Re: Welcome to the June Exercise Thread

Bopper, have fun with DGD.

Patty, humidity zaps energy, that's for sure. It's a bit early for humidity, maybe it won't last long.

I got in a 20-minute walk last night. That's not much, but it was the best I could do. Want to let my body know exercise isn't entirely out of the picture. But, I won't be able do a workout tonight either because of an event I have to go to after work which will last into the evening. Next week will also be crazy, and I will probably miss workouts. I'm not a happy camper. I keep toying with the idea of 5 am workout, but the gym has been busy then. Maybe use falls off in the summer.

Re: Welcome to the June Exercise Thread

Well, I got up and did the bike for 30 minutes this morning. Sat at a desk part of the day, so I was restless when hubby and I got home for dinner. Soooooooo, I worked in the yard for an hour and a half, pulling up weeds, cleaning out beds, trimming bushes, etc -- but it looks so much better!! Tmrw I'm helping a friend move, then painting and helping at my brothers, and my husband decided to paint a room in the house, so I'm sure I'll be helping with that.......Smiley Wink you know how that works. Lol! Also, I might touch up a few spots in the bathroom that I painted a few months ago as well as the stairs. Who knows. I might just crash by the time I get home! Lol! Ok, night, all!

Re: Welcome to the June Exercise Thread

Happy Saturday all...It's hot and muggy here. We have had several days in the 80's. Thank goodness I have my treadmill in the basement. I have stayed on my routine since the last time I posted. However, yesterday and today I did my hour workouts in the morning. I like it better this way. It's good to get my w/o over with for the day. The bad news is that I'm feeling pain in my left heel. I'm afraid I have developed a heel spur. I'm still working out but have reduced the speed on my treadmill. {#emotions_dlg.mellow}

Re: Welcome to the June Exercise Thread

Hey all, it's freezing here so those sweating come visit me. Must be in upper 40's here.

I didn't do a formal workout today either. Hauled dirt, planted, more mowing...just tinkered here and there.

Have a good night!

Re: Welcome to the June Exercise Thread

Good evening everyone! I reached a new step goal today on my fitbit. I stepped approximately 11,000 steps. That is the most I have ever reached since getting my fitbit last August. Usually I average 7,000 steps. Today I went on a hour walk with my dog. It was a nice cool day and a great walk! Thank God everyday for these new bionic knees! My sprained big toe is still sore and I can not bend it at the joint yet. It is all black and blue. It is a bit better though, and I can walk on it as long a I do not put full weight on it. I bought some new sandals to replace the pair I sprained my toe while wearing. They were too loose. I wear them just in the house. I am so impressed with all your workouts! Peppermint patty you run 10 Miles in a day? WOW!! Future, bopper and nomless impressive your workouts too! Talk to you on Monday! Going to go shopping tomorrow and take a day of rest from exercise. Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!

Re: Welcome to the June Exercise Thread

Morning! It's beautiful out!!! 52* and no humidity! Lucy was shivering at first but warmed up after she started walking.

Yesterday I did 8 miles. Not all running. Gazelle, it's not all running, used to be and all at one time, I'm going to try and get back there in Va Beach. But I will say, my friends all tease me that they have to run to keep up with my power-walk.

Lucy doesn't like the heat, she actually does better in the cold...so I have been taking her for a couple of miles, then have to drop her off and go on my own. I don't know what we'll do when we move, it's really hot and humid down there.

Not sure what I'm doing today, should do a long ride but since it's so nice out, I'd rather get in a long run. I have to do weights too. I figured out why my back and stuff was so sore on Friday, I used heavier free-weights for legs, so I used my back a lot while picking them up and setting them down.

Anyway, hope everyone has a great day...I don't have my father any longer and haven't for years. So I'll just choose to remember the good memories and count my blessings.

Happy Monday...{#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}

ETA: Long, hard, hill ride that I said "never again" to...4 miles on foot...legs. I really need to start keeping track of this on paper so I don't have to write it or look on here! I'm going to when we move.Wink
