Hey, everybody!  Didn't want to post on the July forum in case nobody goes there this late in the evening.

I'll be on a plane to Vegas very early on August 1st.  Gonna see my son and grandkids who live there and my son in San Diego is driving to Vegas.  My daughter in law is big on celebrating the kids birthdays is a big (expensive) party.  Birthday girl is going to be six but this is also her sixth bd party.  The memories are great once they're old enough to know what's going on.  So, now that's three kids....three bd parties.  I only attend one a year.  Not crazy about flying.  Anyway, I might not be on for a few days.

@DrKelli, I agree with you, the dues should be prorated.  Besides, is the 50% off really 50% off?  I always take that with a grain of salt.  If there is a contract, this should have been mentioned in the contract.

@bopper, this too, shall pass.  Keep your chin up and keep being the bigger person.

Stay safe everybody.

 Haven't checked any updates this morning- as of last evening, CO has  4 fires..

 Had some smoke smell and haze in our city. Weather isn't condusive to helping mitigate these fires. We aren't cooling off for awhile.

   Heading to the rec center this morning and then hopefully hop on my bike  before spending  time inside  when the day heats up-

@Mmsfoxxie  enjoy Vegas and your family.. 

@bopper - thanks for getting us started on the Aug. thread.

Good morning everyone!  Nice overcast cool morning here.  Love mornings like this.  Got my 10 minute walk in.  Knee balked at first but after a minute or two it loosened up and was better.

Not sure what else today will bring.  

@violet runner - So sorry to hear about all the fires.  The smoke from the fire just north of Sacramento is due to come into our area today so I'll have to be careful about leaving windows open and going outside.

@Mmsfoxxie  - I'm sure you are on your way to Vegas by now.  Hope you have a good trip and enjoy the birthday parties!

Hey all, it's overcast here but its so humid and warm.   At least we're all hot together.   We have fires from Canada blowing smoke into our area.   Not like CA and CO though.

Took a full rest day today. My upper back is full of knots and my forearm tendinitis is flaring too.

@Mmsfoxxie safe travels, you must be there now.  I am not a good flyer or traveler. I hope everyone enjoys the birthday party.

@JudyL stay safe, that air must be bad for breathing and if you have any issues like asthma not good. 

@violet runner Seems every year fires are more and more.   We had a fire not far from here actually here from someone not putting out a campfire.  It is now contained but please be careful.

August here we go!

Happy August!

Yesterday, I went out in the morning for a 2 mile walk and a 1.75 mile run. Later in the day I ran 3 miles with a group. Not only did I receive a Garmin badge for July for walking and running, it awarded my last run for doing it in 100 degrees. No wonder I was zonked when I finished!

To start out August, I walked 3 miles with my 6# vest. Trying to work my way back up to a 12# vest.

@bopper Hope you enjoyed your rest day and thanks for always starting the new month thread.

@Mmsfoxxie Enjoy your trip and party. Fill us in when you get back.

@violet runner @JudyL @bopper So sorry you have to deal with all that smoke. We have only had that problem once that I can remember. It is horrible.

[violet runner]

@lizzys  I applaud you for working out in 100 degree temps.

Saying that, I decided even though smoky to take a bike ride yesterday.  Half way through I asked my inner self what was I thinking.. HA! The smoke was worse than I anticipated- and it was already in the 80's  and climbing. I ended up cutting it short and sat at a coffee shop ( inside) for awhile. When I came out , the wind must have shifted where the fires are. It was much less smoky. So I rode home a longer way. The temp however was 90 by the time I got back.

 None of our 4 fires are out yet.. The biggest has burned 8000 acres- but it's more remote and not many homes .  We have several more days of high heat , no rain, wind.  More fires and difficulty maintaining the ones here in CO every present .

  I have many errands to run today, but thinking I'll get out and exercise when the sun comes up. A better time to go anyway.

 @bopper - Listen to your body and take it easy if you hurt. 

 And anymore, I am not a good traveler either. I used to love it.

   Be safe everyone.. Enjoy the upcoming weekend.

Good morning!  Did my 10 minute walk this morning and it felt easier - knee didn't bother me, feet seemed ok so was happy about that.  Will keep doing just 10 minutes for a while before adding more time.  I've pushed it too soon before and regretted it.

Cool overcast morning here.  Not sure what I'll do today.  Take care!

[bopper]

Hi everyone, it's a warm day here today and I"m still trying to not complain because winter will be here before we can blink.

I took another rest day, my knots feel better in my back today.  I didn't walk or anything. I'm okay with it.

Just grilled a salmon and had some coleslaw for dinner and now settled inside to watch baseball.

Is anyone else easily influenced?   I hate that I am.  I really shouldn't ask or say anything to anyone LOL, Its like I don't have a mind of my own.

 We picked up a new recliner today, I can never find one I like and it takes me a few weeks to know if it will work for all my back and neck issues.  And so now I'm altering it, LOL.  I told hubby just don't watch me as I cut through it.  I don't care, I have to have it mold to me and it has to much filling in the head part.  Doing it, don't care LOL

You know how they say if you stop sugar you don't crave it.  Well that's a bunch of ****** LOL..

Okay I'm done, have a good night
