Lets Post our Daily Exercise

Lots of steps today

The picture is from going over a bridge to get to the park where the WWW ladies walked this morning. My neighbor and I took our dogs for a hike just now, but I plan on Zumba tonight. Loving our unseasonably warm weather!

Yoga this morning. I will be out of town for a few days but will check in occasionally.

I am off for a 6 mile run in a bit. Finishing up some work as I am paying for my sojourn to Coeur d'Alene. Plus my long term client's daughter is back in the hospital post surgery so I got a small project from her yesterday.

My big news is that I am planning on moving to Coeur d'Alene early in the New Year. Glorious scenery plus amazing cycling and skiing. I will be able to trade up in apartment. Will have a garage, which means garage shelves to store my gear. I am very excited. I will also have AC plus easy access to swimming beaches.

If I didn't have commitments through the end of the year, I would head there tomorrow. So to burn off the energy, a run is in order. Plus some quality time with my vacuum cleaner.

I had planned on cycling into the mountains today but it was chilly and foggy this morning. More later. Feel better Saltmarsh. Colds are the pits. We have forgotten these things with all the Covid panic, but dragging is dragging. More later. - Claire

Wow Claire, big move. You seem so settled in Redmond and doctors in Seattle and all your known watering holes and vineyards...what a big new adventure to find the best there is in a new place, good for you!

Claire, such exciting news for you. It will be a wonderful move and should provide a very rich life giving you new opportunities for adventure and learning. Nothing like a move to keep the brain sharp. Idaho is now one of the top states recommended for retirement. I look forward to hearing about your new skiing and bike riding experiences. So happy for you.

saltmarsh, hope you feel better soon.

Wonderland, I missed Van Gogh Immersion at the start of the pandemic here last year. They extended it but I was not about to take the risk before getting vaccinated. Ruth your Bruno pics are like Van Gogh paintings

Claire, great combo of change of scenery at a lower cost. You will have lots of fun!

I am trying to do 10 minutes of weights everyday. For the most part I don't meet the guidelines for weekly resistance training. Not sure this does the trick but better than nothing,

Lilacblue, great to hear from you. You sound very busy. Hope brexit bottlenecks are manageable

I wish your pumpkins could be shipped through the mail, Wonderland. I'd order one from you! I know you will have fun on the beach!

We just got back from a wonderful cruise up the Hudson River. We had booked it two years ago (pre-Covid). It was a small boat, sailing at 75% capacity (75 passengers), everyone had to be vaccinated and pass a rapid Covid test before we left, we all wore masks for indoor activities, tours etc. so we felt we were as safe as possible. We did some wonderful tours, ate too much delicious food, and met some very nice people. Tomorrow it's back to my normal routine.....which better include being on a diet!

Here I am hiking in the Catskills.

Good luck with everything, Claire. A busy time!

We did a quick day in NYC, had stops in Sleepy Hallow to see the Washington Irving stuff, went to Hyde Park, hiked in the Catskills, did a tour of Albany which included stops at The New York State Museum and The Albany Institute of History & Art, did a walking Architectural Tour of Troy, and visited West Point.....so we covered lots of ground in a week. If you want a picture of anything, let me know because I have it. Here's one of Lady Liberty and I will find one from West Point for Claire. I went to Pound this morning.

You can't quite see Storm King Mountain under that cloud. Cold Spring is just across the river. Constitution Marsh is just to the right of the picture frame.

Glued to grindstone More later. - Claire

Took a very naughty dog for a walk and went to Barre Sculpt.

I think he is mad at us for leaving him for a week (he stayed with DS and was very well taken care of). He chased a bicycle rider up and down the trail barking like a maniac and absolutely paid no attention to our commands. After poor fellow (who has dogs so knows they can be jerks) finally escaped, we captured Bruno and made him a leashed walk on the road by the trails l.....which was not nearly as much fun for anyone. We have only encountered someone on this trail once before, which is why we were letting him run off leash.....and he has always before come back when called.

Sounds like Bruno is in the dog house

Love all the pics!

Doing Zumba in the afternoon and salsa tonight (online and live with masks, respectively). Walking the dog in a few minutes. Yes, I need to lose some extra pounds from the weekend binge apres hike.

Hi Folks!

Love pup picks and travel photos

GoKale -- how did your husband's marathon go?

I have been bust and working out a lot too. Last week of on-water rowing but we have restarted the erg Zoom classes as well. I can't not row, even though I have a broken rib (picked up on bone scan, but I had been telling my PT I Thought I had costochondritis right there for a while) and tendonitis in my elbow, but time on the water is so precious! And our weather has been crazy warm this week -- highs into the 70s, and we haven't even had a freeze yet! have been keeping up my strength training with the personal trainer, and we have been for some bike rides too. Managing at least an hour of exercise every day! Tomorrow likely to be a lighter day as I have a lot of driving to do for work and need to be at work super early, then have eye appointment at the end of the day to get the permanent lacrimal duct plugs for the dry eyes from chemo. Row on water last time on Saturday, early, in the fog, then the club boats are getting put up for the winter Hike with friends on Sunday, hopefully south somewhere where fall colors are still good.

Hope everyone has a great end of the week!

Heidi: I don't know if I could salsa with a mask on. I see people walking outside with masks and wonder how they can do it.

GoKale: I heard that Jagger exercises 3 hours a day, 6 days a week. Good for him! That's impressive that your dh ran the Boston Marathon!

Ruth: Bruno is so cute!

Dragon: sorry about your broken rib. Hope it heals quickly.

Hi All! Loving Hilton Head. We took a 2 hour kayak tour yesterday which was great fun. Been walking, biking, swimming in the ocean. Even saw an alligator in a pond. I will definitely miss all the beautiful scenery when we leave on Saturday.
