40s - week of 8/28/11

Good Morning,

I didn't sleep well last night had a headache and kept getting hot so we didn't walk this morning. Tonite I need to work abs.

Murphy-I know water damage in the basement sucks been there done that but at least you didn't have anything worse happen to you or your family.

Jody-hope knee is better.

Lisa-be careful on your hike.

Ronne-no shower would be a bummer.
 
Hi all

Murphy - sorry about your basement, but it sounds like it could have been a lot worse. It's a bummer about your workouts, another enforced break for a while.

Mary - you must have done some damage if you needed stitches. Glad to hear it's healing. How's the return to work? Is your DS missing his 'book club'?!

Jody - sounds like you had a great time with your mates. My kind of evening! Take it easy with the knee.

Roxie - hope your headache's gone today.

I went into town shopping with DD today. All school uniform related shops were chaos! Didn't get her any new school shoes - will try again at the weekend. Looks like we might have a shower in about a week. I tried the bath out last night (very carefully as it's not sealed). Did Pliates today so no sweat again!
 
I'm giving my knee a rest. How do you do cardio w/ bad knees anyway? What do people do? I will reduce/avoid higher impact and keep the step at one riser, at least until further notice.

PUB abs and chest yest. morning. More upper bod today.

Murphy, I never had damage in my home from hurricane, but we'd not have power for about 3 days was the longest for me. You guys sound like you are pretty tired from the clean up.

I am looking forward to hearing about Lisa's adventure and check in later, gotta get busy. Have a great day~
 
Hi girls! Never got here yesterday, work, running the kids around and meet the teacher night. I also never got a work out in! I will have to make up for it today. Jody, I hope your knee feels better. How frustrating. Lisa, how was that hike? Are you done for the year? Murphy, clean up is hard work. I hope it all comes together for you soon. Ronne, you are being a trooper without a shower! Roxie, did you walk this morning? I need to go find my ugliest workout and get busy! Mary
 
Good Morning,

DD and I walked 3 miles this morning even though I still have a headache I think its due to sinus infection and then I worked my abs. It was 87 degrees here at 5:00 so does that tell you what kind of day its going to be.

Mary-yes we got to walk rained when we got done.

Jody-take care of that knee.

Lisa-I got my kindle today.
 
I'm here, sooooo tired, but happy to be safe. Hit a thunderstorm at 13,500 ft when going for 4th 14,000 mountain, got real scared. Went to run for old mine for cover, but my buddy is much slower than me (she couldn't believe I was running across the ridge to a mine we say 1.5 miles away). As I saw the lightening I was real worried and what does she do? She stops to take a picture of the storm! I thought I'm gonna die because she's taking a picture! We got to the mine just in time. Those HIIT workouts came in handy! Once storm passed we went to haul a$$ down the mountain before next one we saw came in, 1/2way down it started raining and I heard thunder but didn't see lightening so I don't know how much danger we were still in we went as fast as we could (this part was steeper and rockier so couldn't run). No goats here and it was really an ugly area (desolate).

I'm running behind and late for everything, I'll be back later.

Murphy, glad you are ok, sorry for the flooding.

Roxie, woo hoo, a kindle!

Mary, all healed?

Ronne, welcome back!

Jody, what happened to your knee? I do bike or kickbox when reducing impact and I ALWAYS only use one riser (I think most of us do here).
 
Morning girls! Did KP&C this morning, hadn't done it in it's entirety in forever! And it felt like it lasted forever too! Not sure why, I really enjoy the conditioning drills, I think when it gets to the punches my body feels like it should be done. Lisa, did you recover from your hike? Got some rest? Roxie, how's the head? Jody, how is your knee? Hope you rested it. Murphy, have fun with your folks this weekend. Ronne, what are you up to? We have a picnic Sunday, tomorrow DS has a race in the morning. Well, off to the shower. Talk to you later, Mary
 
Good Morning,

DD and I went for a 3 mile walk and the last two walks have been interesting, there is a skunk in their neighbor hood and we took the dog yesterday we saw and the dog went after it until we yanked her back and took of running this morning we didn't see it but the dog did so we had to do things different.

Mary-the head is getting better still a litte ache but I have probably only gotten 6 hours of sleep this week don't know what my problem is.
 
No workout for me, I'm still recovering! My right ankle is a bit swollen (I did twist it slightly on those big rocks up to Mt. Democrat) then the rest of the hike my ankle hit the top of my shoe probably from being a bit swollen after my ankle twist.

Mary, the finger injury was my friend. I did injure my elbow but it was sliding down a slide at a mine tour the prev day. KPC tends to go on and on for me too!

Jody, I just may have to try and break out into a yodel next time. That's funny!

Hope everyone has a nice long weekend!
 
Hi all

Lisa - glad you made it back down safely! That sounds like a scary one!

Mary - sounds like you're busy running around. Must be if you had to miss a workout!! Hope your DS does well tomorrow in the race.

Jody - good to hear you're resting that knee. It's so tempting just to keep working through an injury, isn't it? Then you really learn the hard way!

Didn't make it here yesterday. Just too much on. Today I did a KV yoga 30 mins thing which felt good. I must be really out of shape or something isn't quite right as my HR got up to 140!! Am feeling both depressed and stressed so it could be something to do with that.
Have a good weekend everyone!
 
OK, I figured out that the knee prob stemmed from doing ricochet/up and backs on a 2 riser step--definitely a lateral twist issue. I didn't have enough oomph to get the height on my weaker leg and so it twisted the knee while changing direction.

Yesterday i went back to water park w/ kids (wheeee!) - stairs not a problem even tho knee not "right" yet. Dang that place wears me out.

Today I did Cardio and Wts including abs and I am mentally starting fresh week on Sun.

Ronne, I hope you are feeling zippy-er soon. Post holiday, getting workout groove back, etc can be overwhelming.

Lisa, mine tour sounds fun. I'm taking AM. History II for my AA degree, currently reading westward settlement, so your pics and mine adventures are timely for me. Thanks!

Mary, I don't have KPC so I looked it up to check it out. Description states, "This workout is 68 minutes long." So in my opinion, it does take forever! I usually prefer a shorter workout.

Murhpy, Roxie and all, I hope you enjoy the long weekend. Well, I guess Ronne doesn't get a long weekend~ but have a good one. I am already enjoying b/c I went to bed around 9 last night and slept til 8. Did I mention that the water park wears me out?
 
Hi girls, haven't gotten a workout in yet, but I have high hopes! Lisa, how is your ankle? What a good idea to substitute bench press instead of all those dang push ups! Jody, be careful with your knee! I have never been able to do those richocets right! Do you get a season pass for the water park? Ronne, hope you feel better. When will your bathroom be done? I know I get out of sorts if things aren't going well! Roxie, what are you up to? Murphy, is your workout area back together? Had to go back to doctor yesterday, finger is infected, back on antibiotics. Haven't done weights in a week. I am tired of the cardio, but holding the weights hurts too much. Have a good day! Going Ito food festival tonite, birthday party tomorrow. DS did pretty good running this am, very humid here, not as well as last week. Talk to you later, Mary
 
Good Afternoon,

I have had a busy day. Found out I was suppose to be on call for oxygen pts. then my blow dryer shorted out and here in town is a college football game so the place is a zoo and I went to Long Johns to grab some lunch for DH and I and they gave me the wrong thing but I wasn't going back to get something else. DD and I didn't go for a walk it was suppose to rain and she had a hangover so I did Ellen Barretts Slo-Robics and Total Body Stretching. Tomarrow is my great nephews first birthday so we are going to Fairbury Neb. to celebrate.
