off to discover a new trail with my dog.

Hugs ~

I am back to my usual gym routine but lastweek I bought a pedometer for daily use.I am hoping it will encourage me to get moving even more durring daily routine.Your supposed to wear it for a week then figure out your daily average.Then try increasing slowly extra 500 steps.Will let you know How i do.

Thank you so much, Heidihill and also for the website. Did a long bike ride yesterday and walked. Trying to always remember to use weights when walking. Gym routine today. Have a great day!

Wow Ruth - you're on top of things.   I sent all the t-shirt ladies an email so check the email addresses you used to order your shirt.  Cheryl also emailed me and said she'd donate mailing envelopes for everyone.  They're the light strong plastic ones, and she measured postage at $2.46 for those when stuffed with a performance weight shirt.  So, any of you who haven't put your stuff in the mail yet, you can send a check for the t-shirt plus postage, and enclose a self-addressed mailing label.  Cheryl will send me the envelopes and I can use those for people who don't send me envelopes.  Or, you can also do like Ruth did and send me the t-shirt check, enclosing a self-addressed, postage pre-paid envelope.  As soon as I get all the checks I'll order the shirts - and they should arrive 2 weeks after that.  I'm really excited to get them!

3.1 mile run last night, but no exercise today as I had to drop my car off at the repair shop before work and pick it up afterwards, so that took up my exercise time.  Of course the heart palpitations I had when they gave me the bill should count for some kind of exercise!!! 

Thanks, Ruth for the info! I'll be sending mine tommorow Mary.

Took a 4.5 mile walk with my girlfriend which included climbing up the steep stairs at the ski jump at our town and hiking back home through the woods. It was really refreshing and a good workout.

Just 30 minutes of toning & went to a vocal jazz concert. Will have to do some more 'make up' later in the week.

No exercise for me... my father just passed away unexpectedly and I'm here helping my mother. I can't believe he's gone. 2 deaths in the family + my diagnosis = 11 very hard months.

I love that man so very much.

My condolences to you and your mom. I'm so sorry for the sad news, which is on top of everything else you're going through. Keep following Dory!

NWArtLady - So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing.  My heart, thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time ((Hugs))

((NW ART Lady)) Sending you healing hugs and posotive energy. My deepest condolences!

NWArtLady  - so sorry for your loss.

 Natsfan: I just came back from Post office, Check is on its way to you with mailing label. Can't wait. I believe I told the people at the shirt place I went up in size for comfort. XL.

 Thank you.

Hugs,

Mailing label and payment on its way, Natsfan! 

Had to cut my walk this morning a little short - forgot to weigh in early, so was later getting over to my Mom's for our 7:30 (ish) start time.  Probably only did about 4 (ish) Kilometres today. 

thanks for the boost my sculpted friends, I walked 2.95 miles this evening  :-)

A nice day here, walked for 75 minutes & did 15 minutes of abs.....I am temporarily  'caught up' .

Thank you for your hugs, thoughts, prayers and good words, I really appreciate it.  He was such a good man.
