Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Hope everyone coming down with the cold thing going around feels better soon. Ruth, you are one busy lady! Lilacblue, so glad you have a nurse friend helping you with hubby. Anything to make this path less difficult for you both.



Been slammed at work lately but refuse to compromise my exercise time. Ran a 5k on the treadmill tonight plus weights.

Walked the dogs this morning and going to go walk/jog some more in a little while.

Garage and yard cleanup and 30 minutes of hooping.  

Great picture Ruth.  LB, so glad you have support and DH is getting rest.

EXACTLY, Ruth!

It's the first time I've been "normal sick" since my diagnosis (except for a 1 day temp that delayed my exchange). I laugh in the face of mere colds!!!!



Seriously, though, it really gives it a whole new perspective!! Like you said, just a couple of days of blah...,



I'm going to skip my exercise today though as we are registered for a 30 mile ride tomorrow. Tour de Troit here we come! Bike jersey? Check. Kleenex and cough drops? Check, check.

Dulcigirl....ride looks like great fun.  They make you really move with the longer one.....you have to be a really strong cyclist to do a sustained 15 mph.  But the 30 miler looks like great fun, plus being very scenic.

Feel better, as cycling with a cold is no fun at all.

Thinking of you Lilacblue! - Claire

Lilac: Sending best wishes to your dh on Monday. May all go well for him!

Ruth: Glad you're subbing. Have fun at the Pep Rally!

Mary, Dulcigirl, and everyone else who is sick: Sending you GET WELL SOON messages!

Just returned from a fast walk around my neighborhood. Later today I'm leaving for an adult weekend at a Girl Scout camp. Lots of walking, crafting, eating , and even riding a horse. There's a good chance for rain. It may make the woods damp but it's not going to dampen my fun time! 

Have a great weekend everyone!

Thanks, Claire!

We did it last year and loved it. VERY slow paced. This year they are having staggered start times within the "tour" group to try to get things moving more quickly. Last year we had signed up prior to my biopsies and diagnosis so it was iffy if I would get to go. My surgeon had me come in for a "yes or no" checkup. One of my biopsies caused a big hemotoma and she did not want me bouncing that around. Thankfully it had healed just enough and she liked my doubled up sports bras and gave me an approval IF I did not bounce. :-) So, I rode carefully and held on to righty when I crossed two sets of train tracks.



It'll be fun to just ride this time!



BTW, my mom (2-time bc survivor) lives in Seattle. I was born there. LOVE it!

Walked the dogs early and that was it for today.

Hooped to Talking Heads Little Creatures, which is 38 minutes.

Ha ha Ruth, I don't think my knees could take 38 minutes of hopping :-)

Got home from our ride about two hours ago. It was cold, windy, a little bit rainy once and SO much fun! They staggered the start times this year which really helped, so our pace was a LOT faster than last year. 30 miles in and around downtown Detroit with my 6,000 new bike buddies. VERY well organized annual event. Great exercise and I feel good despite not sleeping last night with the dumb sinus thing and some stomach stuff. So glad I went anyway!

Did an hour of spot toning with Denise Austin this morning. My cold has returned so this afternoon I took a nap on the couch. I think I need to go in search of some caffeine!

Two hour hike, no hopping or hooping or skipping :-)

(((Joy))), I think Lucy is darling!  Good to read hikes are back and the move back to the states and good plan for the reasons you stated. I can also imagine how daunting the paperwork is. Thanks for checking in beauty.

Tomorrow kicks off 7 week treatment for dh, first radio and then 9 hour hook-up to chemo.  We have been grappling with peg tube care and his stomach has been rather bloated since it's placement.  Picc line was plastic wrapped this morning all of his upper right arm to take a shower. Today marks the last decent tasting meals he will have for months - nothing like a little Sunday lunch pressure. That leg of lamb and roast potatoes better be perfect. I going to try to run today, yet it may be difficult to do my out the backdoor 5k route as all traffic is being diverted down our single lane road until early tomorrow morning due to road works on the main road.

LB I bet you had an amazing lunch--I hope treatment goes great. I hate running near traffic, but it's better than not running (?)  Joy that's a cute pup.  It sounds like you have a lot of planning, and maybe packing ahead.  

Six miles this morning, fairly briskly, on the beach.  Mini-bike ride planned for this afternoon, to encourage dd.
