KK's April Check-In

[Netta]

Good morning,

Hope everyone had a good weekend. I got some yardwork and housework done. Got in a good, hard bike ride yesterday. Think I'm ready for Sunday's ride down in the valley.

Today was Pyramid Upper Body premix only and abs. Good workout. Used my 20#ers today. Couldn't finish the 2nd round of pikes on the ball. Good workout.

Rhea, hope your neck is feeling better. Did the massage help? Anything you can do to strengthen that area?

Becky, so glad you are back home now. Sounds like just a little bit longer and you will be done for this year?

Karen, good job on getting the book finished. You've really had your nose to the grindstone. Where will you be touring?

Good morning!

Glad to "see" everyone here. No workouts for me, no painting either. Darn neck is worse then it was yesterday. It is the large muscle that holds up your head, so it is a difficult one to heal. Sitting is the worst thing for it, so here I am at work today....hmmm. I might try a bit of cardio today just to get some blood flow to it. I've been stretching, etc, but I guess not enough. I might even throw in some yoga. I'll just have to play it by ear.
Well, gotta get off the computer. "Talk" to you later.

Good afternoon ladies.

Yesterday I ran for 6 miles...ran 50 minutes then walked 20. Today I ran 30 minutes. Doing a lot of running lately since I can study if I work hard to steady my head.

Karen, that is wonderful how your DH helps you with your edits. Brian has been my "practice" patient all throughout these past 2 years of medical school. If I had to learn a new maneuver, I'd practice it on him. He did draw the line when it came to a rectal exam!

Jeanette, we bit the bullet and bought P90X this past weekend. We got a pull-up bar and installed it. Every time DH walks by it he does a couple. I think he's excited about getting so buff. Congrats on doing 20# today. That is impressive!

Rhea, I hope you feel better soon. I hurt my neck a couple of years ago (while using my teeth to open something...very dumb thing to do) and I know how long it takes to get back to full capacity. You'll get there though.

Anyway, must get back to studying. Tomorrow is my last day of actual class. I have lots of tests these next 3 weeks and then boards in 6 weeks, but at least NO MORE LECTURE!!! So happy!
