Yanti & Salty Beyond Ridiculous Manatees PART 6--CLOSED (Page 84)

Ok I'm ready, got a second cup of tea, moved to the computer rather than my phone, I'm sitting comfortably - bathroom breaks have been taken.

Here we go.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

I just ran 21.8km let's call it 22km and I felt every one of my 48 years on the last 4km.  I truly did!

Yesterday, I got in my 30 by walking around the art museum.  There is an awesome Chihuly glass exhibit.  Will probably end up going again to see it.

Today, I ran 51-ish minutes.  Was supposed to be 4 - 5 miles, got in 3.75 instead.

I have been off the web for the past few days. Ann and I went to Busch Gardens on Friday (loooong day), then to Cocoa Beach on Saturday to see DD2 and give her the car. Sunday was church, caroling with the youth group and catching up on the rest of the things that needed to be done for the weekend. Yikes, I needed to get back to work so that I could relax. I tried to read through all that has gone on with ya'll and I am barely getting through all that. Pleae know that you are all in my heart and on my mind as the days go by.

Prayers for all of you, please hug your kids and know that whatever happens in life, it is family and friends that matter most. 

Holy crap.  I have just barely hit 2500 KM in biking...  Congrats, that is an amazing accomplishment!

I got my JoGo on Saturday with a run/walk (my first in about a month).  I did 7x run 1 min, walk 2 min.  No achilles issues during or the next morning, so that is good.  Started a new exercise yesterday that has it mildly unhappy this am, but that is to be expected.  JoGo yesterday was a 30 min dog walk.  Only 3 more sleeps to Vegas!!

Well I managed to get my Jogo's in this weekend. I did 30 min of yoga friday, 2.5 hours of bike on saturday and just shy of 80 min running Sunday. The cold is all but gone. Still sniffling and coughing some, but the only training session I missed due to the cold was my Wed masters.

We were busy with church stuff all weekend. This week I'll be baking for the Christmas parties up in Colorado next weekend (cue Colorado Christmas by NGDB). AND we have tix to see the premiere showing of Le Mis tomorrow night!!!!!!

Hope all y'all had a great weekend. Happy Monday

I found this PDF which describes and illustrates the exercises I do.

When I do the "belt" one, I have Ben place resistance on the side of my knee, first one way and then the other.

I especially love the second one under "More Exercises to Strengthen . . ."

Thanks! Those look really helpful.

I LOVE Resolutionists!  Yes, I was one of them!  In May 2008 I weighed 246 lbs ......

Badazz, man! 

No freakin way.

Wow, and now you are a speed demon!  I'd have never thunk it, congrats! (grammer abuse intentional)

Yaaaaaaaaay! That is great news!!! 

Wachu going to Vegas for? 

Also great news. Not only is it better but you also have a preventative solution. I think that is good news/good news

To quietly meditate and enjoy the stars in the night sky.

Just for a little holly-day.  We were supposed to go to Disneyland last Christmas, but my doggy got sick so we didn't go.  The change fee to go to LV was way less than Disney, so off we go.  I got on Groupon Las Vegas a couple months ago and got quite a few half-price deals .

I can tell you that my orthotics made a world of difference for me--before them, my heel would hurt so bad running.  I actually wear mine all the time now, and my back doesn't hurt as much.
