Let's Post our Daily Exercise

wow, thanks for the reminder to get a flu shot, Ruth. Took a nice walk this morning, and running up and foen stairs today!!!

Getting mine next time I go to the onco.

Mary!!! Such a wonderful picture!! Hubby and I watched all 18 innings!! What a game!!!

Here is a picture of the 4 mile walk we did yesterday. Old rail trail converted to a walking path. Gorgeous fall weather. Today I did a 4 mile run after school. Did my best time for the first 3 miles but back was cramping so the last mile was at a slower pace. 

One hour of LiveStrong class. I can tell I'm getting stronger.

Love the fall pic, thanks for sharing!

Great picture Mary. You guys look great in your gear. 

Ginger, you have the best running trails! Great fall picture. 

Ruth, wtg on the flu shot reminder. My work gives them to employees each year so I am set to get mine next Wednesday. 

Claire, glad you have a guy who makes you proud. 

Switched up my schedule a bit this week and went to bootcamp tonight instead of tomorrow.

Have s great night all!

5k run tonight just before it got dark. Lovely fall scent in the woods and breathtaking moonrise. Still need to do my weights and dinner.

Working on my introductory speech for Toastmasters which is tomorrow noon. Title is "The Empty Chair", the point being that it's not empty because I am still here. We need more chairs that aren't empty. This is for brain cancer, but of course it's for all of us.

I love this time of year.

My NYC trip is starting to shape up. Will get to see some of my old friends and business contacts. Important to stay connected. Plus learn what's new and on trend.

Can't wait for my new rug to arrive, but suspect will be early next week. Already looking forward to skiing. My guy and I are talking about hut skiing sometime around my birthday in early February. I can't think of anything more fun.

But right now, to savor the pleasures of October. (Note that I stay away from the pink which you don't see in the woods anyway.) Besides, I have too much going on to worry anyway.

Such as my favorite ride for next Sunday. Did someone mention database, invoicing, database, press release, and finalizing 2013 taxes?????? - Claire

Yesterday we had no power so ride and walk on treadmill were out. Then it was doc time. By the time I got home, all I could do was crash. Today I started with a one hour ride and it is such a better day already. Ahhhh

Gonna work out tonight after dinner on the Gazelle for a change!

Holy Cow, I suprised myself by doing 20 minutes on the Gazelle tonight!

Wonderful workout with trainer today. 5 reps of sit ups, overhead squats, and lat pulls with 25 lb weight (decided to revel that I can do that much already). Warm up and cool down was stretches and time on elliptical. Good day.

This evening I did 45 mins on a cross trainer and a few minutes of free weights. Its tough keeping up the program and getting to the gym at least 3 or 4 times a week but I am noticing a difference. My weight has been stable this week and I feel a little thinner and firmer so its encouraging.

Mommyof2 - congrats on your workout on the Gazelle!

auroaya - It took 4 calls to the YMCA to at least get someone to actively attempt to help me find out if I can join the LiveStrong program there.  Based on what someone else said I think they may only offer it during the time I am at work but I figured it was worth contacting the Y to find out if they are offering it any other time.  It sounds like your program is very good!

lyzzysmom - I love that feeling when you know your body is getting firmer from exercise.  I haven't felt it much or in a long time - ha, ha - so I am hoping to start feeling that way as I try to get into an exercise routine.

For me - I did some stretches and 20 minutes on the stationary bike tonight.

Did half an hour of an RPM class followed by another night of dancing at Body Jam

Whew - a few whirlwind days of baseball but sadly my Nats went down to defeat late last night.  Congrats to the SF Giants, a great team, and go get those Cards!  And at least I'll start getting my life back now that I'm not living from baseball game to baseball game.

We had our interval track training last night - 5 miles of interval work in the pouring rain.  The rain actually felt very refreshing, but my shoes sure were squishy by the end!  

And you'd think after 32 years of marriage I'd have learned to never diet with my DH.  Three weeks ago we took an honest look at the scale and admitted that over the last couple of years I'd gained about 10 pounds and he'd gained about 15.  With this running clinic pushing us to run more, we thought it was a good time to really watch our diets as well to see if we could drop some of that weight.  Of course you know the results - I've lost 4 pounds so far while he's dropped 11.    And he's even cheated on the diet more than I have.  It's just not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
