    Love the pics, Claire and California Dreamers!  LARock, give me a pm if you plan to be in Zurich. I can play Cheryl around town for you.

    I tried out a new toning-for-50+ class. The teacher tried some Zumba moves with free weights and met with a lot of resistance. Not from me, of course. Some folks just don't want to dance, or even try.

    Loving everyone's adventures. Yes, I would love to get back to Europe one day, and yes, Berlin is on the list. I would also love to cycle along the Danube. As a point of information, my friends who do cycling holidays normally come back thinner.

    The days are equally long here, and just love this time of year with endless evenings.

    Heidi, your Zumba class adventure gave me a chuckle. Not that I want to do for exercise, but if I were in the class, I think I could do the movements with no problem. The bigger problem is not wanting to move.

    I feel so much thinner after all the cycling. Only a walk yesterday as needed a day of rest. Think I will need to do a ride on Wednesday and another on Friday in addition to my weekend cycling this week. Sunday is an adventure with friends, so no major events. I am also making dinner so want to put something delicious on the table. Plus, I don't want to drive 100 miles each way either.

    Happy exercising everyone! - Claire

     "Would you like to go on a 5 mile hike, it's flat" said Ann, so off we went this morning for this nice easy 5 mile flat hike which turned out to be up and down and up and down and up and down, Ruth deserves that "mountaineer" badge she earned on fitbit last week, she took off like a rabbit and left us in the dust with Sweetandspecial and Ann and Patoo, Badger and I brought up the rear, Ruth will post pictures later we ended up wearing tons and tons of liquid awesome.

    Here is a picture from the top of the trail that Ann took

    oh yes it looks like Ann has a different meaning of flat! Pretty site though.

    Happy birthday meljo.

    I walked 50 minutes this evening. I was so tired but made myself go because the weather was perfect today. What a treat after hot and humid and rainy days.

    congrats, Meljo and wonderland on good reports. Also, happy birthday!

    California trip looks like a blast! I agree that does not look like a flat hike.

    I finally got my MRI results from 5/4 and the dr says it all looks ok. Phew! That was a long wait...

    I am off crutches for the first time today. Moving slowly but happy to be off those torture sticks!

    That is such good news Wonderland and Ginger! 

    Thanks for all the birthday wishes all! 

    So my workout plan for yesterday was to go for a run outside at work so that I would miss the scheduled fire drill.  Unfortunately the drill got delayed and I ended up running back into the parking lot where the entire building was still evacuated.  I had to stand there all sweaty in my running clothes in the middle of a mass of people in their business attire.  Awkward!  I guess I should have just extended my run.  Oh well, got it done at least.

    I've been going up & down the stairs many, many times. Working from home & taking care of my husband while he recuperates from retina surgery.

    Back to the gym last night and started with a short 30 minute resistance training for abs and lower body and a bit of TRX at the end. Planing to do more weights and swim today.

    Mel- happy birthday. Love the crown.

    To all the ladies out in Southern Cali, you all look great, are eating some good food, getting your exercise in and hope you are having a wonderful time together. BCO sisters are like family!

    Belated happy birthday, Meljo! Never too late to become a princess.

    Love the chocolate-covered strawberries on that cake. Piling on the sinful treats.

    2.5 hours of biking to bring my bike to be serviced. Had to fix the bike chain on the way there and got caught in a downpour on the way back. Things are working much better now.

    Hello, I am sitting in the airport waiting for my flight home. We had a fun Thursday. Some beach walking, pool sitting, shoping, hanging out, and of course, more eating. Yikes! I need to get out of here while I can still snap my jeans! A couple more pictures before we get back to reality. First, the California Surf Museum. image
