Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Went swimming after my 50 mile Tour de Peaks.  Man, was it hot!!!  Big news is that I didn't have to walk the big hill up to Snoqualmie Falls....first time making it up all the way on my bicycle.  I did walk a couple of hills, one little short one, and another one near the end when I just got overheated and needed to cool down.

A nice half hour swim in Lake Washington on the way back put everything right.

Ready for the big one next weekend.

Was able to go to the park and walk/run tonight. Not too hot: 75 degrees but still humid. Loved it, though!

We are here all week Ginger! We should meet up for an ice cream (fat free of course!!!)

Woohoo - half hour run OUTSIDE this morning - first time it's been cool enough in weeks to do that.  A nice 65 degrees and low humidity - heavenly!

Joy - your trip sounds wonderful, hiking around the fjord and enjoying Scandanavia. I minored in Scandinavian languages in college - I had gotten pretty fluent in Danish, could get along in Swedish, and could actually read a bit of Norwegian.  I've never been to any of those lands - I hope someday to see Den Lille Havfrue in Copenhagen.  I did see a copy of the statue in St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands - a remnant of the time when they were Danish owned islands.   

Of course when I hear the word "fjord" I think of the Monty Python Dead Parrot sketch where the clerk insists that the parrot isn't dead, he's just depressed because he's "pining for the fjords." Any other Python people here?

More beach walking and a nap.....starting to feel a little human:)

15 min on treadmill; 30 min on elliptical; walked to and from the gym too.

Gotta do my stretching now.

It been so nice here that I've been walking after work instead of before.  Love not getting up at 4 a.m.!  6 km = 3.73 mi yesterday.

Mary, I love Monty Python and have been known to pipe up with a "NI" from time to time. 

Momine, I had a shot of my daughter with den lille Havfrue as my screensaver for years but now don't know what happened to it. It might have been a copy at the airport. LOL.

Did lots of hiking and biking while on holiday in the mountains. My upper body was a bit neglected so I am trying to get it back into shape. My 5k training also needs some attention. Lifted weights 30 minutes, walked/ran 30 minutes and biked 20 minutes yesterday. Tonight it's Zumba!

Just saw this. The Voices coming live at an app near you. Pretty cool.

Wow.....hiking in a fjord valley sounds divine.  I am working, but did walk to the eggs benedict brunch and back.  Toulouse Petit has a "breakfast happy hour" menu, and a friend treated.  YUM!

Overdid it a little bit yesterday and feeling a bit stiff and achy today.  Still went out for my morning walk this morning will walk again after dinner and/or do some strength training.  

30 minute run today - outside again!  I'm loving being able to be outside and not on a treadmill inside.

swam in the lake and biked to get there and back for a full hour of aerobic exercise.

Fjord valley hikes sound gorgeous, Joy. We were in the valley of the longest alpine glacier, the Aletsch, which would be similar I suppose but with ice instead of water.  

Hi all you exercise queens,  I'm new to the site, and just started radiation this week.  So far, no big deal, but waiting for the shoe to drop (i.e.. fatigue).  I've been a runner for many years, nothing serious, but a 3 to 5+ miler a few times a week when my work schedule allows.  I'm early stage, so after a big lumpectomy, I was spared chemo.  But now I'm facing 6 1/2 weeks of rad's.  Running during the first week was a breeze.  What can I expect, gals?

Good evening everyone.

Kay: Welcome! Congratulations on having your surgery behind you and good luck with radiation. I had chemo and rads. My rads were during June and July. I walked almost daily at the beginning of rads. Then the heat came and the fatigue caught up with me so I stopped. Just too tired and needed the rest. Your body will talk loudly to you. Listen to it. If you don't, it will make you sit down and rest anyway! 

I walked/ran this afternoon at the park. Had dinner with my old work friends. It was good/sad to see them b/c I really miss my work. I've put in 3 applications at other places and even heard back from 2 of them so far. It's not fun job hunting after you've been at the same place for 22 years!  Exercise has really helped my stress level.
