Good morning.

I did Jane Adams yoga this morning for 18 minutes. I might do some foam rolling later. Have a good day everyone.

I tried my usual Valvoline on Thursday to see if they had my cabin filter. Third place. This kid, went and looked and said they don’t actually make the one I need anymore, but Autozone had one that would work and he could go get one. So, I did my shopping and went back and got it. They had no other customers and one of the guys said he’d top off my fluids. I said good luck and told him about the hood latch, but it opened and closed with no problem.

Yesterday I did kickboxing and then Stacked Sets Upper Body. Today I did Boss Loops Glutes and Core. Dentist tomorrow for a cleaning, but if I get up early I should be able to get a workout in.

Valerie spending that much time in smoke would be hard. We had about 2-3 days of it earlier this summer and I can’t imagine weeks or months. I hope your DH is able to get his tooth taken care of.

Hi Carolyn and Judy.

good morning. ideas about riding this morning went away when i woke up to rain. my room doesnt get the sound very well so im not sure how long, but definite rain and not just a light shower. we need whole days of it, but got several hours worth. it did change the plans again . no ride today. will do something else.
i dont know how widespread the rain was, but not enough to put out fires. this was likely motly western WA and probably the west side of the mountains. eastern WA has fires every year but the last decade has been brutal. when you look at fire maps they show the area on fire now, and also the areas that have recently burned. like a gigantic awful jigsaw puzzle, the new fires often burn to the perimeter of the older fires. the fires are in rugged country, not easily put out.

CAthy you lucked out! DH will see dentist late Tuesday to get the verdict but then he has to schedule what to do with it after its decided if the tooth can be saved.

Today I did LiTE Cardio Party, 39 minutes, 228 calories burned, average heart rate 117, and maximum heart rate 149.

Cathy, great job with kickboxing, Stacked Sets Upper Body, and Boss Loops Glutes and Core. I’m glad that the car issues were easily resolved.

Valerie, it’s good that you got some much needed rain in your area.

Hello to Judy.

Saturday I did a 30-minute Peloton Ride and PT work, yesterday I did a 40-minute walk and today I did a 45-minute Peloton Ride and 10 minutes of Arms & Light Weights.

Carolyn-Great job with Jane Adams Gentle Yoga and LiTE Cardio Party.

Cathy-Great job with kickboxing, Stacked Sets Upper Body and Boss Loops Glutes and Core.

Valerie-I’m glad you got some rain. It sounds like your area really needed it.

I didn’t get to work out today. I had an appointment that took up my exercise time.

Judy, good job with the Peloton rides, PT, walking, and Arms & Light Weights.

Hello to Cathy and Valerie.

medical appts yesterday and PT. planned on riding today and i would have but DH said air was too smoky. the wind is blowing smoke from eastern WA to western today. i don't think it's that bad but he would not go so i will do the spin bike here instead. and many sets of stretches. i dont need a hip replacement, but joint space has narrowed so but i am going to get a cortisone hip injection sometime after they clear it with insurance. i feel like im going a long time without doing any cardio so now its tomorrow when the wind should have changed and cleared out the smoke.

oh crap i just read Dolly Parton died. Im not a fan of country music but i was a fan of her. what a wonderful kind generous person.

I agree Valerie, I was never a big country music fan but I loved Dolly Parton. My parents were country music fans and I grew up listening to her and Loretta Lynn and all of the country music stars that were popular in the 70's.
