Pentagenarians & Beyond: November 2, 2025

This morning I did Low Impact Sweat 2 and Live PHA Supersets on the Ball.

Valerie I had 13 years of baseball with port a potties and boys! I got very hardened to not pristine. LOL I find these day though that most gas stations rest rooms are quite good. I've been amazed sometimes in tiny towns out in nowhere with nice gas stations. I was surprised on my drive to and from my sisters, going through a lot of small towns, how many had Taco Bell's. I rarely ever need them, but I pass 3 exits with easy access TB's going to Marquette. Subways are even more prevalent. And you can get salads at Subway choosing from the stuff they have available for subs. On very rare occasions if I'm desperate I'll get hash browns somewhere.

Diane Sue I'm probably a bit too nice about the cats being in my space, but with a couple of them, it's better not to upset them. We have a walk in shower in the basement and at least 2 of them will go in it and lick up water when it's wet. But then, at least one will also jump in the bathtub to do that. LOL
 
I get enough exposure to port a potties on our regular bike trail. sitting right out in the sun. and also briefly on mountain passes for truckers chaining up. . oh my. Im not very "delicate" but they stretch tolerance. Do these people not care at all? if you can write your name in the snow, how come you cant hit that great big opening? DH wont use them and complains about "Men!". I agree most service station bathrooms are very nice. the TB's and Subways are not on the interstate exits we use. they are further in town or places we dont usually stop. We are all about efficiency. we pick places with easy on/off, decent bathrooms, and lots of gas pumps. there is a TB in Livingston right off our exit but we are about 20 min from home. not good timing.
i had not looked at TB menu in a long time.. it has a lot of good sounding things. i will remember for other trips. there is a subway in our first stop near Butte. they are not open early enough although the adjoining McD's is. so he gets an egg mcmuffin and i eat my apple. there used to be some things I would eat from McD's. used to be Wendys and Jack in the box. i guess theyre still around but not as visible as once.

our cat drinks out of the toilets or laps up water off the concrete. he has a bowl of fresh water. no clue why.
 
Today I did my usual yoga/mobility workout for 18 minutes. Saturday was my rest day and I caught up on some things around the house.

Judy, great job with Peloton Full Body Strength, Yin Yoga, walking on the walking pad, and Peloton Power Zone ride.

Diane Sue, great job with LMR Functional Mobility warm up and Low Impact cardio, Jessica Vallant Scoliosis workout, and CDorner Low Impact Cardio. The family photo shoot at the park sounds nice. I’m sure the fin picture will be something to treasure.

Cathy, great job with IMAX 4 combos plus blizzard blasts, Low Impact Sweat 2, and Live PHA Supersets on the Ball.

Valerie, great job with your mish mash of workouts.
 
I did a 35 min spin yesterday afternoon. this morning we did our usual park walk for 75 minutes. grocery shopping on the way home.


we had dinner with friends yesterday, the ones with the dog we picked up in missoula. hes such a cute dog but a real handful! still a puppy.

great news Carolyn!
 
Yesterday I did a 45-minute Peloton ride. Today I went to the gym with my husband and did an upper body workout.

Carolyn-That is great news!

Cathy-Great job with Low Impact Sweat 2, Live PHA Supersets on the Ball and STS 2 Mat Yoga.

Valerie-Great job with the spin and park walk.
