It’s a great article, Falconer! I am with you that it’s been hard to fit exercise into the back to school routine. I did well over the summer with biking, swimming and Zumba. I am missing my morning exercise schedule.
Great pictures from the trip, Ruth.

Great article, Falconer!!
edj, I think you need to check with your doctor. The heart thing may, or may not, have anything to tamoxifen.
We all made it home from the trip without all the hassles we had going out. Today I slept in, had a dentist appointment, walked the puppies & now will go to Dance2Fit and Yoga. Eventually I will get to all the mail, washing, buying groceries, reading the papers etc.etc. ......all the stuff that adds up when you are away having fun.

Falconer, thanks for the terrific link! Vargadoll & Ginger, good to catch up a bit with you both. Welcome Sig1324! Ruth, loved the photos and looked like a fun gathering. Hikinglady, super autumn photos - thanks!
I've been on a restorative & yoga nidra training in London since Thursday, that ends Sunday evening. The most deeply relaxing, chilled-out course I've ever been on! Training starts later, 12:30, so off to teach 9am bodybalance/flow and on the train to London. Let's keep at it!

It has been so hard to get in exercise with work lately but I did a little better this week, mostly thanks to absolutely having to mow my lawn one evening earlier this week and today’s fabulous weather. We had a perfect fall day of 65 degrees,sunny, and fall color is almost peak. Mowed my back yard today, walked my dog , and then went and walked around the lake.

Went to PiYo, walked a dog, and did several hours of yard work.

Windswept, rainy, grey Monday morning here in the hinterlands of Kent. Got home last night and loaded the car with props for today's classes. We are doing Wear It Pink at Pink Pilates @ 11am this morning with donation box in tow. Had a terrific Nidra and restorative training, with ten other amazing women. On Saturday, was on the highspeed to London filled with Brexit protesters; totally uplifting and gave me hope. With all that is going on in the world an this country, I have a pang of guilt, exercising my female privilege, existing for four days in a parallel universe of structured poses for relaxation and learning yogic sleep technique. Back to real life, and read of Deborah Orr, the award-winning journalist and author, had died last night of metastatic breast cancer, that was diagnosed this past August. I wrote her in 2012 as I read her column in the Guardian of her treatment ( her primary was in 2010). She wrote brilliantly and I was asking her how do you tell your children? She replied within twenty minutes: I'm sorry. It's quite a thing, breast cancer - no getting round it. I'm sure you know the best way to tell your own son. But I told my four children that breast cancer was extremely responsive to treatment and there was no reason for them to assume anything other than recovery. And that's the truth. They were totally cool with it. Was holding out for some hope, but dreading what was inevitable, when reading of her passing on twitter this morning. I hate this disease.

I had bought a rebounder a few weeks before my dx but didn't start using it until 2weeks ago. I am loving it!! It's fun and easy on the joints. Started out at 5 min/3xday, now up to 5 min/6x a day.Have been looking for good music to “bounce" to and so far the song that seems perfect is Georgia Rhythm by Atlanta Rhythm Section. Tempo starts slower, speeds up, slows down, etc. Continuing to look for others. Bonus is 4# weight loss in past 2 weeks! Despite my member name, I am no longer a “yogi”. I faithfully attended yoga 3x/wk for 20 yrs. Then I got dxed with glaucoma and was told I had to stop yoga bc it raises the ocular pressure. Until rebounding I had not found anything as enjoyable as yoga. I still do the balancing postures but anything “head down” is a no no.

Yogatme, super on the rebounder. You can enjoy yin and restorative yoga very without inversions and yoga Nidra (yogic sleep), which has none.
Here I am ( sitting, blonde w/grey), sitting next to our teacher, Dina, our ending photo of the restortive & yoga Nidra training.

Thanks LilacBlue! I will look into this for sure. Of course, the inversions were my favorites!

LB, your photo didn’t post, and we would all love to see you! I love yoga nidra and I don’t think you should apologize for not marching with anyone- you’re bringing more peace to the world by learning these practices.
Saturday and today were lovely and sunny so we rode bikes both days.

Walked a dog on a cold, windy, soggy day and went to Dance2Fit. My town is nestled between two rivers and is protected by two dams, but we had so much rain in September, followed a 3 day snow storm last week, that we are in a flood emergency. The water is at the edge of it's banks and the city has been sandbagging vulnerable points like crazy before the Army Corp of Engineers starts letting more water out of the dams......which they have to do now or else, if we have a winter of normal precipitation, there will be uncontrollable flooding. Bad! Bad!

Falconer, I sure hope it's more peace..in short supply over here! Let's see if this photo re-post works:

well today was my last "quality" speed workout before Surgery Day which is 10/29.
Will do some more running through Sunday and then join the walk club to keep my sanity.

Good luck, Iwave, it will be a good thing to have BEHIND you!

You had a great run! If you have a lumpectomy as I did, you may be able to run the next week. I walked the first week but then started running again the following week. I also ran throughout radiation. No chemo here, my BC didn't warrant that so others will have to chime in if that's your treatment plan.

Pound & Barre today.

Five mile run this AM. Heart rate still a bit wonky but not like it was 10 days ago.

It's a very brisk morning here. Four of us Wednesday Walking Women walked outside and the other seven went inside. Here are the brave outsiders.

I cannot tell you how happy I was to have a reasonable run today--no heart rate issues, nearly two weeks after stopping the tamoxifen. I'm seeing my MO's PA next week so we'll see what they want to do. This heart rate spiking might be from something else, but the tamoxifen was the only thing I could stop taking and see what happened. Can't make the Prolia leave faster, and radiation is done.
Anyway, got in a good five miles today

I am enjoying this happy thread of exercise and beautiful travel destinations!
This morning I ran 22 minutes in the dark before leaving for work. I park 10-15 minutes from my office (depends on which route I take to the building). I’m hoping for a walk at lunch.

Welcome Kale! This is a great group.
Drove 6 hrs today to Wilmington NC to attend my husband's 40th H.S. reunion...not much exercise today but will be doing a lot of walking the next 2 days before another drive day on Sunday. Temps of 75-78 here in southern North Carolina...perfect respite before the cold of November. TT

Glad you had a good run, edj. I think we really, really appreciate just feeling 'normal' more than almost anyone!
Great picture, Lilac!
Welcome Kale!
Maybe I need to go visit my North Carolina sister. I am already tired of dark and cold!
I subbed today (and will be there every day through next Wednesday as I'm covering for a friend who is at a family funeral out of state), zoomed over & let the grand-dogs out (the master's were working late), zoomed to the gym for Dance2Fit, zoomed home & showered, went to Book Club. I am tired!!!

Yesterday and Wednesday were lousy walking days - didn't even break 10K, but was close on Wednesday. Better day today - already at 10K - hope to get in another walk.
Gorgeous day today and tomorrow - tomorrow night a storm starts brewing with rain and then snow Sunday and Monday then more on Tuesday - temps in the 20s!!!
