Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Ohh, edj terrific distance and yikes on blister & knee. Karen, hope your daughter is feeling at least a bit better today. Ruth, love your consistency. Ginger, good to see you posting. HeidiHill, how you doing? Falconer, are ya out there?

Had a Zoom yoga workshop tonight with Donna Farhi and about 650 others, lol..really enjoyed it.

Yea Martai! Congratulations on finishing radiation and making all those masks. Good job on both fronts. In need to do more social distancing from my refrigerator too!!!

Dog walking & Zoom fitness classes yesterday.....ditto for today. Groundhogs Day #56 (or something like that.....they've all run together)!

I know the feeling, TT! And yet, I am going to be very nervous when they give the green light to do things 'normally' again......

TT - I'm zoomed and googled out!!! For work I have to do it - but not for leisure!!! Nice spring weather (70s) till Thursday when it will be high 80s. Cooling back to 60s by Monday. I want spring. I do not like when we go from winter to summer.

Finished my class last night - it was on zoom - took longer to do our presentations in small zoom groups than in person. I missed the last class that was given when my DH was admitted to the hospital. I think we were supposed to have 1 more but don't remember now. I hadn't done anything since the end of February for the class so I was pretty stressed!! Need to do a little work on my ppt and other artifacts, but not too worried. These are classes taught by peers after school. hours - we get a stipend and continuing education credit. Young people get the $ added to base pay but after so many years no more base pay building. Oh well, I'll take a stipend!!!

Waiting for DH to go for our after dinner walk.

Sweet dreams

They are starting to open some things up here, with restrictions, on Friday. No way that I will be going into a restaurant or other group setting for awhile. I don't want to be one of the guinea pigs!

I walked by myself this morning and we took the puppies on a Field Trip this afternoon. Zoom Zumba in a few minutes.

Walked about three miles yesterday. Saw no one on my walk, which helped my state of mind! Then soaked in my hot tub after...

4 walks today - 3 with DH and still only 13K!!!! Didn't get as hot as they predicted - only 80 and cloudy - not ready for summer quite yet.

Wow, amazing edj!

I am still doing the same old, same old. Dogs and Zoom......the governor is easing restrictions in the state, which won't affect me because I am staying put....EXCEPT I am getting a hair cut/color Sunday. My beautician called; she'll be the only person at the shop, I'll wait in the car until she waves me in, she'll take my temperature at the door, I'll slather on hand sanitizer, she'll tape a cloth mask to my face, she'll be wearing a mask, no coffee served, no magazines available, no blow drying at the end.....I'm pretty sure I will be safer than when I make my weekly grocery run.

Happy May Day!

Congrats on snagging a color/cut, Ruth! Also I am glad that your hairdresser is able to bring in at least some revenue. I am glad to have a cut that is OK if it waits a bit, and I do my own color. I will say that being "Zoom ready" isn't cheap as had to restock a number of items. I hope I am done with the restocking phase of things for a bit.

I think I will do a bit of retail therapy this morning and snag a gorgeous scarf. I find that what works best for Zoom calls is a scarf over a basic sweater. Casual and dressy at the same time for business calls. (For the record, I do wear something decent on my bottom half unlike the hapless newscaster who learned the importance of trousers the hard way!)

Enjoying my deck and the fresh geraniums that I planted last weekend. Working like a demon as we scramble for business in my market research venture and for funding for the nonprofit where I also work. I have the weekend task of updating a collateral. I don't need to worry in the least about my brain going stale!

Off for a ride in a bit. Important for my sanity. I think my favorite trails will open up this coming week, but I've been getting in routes I haven't done in quite some time. Fun to explore. Not to mention safe (unless I crash). I learned all about bog laurel during my run yesterday from someone who was also at the overlook point. We were safely distant and fun to learn a new thing. I got to see a pileated woodpecker close up this past week. I see and hear them all the time, but the first time seeing one close up. What a glorious sight!

I feel for everyone taking a financial hit as I have been there more than once in my life. At the same time, I am excited to see the innovation and change. So grateful to be largely self-sufficient and a good cook.

More later. Hoping for some sun today. Cycling is equally good exercise in the rain, but sun is a lot more fun. Rain or sun.....much preferable to staying inside. - Claire

Did Zoom Zumba this morning, met up with DS & the dogs for a picnic & walk in the park, a girlfriend came over & sat on the other end of the deck while we visited and had a hard apple cider. I then did Yoga Nidra online & we are ordering out for dinner.....so whoo hoo, a day without cooking!

Got in not quite 16 1/2 mile run yesterday, and then 6 miles today. I had some left knee pain yesterday but that's why I've been going to physical therapy

Aw that is so incredibly kind of you--I would love that

Zoom Dance2fit at 1:00 for me today.

Worked in the front yard yesterday, cleaning up leafs from the fall and moving rock around - that and 3 (or was it 4) nice walks and got almost 22K steps!! Felt good to have the time to work in the yard.

Yesterday started the run of 3 birthdays and mother's day in 9 days!! DD#1 turned 34! its funny, on my maternal side, I have 2 first cousins. They are quite a bit younger than me. My husband was asking me how old they are - and I said 49 and turning 45 this summer!!! My husband goes, I still think of "L" as a little boy when he came sailing with us (he was maybe 11 at the time). And now his son is I think 9 or 10!!. Funning thing is, my husband has seen my cousin many times since then and lots of times as an adult. This cousin lives in Banff. His younger sister lives outside of Toronto. I think its been 20 years since i've seen then. Last summer I drove to see their mother. Just funny how we age, but for some people we know, they stay fixed in time. The first time my husband met these cousins, we were dating and they were 1 and 5!

Start of another school week. I taking a PD this morning (virtual) on "Radical Self-Care). I know the woman teaching it. Nothing much on the calendar for this afternoon except planning.

Have a great day.

Sounds like a great idea, TT (I was kidding about doing 26 miles of exercise at once)!

I was completed the dreaded grocery run. It's a rainy day (which is good because that will green everything up and make it more springy looking). I'll do Zoom Zumba & Pound tonight.

For my fellow Yogis:
