October Sunshine: Who cares?!

Hi All. Sorry to have been gone for so long. Today I started STS M1. I am not sure if I am going to do the whole series, but I plan to do the first mesocycle. I figure the new series should be done and out by the time I am finished or around Thanksgiving. Sorry no personals.

Murphy
 
Good morning! Quick hello to all! I did YouTube fit by Julia, tabata/strength/hiit. Hi Murphy! I have to get to a work meeting, that clock moves too fast! Or, more likely I lose track of time! Good day to all! Mary
 
Hello everyone! It's cold and drizzling here (I'm blaming Ronne! Feels like her kind of weather!), I did do ICE CUB, was hoping for a little walk if the sun ever comes out like they say. It's noon and 38 degrees but suppose to get to 58. I don't see how it'll warm up that much. I miss my bike ride! And tomorrow I'll have to take my wet route. Hello to Murphy! I may start sts this winter. I want to get some LB lifting in so long as I'm careful of not angering this fankle, doesn't seem to take much, grrrrrr, but I'm trying to be good!
 
Ronne, had to page back to respond...to remember what you said. Another trip! How long will this one be? Glad you're liking ice, maybe one day I'll be able to do more of them...... But then if it's nice weather I think I'd much rather be on the bike. Who knew that would happen!?!
 
Hello

Murphy - enjoy STS!

Mary - I must try one of hers, she looks good.

Lisa - thank! It's sunny and bright here actually ... We're looking at two and a half weeks (which fits in with flights).

Another ICE workout, LIS Cardio 2 only. I'm feeling a bit tired and sore so didn't want to do too much. It was enough! Think I'll do yoga tomorrow, I'm feeling in need of something more gentle.
 
HI girls! Today did Cathe live, for some reason it felt hard today, maybe the weather? Everyone sent their chilly here! Ronne, Costa Rica is beautiful! DH and I had a stop on a cruise once, I could have stayed forever! Lisa, 38? All ready??? I mowed yesterday, 80 and sunny with a perfect breeze, today 50, rainy and damp! I will be glad to stop mowing tho, I am done! Hello to everyone else! Not much here today, I like that! Football tomorrow and Saturday, Sunday is youngest' birthday. Next weekend we are going to DH's college to meet up with his friends, and in 3 weeks we get to go to Boston to see eldest DS! I'm getting so excited! I thought over time it would get easier, I miss them so, not any more tears at least! Just missing their spirit in the house! Good day to all! Mary
 
Hi all,
I hope to get in a workout later today. So far, just some light walking. I hurt my foot so no aerobics. I see the podiatrist today, hopefully it just needs to rest.

Ronne - so jealous. Costa Rica is on my list - my long list of places to go.
Waves to all.

Murphy
 
A 23.5 mile ride today, Suki ran alongside bike for about 3.5 of it, got back home and she is passed out, mission accomplished! She was so antsy with the cruddy weather yesterday. Mary, Today going to be 70s! Sounds like some fun times ahead! Murphy, oh no, what happened to your foot? Let us know what the podiatrist says! I can't believe how long it's taking me to recover my foot problem, it was so tight and sore-ish feeling in the cold yesterday, I sure hope one day I can hike again (and do Cathe step). Ronne, sometimes less is more, but bam, the scale was my friend this morning so pushed it in the ride today! I'd really like to get a new fitness tracker that pairs with a chest strap because I swear I'm still working harder than the HR says....but then the cost and really not sure it's worth it to have a bit more accurate data. I'm such a data geek!
 
Good Evening,

My headache finally broke today thank goodness. Its cold here today but suppose to be in the eighties this weekend. I did KCM Stepboxing Kickbox Premix this morning.

Lisa-I don't think the troche hormone is causing my headaches.
 
Hi everyone

Mary - sounds like you're going to be busy. Enjoy the quiet for now. I've finished mowing, did the last one last week. Now I'm raking up leaves ...

Murphy - hope your foot gets better soon.

Lisa - I gave up on my HR thing a few years ago, the battery went and I just couldn't be bothered to get a new one. I'm never sure how accurate they are.

Roxie - glad you're feeling better.

A really quiet work day today, hoping things pick up soon. Did some yoga, it was actually too slow for me which is very unusual, I got a bit bored.
No great plans this weekend. We're probably going to book our flights tomorrow.
BTW, has anyone else had problems with the emojis on here? I can't use them anymore, they always disappear.
 
Quick fly by.... RWH CST today. My BFF is actually coming by and we're going to go for a ride. It'd be nice for her to learn to enjoy cycling! Ronne, DH can get me the fitness tracker I want using his mileage from his United acct! Now you know how I always feel when doing yoga!
 
Hi all! I did IMAX 2 today, half of it. Now my feet hurt, partly from a jog the other day and now the step. I guess its plantar fasciitis.

Lisa, I want to ride, too!

Ronne, Costa Rica for jungle or ocean or I'm guessing both.

Mary, I'm still Ohio bound in Nov. I want to hike Cuyahoga Valley Natl on Mon the 21st. Can you join me? Suggestions for particular trail? I joined some Akron area hiking meetups with the intention of perusing the popular get togethers.

I'm on my 4th Fitbit Charge HR, 3 replacements for original purchase last Christmas.

Roxie, glad your headache is gone. Murphy, I want to travel as well.
 
My BFF had a great time riding yesterday, we went almost 30 miles. Today DH and I went 15 miles, bike was sounding funny, got home and DH looked at it and the tread on the tired is worn thru and the tube was poking out, then it blew while it was sitting in the garage as we got my old bike set up. So glad it held out until we got home! Now I'm sad, it'll probably be in the shop and I'll have try to ride my old bike....I know I won't get as far but I feel stronger than when I started this journey in feb!

Jody, yea, I'm a bit put off by fitbit quallity of this tracker.
 
Well, I did it! I rode my old regular bike 27 miles! At times it was actually easier than the pedal assist one since it's so heavy (and I've always been challenging myself not to use the pedal assist unless I needed it). My HR and calories (per the same measurement in the Fitbit) was about the same as when I push myself on the pedal assist. Moral? I am getting exercise with the pedal assist and it's making me stronger so that I can ride my regular bike at times too. It was nice riding a light nimble bike, but I'm sure I'll still want to ride the pedal assist bike too. Wow, I think I'm turning into a real cyclist ! :)
 
Hi everyone

Lisa - well done! You can definitely call yourself a cyclist. Isn't it great to be able to compare yourself to where you were a few months and see how you've improved?

Jody - yes, we're planning to do a bit of both, activity and lazing around.

So, we booked the flights - we're going in July next year.
Had a nice weekend, nothing special but relaxing.
Did ICE RSM today. I really don't see what was intermediate about it. It's harder than Hard Strikes and I was pretty wiped out by the end.
 
Hi all! Well, today I rode into Boulder. That's 24 miles, double the elevation gain of yesterday. I'm feeling really accomplished! I'll still be glad to get the pedal assist back for taking Suki and not huff and puff and feel like I'm going to die. But now I know I can do the regular bike with DH when we want a really hard workout. Ronne, yes it is nice to see the improvements! So often with Cathe I'll pause the w/o when the going gets tough, but on the bike, I've learned to just keep spinning those legs and set landmarks that if by the time I get to that landmark if I have to stop, then i can. 99% of the time I keep going! So much is mental!
 
Good Evening,

This morning I did StudioSweat Bad Mood Buster Spin workout. It is 90 degrees here today and really windy suppose to be a high of 70 tomorrow..

Lisa-that would be a beatiful ride.
 
Hi everyone

Lisa - impressive ride. Do you stop in Boulder or just turn around and come back?

Did a selection of MM from ICE, Bis, Tris and shoulders plus Icy Core 2. Sun is shining and it's the calm before the storm with work. I've had a few quiet days and it's all going to get really busy again so I'm going to make the most of it this afternoon, have a coffee and chill out.
 
Hello ladies! Today did another Julia workout, a little brutal! Ronne, beautiful here too, I think I have to go and mow again, I just want it to stop growing!!! Lisa, when DH retires you two will be tooling around the whole country! Roxie, send that 70 degrees here! I'm ready for a little chilly! Hello to Jody and Murphy! Just some yard work today and getting my silver colored! Good day to all! Mary
 
Hi everyone! Well I started CTX UB, got thru back, chest, shoulders, and my levator scalpular (muscle from neck to shoulder blade) was just so sore and tight. I could have pushed thru since I had a massage scheduled but instead decided to call it done. I think the manual bike has my arms out from my body and I;m hunching my shoulders as I try to get up the hills. So, sure I can ride those big hills in Boulder but not at this cost! I feel like I'm maturing ! HAHAHA. Just another thing to be aware of with limitations. There's a thread about Arthritis on the boards, so much is what I have to do and so glad it's not just me and have good company. Always nice to see others going thru limitations.

Anyways, Ronne, At the end of the bikeway a lot of cyclists have a snack from their bag and turn right back around, that's what i do, if I stop for too long I can't get going again and it's harder. Lots of other cyclists plan their rides around coffee/food, I just like being out in nature. I chilled out this afternoon too after my massage, I deserve it! What do you think of the MM? 3 all together seems a lot to me

Mary, good to see you! I love that pic of you all alone in the bleachers! It's cooled off here today (wind blew it in yesterday), Sunday was just too hot for this time of year (80's!)

Roxie, I think you get our weather about a day later :)
