This morning I did Jane Adams Gentle Yoga for 18 minutes. Yesterday I was at the hospital with my daughter. They are getting the infection under control and still working on other issues. Metastatic Breast Cancer is an awful disease that affects so many things.
Cathy, nice job with your Finished Step combos, Restorative Yoga, LMR 2 Elevated Upper Body, and P30 Stretch.
Judy, good job with the Peloton ride, restorative yoga, walking, and Peloton lower body strength.
Valerie, good job with therapy and the trip to Costco.
Diane Sue, great job with LMR2 Elevated Upper Body, back, biceps, and shoulders.
Have a wonderful day everyone.

did a road ride this morning on our usual trail. we took a bit longer than usual. we saw several mergansers om the water and then saw a beaver. we were stopped at half way to turn around when i saw either a beaver or an otter floating right under the bridge we were on. no they're not unusual or rare but it still is fun to see one unexpectedly. they are not small!
Carolyn that has to be incredibly difficult for you as well as your daughter. treatments are much more effective than they used to be. that doesnt make them easy. hugs to you both. hoping she continues to improve and can go home soon.
ETA i forgot to comment on the snake but remembered after Cathy mentioned it. when we are in MT there are more snakes. weve seen a few but not many rattlers. I'm respectfully nervous about them. western WA has lots of garter snakes. we have seen rattlers in Eastern WA. I would worry about pets messing with them. i would assume they are trouble until proved otherwise. i think they are fascinating but i mostly dont have to worry about running into one.

Things rather steam rolled today, not getting enough sleep, dawdling over breakfast, so I ended up up doing Stretch Max with the band and then went to my parents.
Valerie seeing beavers and otters in the wild would be really cool. I've seen both up north, but it was a long time ago in the UP.
Diane Sue, snakes in general don't bother me, but I also don't live where they are venomous. We have a small rattlesnake here, but they are shy and endangered and in very specific areas. Unless you are a young child or have compromised immunity they will just make you a bit ill and it would be extremely rare for them to kill anyone.
Carolyn it's good that your daughter is in a place where she's getting good care and I'm sure she appreciates you being close enough to visit her now.

Hi Judy.
Today I did JS Stride and Step, 30 minutes, 188 calories burned, average heart rate 123, and maximum heart rate 158.
Valerie, good job with your road ride. It’s nice that you saw a merganser and an otter.
Cathy, nice job with Stretch Max with Band after not getting enough sleep. Having a slower morning probably felt good.

This morning I did a Great Glutes Mix of discs, stability ball, floor and bonus chair. It's a sunny and decent temp day but I can only walk half the paths. The lake back in the fields vanished overnight, but apparently the yard is not as thirsty.

warm and sunny again today. lovely! we walked the park this morning, 1 hr 20 minutes. lots of birds but nothing unusual or special. its weird how all winter when its raining alot the paths are firm and fairly dry. in spring, with less rain, they become a mud hole! i wear boots and plod right through. thought it would be much busier but we didnt see anyone until the last few minutes of walking.

Saturday was a rest day. Yesterday I did a 45 minute Peloton Ride and 10 minutes of Arms & Light Weights. Today I did a 20 minute Peloton Ride and an hour of Restorative Yoga.
Carolyn- I’m so sorry for what your daughter is going through. It’s good that you are close enough to visit her often. Like Valerie said, the treatments are much more effective now. I hope she improves quickly and can go home soon. Great job with Jane Adams Gentle Yoga and JS Stride and Step.
Valerie-Great job with your road ride and park walk.
Cathy-Great job with Stretch Max with the band and the Great Glutes Mix. It looks like a couple more days of cold weather this week then we start to see some warmer temps.
