October Sunshine: Who cares?!

Hi everyone

Quick post from me - as predicted work has gone crazy. Got lots to get through. Managed to fit in ICE LIS (2 plus BB). I'm really loving that one. Sorry for lack of personals.
 
Good Evening,

Yesterday I did Ice Upper Body and this one is tough even though the weights are light definitely feeling it today. No workout this morning my car overheated last night on my way home so Dh took me to work and when he picked me up at 1 he had the boat with him so we headed to the lake beautiful day.
 
Hi everyone
Got a little bit more time today, phew.

Lisa - well done on the rest day, you definitely deserve it! Re your question about combined MMs, I did think that it was maybe a bit much combining three but I felt pretty good by the end of it.

Mary - glad you're joining in the ICE party!

Roxie - I know what you mean about ICE UB. I don't really think most of this series is Intermediate.

Did ICE MTB for the first time. Started off quite easy but I was feeling it by the end. Another one where I go 'Intermediate, really?'
I'm probably having a rest day tomorrow - there's a significant birthday happening here ... I probably won't be back till Monday. Have a nice weekend everyone!
 
Hello! Today did Julia from YouTube. Ronne, are you joining us here in the 50's?? Happy day to your! And have fun! Lisa, how was your rest day? Roxie, can't believe you still have your boat out! Almost November! Isn't that crazy? Hello to Murphy and Jody! Football tomorrow, the we are going to DH's college roommate reunion thus weekend, I'll be back Tuesday, seems so far away! Good weekend to all! Mary
 
Hey all. Just wanted to stop by and tell you why I have been absent. Well, I was in this thing where we were dancing and someone stomped on my foot with their wedge heels! Nothing is broken, just badly bruised. The doctor told me to stay off the foot as much as possible, no exercise and to wear one of those soft shoe/boots on the foot. I can drive to work and I have a desk job, so I am still able to work. But, I cannot do much else. I thought about sneaking in some floor exercises but any wrong move aggravates the foot. I see the doctor again around election day. I hope to be up and about around then. :-(

Good Evening,

I did StudioSweat 30 Minute Spin I was soaked in sweat.

Murphy-that stinks

Mary-we wouldn't be able to go out today way to cold but this weekend looks promising.

Ronne-I don't think she knows what intermediate is.
 
Rides yesterday and today. Yesterday I took it too easy, avg HR was only 86, today I got it up yo a respectable 108 average.

Roxie, gotta get all the warm weather fun in!

Murphy, ouch! How long before it'll heal ? Seems it's taking longer to heal these days, darn age!

Ronne, I thought you were much younger than Mary and I. Surely it's not the big 5-0!

Mary, I think those kids keep you just as busy even though they're in college!
 
Hi everyone! I've been doing Intensity series lately- all workouts modified and mish moshed to come in around 35 min. Ideally I'd like to do that with each series- we'll see.
Ronne, Happy BD and congrats on vacation planning. OMG I can't commit to anything.
Mary speaking of travel, did you see my Nov 21 date at CVNP? Or maybe a coffee before or after? Keep me in mind! Go Team : )
Murphy, what rotten luck, like you haven't been sidelined enough? I wish you a speedy recovery!
Roxie, I agree! She's just continued to increase her fitness level. I did a section of bc, I think they used 8 pounds for rows, how cute! I used 20s and went slower, but you don't see her use 8s for back too often.
Lisa, do you think you will be able to ride all season or stop in winter? Are you close to Denver? I'm asking because I saw a cheap flight recently. : )
 
Good Morning,

I did StudioSweat Spin Hills and Drills Pt1 and my sit bones are not happy with me and now we are headed to the lake.
 
Just a 20 mile ride, but on my old one and into head winds! Jody, I'm only 25 min from Denver airport. I have a spare guest room for you if you aren't expecting the Ritz :) I'm hoping to ride most of the winter, there may be a few weeks there's too much snow but mostly snow is gone after a couple days here. My new tires on my ebike has nice traction too! Roxie, my sit bones aren't happy with me either....I think it's the old bike seat being harder. Have fun at the lake!
 
Hello ladies! Just another gorgeous day here. took a rest day yesterday, well, I did do a walk (and felt it in my foot, boo, it's the uphills, can't believe it's still bothering me but I'm still plugging thru being careful), and we raked leaves, Ugh! Today DH and I did a 32 mile ride, it was such a pretty day. Ronne, do tell, who's/what birthday?
 
Hi all. Just checking in. The foot is coming along but I am still sidelined. The doctor said it is taking longer because I am still getting treatment plus I am on a blood thinner. Oh well. I have another 2 weeks and then I see the doctor again, hopefully he will have good news.

Ronne/Roxie - I agree, I am not sure Cathe's definition of "intermediate" matches Webster's definition. Unless of course it's the "new intermediate" (think "new math). ;-p
Lisa - the ride sounds nice, not so much with the leaves. We are covered in leaves. Ugh is right.
Waves to Mary and Jody.

Murphy
 
Hi girls! Quick hello, did a Julia workout. Watching the Indians game! And flipping to the Cav's! Busy night for the remote!
 
Hi everyone

Yes, it was the big 50! Had a very lazy day on Friday, then friends came round for dinner that evening. Had a great time with them. Then the next morning we went to the station and headed north east. Went up to Northumberland (dropping DD off with family on the way) where we stayed in a luxurious B&B for two nights. Did a bit of walking on the beach, visited a ruined castle, and just general pootling. Then went to Newcastle for one night and went to a really fab restaurant with amazing, modern food, all foams, purees and powders and beautifully presented. Then we got the train back yesterday and picked DD up on our way back.
I'm pretty pooped today (this was all a surprise, I knew nothing about it). Managed ICE CUB today and it didn't feel as hard as first time round.

Mary - go whoever you support!

Roxie - puke status is not what I'm aiming for at the moment!

Murphy - good luck with the foot!

Lisa - hope your butt's not too sore ...

Jody - sounds like a good workout plan.
 
Just cycling here, trying to enjoy the nice weather while we have it. Yesterday 23 miles with neighbor but it was so blustery....30 mph winds, ugh! Today 24.5 miles with DH and it was splendid. Ronne, I can't believe you are 50 already, where did the time go? I got some new bike shorts too. Mary, who's controling the remote? Roxie, I bet you'd enjoy bicycling outside if you had good bike trails. Murphy, when is your 50 (you are the baby of the group)?
 
Hi Lisa and everyone

Lisa - I guess you have to make the most of it. What will you do when the weather gets bad? I wouldn't like cycling in that wind even with pedal assist!

No workout for me today. Had to go to a work meeting and couldn't spare more time away from my desk. Feeling a bit glum after my lovely break.
 
HI ladies! Haven't worked out yet, waiting for Cathe live to upload for the day, yesterday did an upper body one. Ronne, what a lovely birthday! 50 isn't so bad! Glum here too, chilly, raining and windy. Good day to just loll around on the couch! Lisa, haven't you had bike shorts? I can't imagine how sore your butt would get with all those miles! Roxie, no puking for me either! Jody, what day of the week will you be here?? I will look at my calendar! Murphy, hope your foot mends quickly, very frustrating for you. Well, on Tuesday, the Indians and Cav's won! Last night wasn't so good! But we have more chances! And I only get the remote if I'm the only one here! Why is that?? Good day to all! Mary
