Lets Post our Daily Exercise

Sorry Odie still no dancing, I have a low grade fever, my body aches my head is stuffed up and I'm coughing till I gag and I'm in one of those funks, came home from work and So Cal Edison had been out to fix a problem and only could do a temporary fix so I have no stove/oven so there went any plans for my dinner but luckily I have an electric kettle so I could still make tea but I have no cookies in the house, oh but I have Halloween candy, i probably will have it all eaten before Halloween, can you tell I feel  bleah

Cheryl, you better try my mom's cure being under the weather: 7 Up and chicken noodle soup (which I suppose you could heat in a kettle)......it is so boring to feel yucky, isn't it?!

Mary, we will seriously try to put something together. If we waited until April, we could celebrate Baseball as well as History! Love your cabin plan. It doesn't look too little to me!

Today I will go to yoga, either walk or clean the house & then back to school for another afternoon of math (the teacher has a two afternoon workshop). When people ask how I like being retired, I think...hmmmm, if they mean you just sit around staring at a wall, then I don't think that I will ever be retired (or want to be!).

Lovelikecrazy,  welcome and years ago, I had the bm running problem and somehow it changed.  Here is a link that discusses the running pooping problem and possible solutions. Mary, your running times must be better and have you dome a long run without walking?  I'm limber, and my 21' diep hip-to-hip scar has really changed (less red, and fading fast) as a result.  I'm a seasonal runner and with so much strong wind and rain here,  I try to run at least once a week and more if weather allows - cold but not rain and stiff wind.  Getting to the gym(s) and village hall classes save me during winter.  Cheryl, take good care and I'd pop by with my special homemade chicken soup if I could.

Freestyle step with hand weights and body balance at the gym this morning.

Good call Ruth!

LLC, years ago I had the same problem. For my training runs, I'd just make sure I stayed near the house for the first mile or two in case I needed a pit stop, or make sure my route took me by a friendly gas station or Starbucks early on. On race day, just make sure you get in line for the porta potty as soon as you get to the starting area. Usually the adrenaline moves things along. 

I made it out for a run this morning but have been in bed or the bathroom ever since. Nausea and diarrhea are kicking my butt today.

10/24- back to the gym today post travels and with the personal trainer. We talked about my eating and work outs while I was on the road, which was helpful. I wanted to do a walk this evening but my feet seem a bit sore from my travel the other day so I am giving them a break and hopefully tomorrow things will be better.

Aurora- is the weather better yet in Mexico?

45 minutes on the FitLinxx machines at the Y.

I could spend a lot of time on that Caribbean tab too!!!  Ruth - I absolutely second that decision to walk instead of cleaning the house!  LB - my running times seem better, but our 10K target race is next week so I'll let you know then for sure.  I was able to do last week's 8 miles without walking so that's a definite plus.  I've also learned how to do intervals and picked up other running tips, and my legs feel stronger, so the running clinic has been really good for me. 

Signed up for a 5K Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving and a "Jingle All the Way" 5K in DC in December, so I've got some runs to look forward to after next weekend when our clinic ends.  Odie (and anyone else in the DC area) - any chance you might join us at the Jingle All the Way?  It's December 7th and lots of fun running in DC.    It's usually an 8K, but due to road construction in DC,  it's only a 5K this year.  People dress up in all kinds of holiday stuff - reindeer, Santas, elves, dreidels, etc.  You get so distracted watching the other runners that the race just flies by.   Last time we ran it there was even a runner with a tuba, and he carried that thing playing holiday songs for the entire race.  My goal was to at least beat the guy with the tuba - and I did!

This morning, our running group did a practice run of our 10K course for next weekend's race.  I've not done this race before, so it was great checking it out ahead of time.  And the coaches gave us tips for each section of the run, so I feel like I'm going into the race armed with some good strategies.  There are a lot of hills  but at least every uphill means that we get to run down that same hill.    I wore my Sculpted Sisters shirt today and got lots of compliments on it. Beautiful day here today - resting up after the run, and will do outdoor chores later today.

Pleased you've enjoyed the running clinic Mary and have a few fun runs lined up - go for it Odie! 

Sunny, clear morning and got a early 5k run in. 

NatsFan, I love the idea of a Thanksgiving Turkey Trot. I may have to find one and sign up as motivation! Running in DC in the fall is the greatest. I ran the Marine Corp marathon there in 2008.

I'm feeling much better today. Thanks for all your well wishes. Got in another short 2 mile run this morning and did some core work. Also took DD to the mall so I'm sure I got in another mile or so there!

I got in a 3.5 mile run as the sun was coming up this morning.

We had a beautiful, warm day today. I went to a running store and got professionally fit with some running shoes. Got in a bit more running trying out a few pairs. 

LA - congrats on doing the MCM!  This year's MCM is actually taking place this morning, so there's lots of local coverage. DH's running coach for the clinic is a 2 year b/c survivor and is running it, so we've been following her online - she's just about to hit 10 miles.  If I ever get the courage to do a marathon, that's the one I'll go for.  And yep, running in DC is great - not only for the beauty of the monuments and the sense of history, but because it's FLAT!!!!! Ginger - beautiful pictures!  Thanks so much for sharing.  Having a view like that makes it almost worth getting up that early! 

After the practice 10K yesterday morning I did a lot of chores, then we walked a couple of miles to our favorite Mexican restaurant for an early dinner.  I did a few chores after that, then checked my Fuelband and realized I had just over 27,000 steps!  So of course I had to march around the house long enough to get to 30,000.  It was an all time record for me in the 16 months I've had my Fuelband!  More chores on tap today - we're also having beautiful weather so it's a pleasure to be outside. 

Hi All. Just a quick note. We had a beautiful weekend. Yesterday I parked cars for 6 hours during a HUGE festival my town has in the fall. Over 180,00 people attended and it's a great day for local churches and organizations to make money. 

Walked/ran this afternoon. The late afternoon sun on the fall trees is breathtaking!

10/26-gorgeous day here as well. I did a nice 90 min walk down by the river under the beauty of the golden cottonwoods.

Hi all.  Wow, haven't been on for almost a month.   Laptop in in my 'office' which I don't visit often (here now for a few minutes).  I don't care to do much  on my tablet.  But, WARNING, ruthbru will get you.  Can't hide for nothing!!!!!  Maybe I'll try and steal a few minutes during the day at work to check in.

Have been moving a little but reinstated my gym membership so will resume water aerobics and maybe try spin and zumba again.

Night my sculpted friends.

I'm baacckkk..... Finally exercised today after a full week off, gosh it felt good. I had signed up to do a Spin class at an ALS fundraising event being held at the Del Mar racetrack so 45 minutes on a bike outdoors on a lovely sunny morning, then afterwards went to lunch with the San Diego ladies. I have to say I have been 'feeding my cold' so I daren't go anywhere near a scale
