Good morning. Friday I did balance work and yoga. Saturday I went for a 5-mile road walk first thing in the morning, before people started moving around. Traffic was light, and nobody tried to run me over. I also raked leaves for about three hours and took the dog for several walks. It would be interesting to know how many total miles I walked. Sunday was my day off, simply from lack of time. I really wanted to do some sort of workout.
Judy – I envy your weather. Wow, how lovely! We are still in the 80s, which is better than the 100’s of course.
Carolyn – Thanks for starting us off every week. I hope you had a good weekend too!
Valerie – I hope you had safe travels over the weekend and that your back feels a little better.
Hi to Cathy, wherever you are!

we did the drive yesterday. mostly ok except for one big crash near Missoula that stopped traffic for at least half an hour. nothing to do but wait. a lot of folks were driving over the concrete divider and driving the wrong way up an on ramp! or backing up the on ramp. didn't cause any further wrecks but we just waited it out. people in more rural areas are so careless about merging onto an interstate. they dont even look to see if they can merge or if there are already cars in the right lane. we were guessing that someone did something stupid like that and forced the truck to crash since this was right after an on ramp merge. my back and hip aren't especially happy but they never are. make the best of it. hopefully some info in the next 2 weeks.
shannon that is what we do when we ride on roads. pick right time of day and day of the week and get out there early. so far we haven't gotten run over.

Valerie - Sunday morning used to be a great time to walk. It's always very quiet until people start leaving for church. But now I've started going to church, so I don't have time. Sigh. I know we don't discuss religion here, so that'll be the only time I mention the "C" word, LOL. It's just that I really do miss those Sunday morning walks. Too bad I have to work. It's very quiet out there in the middle of the day.
Today I did Rev’d Up Rumble, 41 minutes, 228 calories burned, average heart rate 117, and maximum heart rate 144.
Judy, great job with the Peloton walk, Peloton rides, and 1 hour Restorative Yoga.
Shannon, nice job with balance and yoga, the early morning road walk, and raking leaves for 3 hours!
Valerie, I’m glad that you made it safely and the traffic accident delay wasn’t too long.

Shannon sunday morning is one of the best times to bicycle otherwise busy roads. mostly its the quietest traffic morning. no commute and most weekend adventures start saturday. im not a religious person so i will take advantage of peace and quiet and fewer people trying to kill me on the roads. thi is a farming area. even crop harvesting is less busy sunday morning. we usually are done 10-10;30 that is a lot of walking along with yoga and balance work.
i did my stretches this morning after none yesterday. turns out we need to drive somewhere today and get our truck serviced so our hopes of a "drive" day are done. its only an hour each way.
carolyn when i get my hip fixed rev'd up rumble will be the workout i will want to try. i always likeed it.

I’m still out here! Last week was a weird week. Saturday I drove to Cleveland and did the zoo, then I drove to Marietta OH. Got up yesterday morning to head out and was immediately in WV. nice drive, though curvy and (what Valerie would consider baby elevation chamges). This morning I did Boss Bands Total Body and Restorative Yoga. My sister has an old ankle injury, high school, that’s causing her issues and so our hiking is minimal. Saving it for the zoo on Wednesday. It’s a BIG zoo. We’re going to an area for sunset tonight. Fall colors are still good here.
Shannon do you have a phone that tracks steps?

Today I did a 20-minute Peloton upper body workout, a 20-minute Peloton ride and my PT work.
Shannon-Great job with your balance work, yoga and 5 mile walk. Getting out early for your walk was a good idea. This week isn’t as nice weather wise as last week was. It’s been mostly overcast today and it is cooling off a bit.
Carolyn-Great job with Rev’d Up Rumble.
Cathy-Great job with Boss Bands Total Body and Restorative Yoga.
Valerie-Great job getting your stretches in. I hope you can get your hip fixed soon.

Good morning. I visited a friend after work yesterday, so I didn’t have time for a workout. I guess I’ll have to make it up this weekend. Last Friday, I worked in spreadsheets all day, doing lots of repetitive moves. Guess what? I managed to give myself tendonitis in my left hand. Wonderful. It’s going to take forever to get rid of it since I have to type all day, five days a week. Sigh.
Carolyn – good work with Rev’d Up Rumbe.
Valerie – Bummer about needing to get your truck serviced. But we have to take care of those things!
Cathy – You’re back! I’m glad all is well. I hope you and your sister have a good visit, even without hiking. Yes, I have a phone that tracks steps, but I don’t like to carry it. I remember the good old days when phones were plugged into the wall, and when you left the house, you were out of reach, LOL.
Judy – Nice job with the Peloton upper body and ride, and your PT work. Hey, enjoy the cloudy weather. Sometimes I wonder if the sky still makes clouds. Although things are looking promising this weekend.

Today I did P 30 Perfect Pump Upper Body, 37 minutes, 172 calories burned, average heart rate 118, and maximum heart rate 151. I tried to handle an estate issue with a quick phone call before my workout. It didn’t go as planned. I spent 30 minutes on the phone explaining my problem, being transferred to 3 different people only to be cut off by mistake! I was not in the mood for a workout after that but I did it anyway.
Valerie, Rev’d Up Rumble is a fun workout and easy to modify if necessary. I hope that you can get back to it after your hip surgery.
Cathy, nice job with Boss Bands Total Body and Restorative Yoga. I’m glad that you’re having good trip.
Judy, great job with Peloton Upper Body, Peloton ride, and PT.

it was routine service on our truck. here it works best to use the dealer so the drive yesterday was worth getting it done. we have an odd battery and oil filter and a lot of the lesser known places may not have the right thing. batteries have gotten WAY more expensive than they used to be but cant live without one! over $300 with the install fee. Ford ranger truck. the battery is not a simple connect/disconnect thing.
went to the park today and did a hike. 2 hours and 40 minutes. not a hard one but definitely uphill and down . the elevation here is about 6000 feet and that alone makes it hard. there is no way to acclimate but go do something and breathe hard. we saw lots of critters although only foot prints on the hike itself. bison, wolves coyotes and a grizzly bear. lot of bear prints there as fresh snow and mud so we got good prints to look at. didnt see any of the print makers. it is hunting season here( deer elk) so we will stick to the park. it is way way less busy than a month ago. like 5% of the previous population. much better. i will put up with colder ad a little snow to dodge a million people.
my back got kinda sore but my hip did ok. its extremely weird how this gets better and worse for no particular reason.
