Let's Post our Daily Exercise

2.75 miles walking around McKinney with a friend.

Just did 25 minutes on the Gazelle

Did some yard work and then went for a walk. It was a beautiful fall evening.

Had a cyst removed from my head this morning. Appt was over with enough time for me to get in a 3 mile run before heading to school for the afternoon. Glad I ran before the numbing stuff wore off. 

My head is very sore now...

Ginger, hope today is better.

Freestyle step and body balance this morning.

Odie - the long term plan is to retire to the cabin, but we can't financially pull that off for a few years.  Short term, we plan to rent a small for a few years close to work  - rent will be less than our current mortgage payment on the house so we'll be saving some money, plus we won't have those unexpected house expenses like - ooops! Need a new roof.  Or oooops!  Need a new furnace.  The plan is to do everything we can in the next few years to retire as early as possible!  Ginger - hope the head is better!  Claire - I keep basic packing list templates on my PC - one for winter travel, one for beach travel, one for city travel, etc.  I use them as a start when deciding what to pack for what kind of trip.  Have fun in NYC - as the saying goes, I love to visit there, but could not handle living there!

Just over 5 miles of interval track work last night - and of course it
rained again!! But it felt good - after 10 weeks of this running
clinic, I can really feel how much my running has improved.  It's been grueling, but very worth it.  Our target race is a hilly 10K on 11/2 - our clinic schedule takes on a dry run of the course this Saturday so we'll know what to expect, and our coaches can give us tips on how to handle specific course challenges. 

Reporting in for a couple of days.  20 minute walk yesterday and weights.  30 minute walk tonight.  Brisk and fall--like here but sunny and colorful leaves. 

hi all, checking in with 8.2 miles walked since last post.  Walked 30 mins after work Mon and an hour tonight; Tues was date night.  Today was an absolutely gorgeous fall day.  Ruth I saw on the weather 81 degrees in ND the other day??  Mary, love the cabin pix.  Safe travels to our globe-trotters. ♥ 

Ginger, hope your head feels better today. 

Mary, smart plan and totally understand the surprise expenses of homeownership. Fyi, your cabin sounds just like what DH and I want to retire to at some point. We have picked out the log home plan and now just need to decide where in the Carolinas to put it.........LOL

Ruth, great WWW picture. Wish I had a group like that near me. 

Teacher, sounds like you are getting stronger each day. 

Exercise for me today was 30 minutes on the Elliptical. Work has been insanely busy, like Claire's life (ha ha) so that was all I could muster. 

Hope everyone not feeling well is now on the upswing. Sweet dreams sculpted sisters.

Edited to fix stupid typos.

30 mins on the treadmill tonight but I didn't do a workout because I was firing my trainer. Well trying to. But she started crying and actually blubbering her words and I lost heart. So I'll give her one more chance. Gosh why can't I stand firm in things. She really hurt me - I was out for almost 2 weeks and she wouldn't believe me when I said, I can't do more. Kept pushing. O well.

Goodnight ladies.

Ruth - no matter where we move, there's always room for you and dh to visit!  Red - you are too nice!!  Hopefully your trainer has learned a lesson that when a client says I can't do anymore, they mean it.  Odie - have you checked out Topsider Homes for your cabin in the woods?  We were going to build a log cabin, but when we found Topsider on the internet, we went with them.  Our "cabin" is octagonal, with a center pole and support struts.  Since none of the exterior walls are load bearing, we can have huge ceiling to floor windows all around.  Topsider is in North Carolina, so it would be handy for where you want to go.  They even have pedestal homes for beaches and other places prone to flooding.  Here's a picture of the cabin I took this weekend.  As you can see, we have lots of windows!

I've got my running gear at work and plan on running the 4 miles home after work tonight - it's a clear blustery day here and temps should be about 60 by then, which is perfect running weather for me. I'm running on park trails almost all the way home, so it's a pretty run. 

Nice home Mary and liked looking through the link. 

Mat Thursday, body balance, pink pilates, yoga, and more yoga.

Thanks Mary, nice of you to say. And I adore your cabin as much as your trails. Can I sneak into Ruth's luggage when she comes visiting? 

Sorry LLC, that isn't a problem I've had, but there are a ton of runners on here so I'm sure someone will have a suggestion. 

Going out to dinner tonight with the Well Fit girls, so my exercising will be fork to mouth. We're doing Mexican this month. Olé.

Went to my exercise class (different sub, did a lot of things with balls......kind of fun to have different teachers & get a variety of workouts), then raked leaves for an hour & subbed this afternoon (Math.....luckily the teacher left me the answer key!), and I'm going to a volleyball game tonight.....so another busy day!

Hopefully a runner can help you with your problem, love. I imagine that if you could get yourself on a schedule so that you 'go' before you start the running, that would help.

Aurora, hope you are having fun even with the rain.

Mary, what a cool cabin! I have to go visit my sister before I go anyplace else or she will disown me.....but maybe DC in the spring?

An hour on elliptical yesterday followed by heartburn.I had not had it since much since I lost 10 pounds a couple of years ago but I have been gaining and eating all sorts of stuff this week so need to get back on regular diet.

After lots of alka seltzer (this is my miracle heartburn cure) I was ok this morning and did 30 mins on recumbent bike followed by some free weights.  In the afternoon 9 holes of golf with a cart that was very slow and the only real exercise was when I got out to push the cart at one point as it was dying and we had to phone for a replacement.

I love the cabin too!!
