Too early in the morning for me to have worked out yet, at least on a workday. Yesterday was a fitness skate at the Veloway and this afternoon will be my final ride on the Greenbelt.
Thursday...
Rocky Hill Ranch
Next week...
Colorado, Rocky Mountain high!

Woo whee Stacey. Same here. It's not early, it's just that I didn't
make it to the Q yet today. I'm expecting a visitor from the WELL to
roll into town today (sabrina) that I promised to plug in to the Q on her
pass through Austin. She left a message on my recorder last night from
somewhere out in West Texas.

Well, I like the Q. I think it is too crowded though. You sometimes have to wait several minutes before a weight machine is available.

What is your typical workout federico? It didn't used to be crowded at all
but adding 2 million dollars worth of equipment and putting a major promotional effort has packed the place. I wonder how far they're going to take this before it takes a Mexico City or Calcuttalike atmosphere?
I like the 2nd row of machines from the far aerobics room. I like it that they give you a self test before you get started.

Workout? I don't know what it is about this summer in Maine; it has either been too rainy or too rainy, and when it rains, I become too depressed to workout. I mean, it isn't as if I don't belong to a "club" with good machines and a *great* view (actually, just a room in my house with a few machines and a window overlooking the lake), it is just that rain seems to be such a disincentive to working out.
Oh well, I suppose I will get my act together and workout today (unless I find a good movie on Directv :)

Solution: position your exercise bike in front of the tv and run the tv
off of pedal power. I didn't work out yesterday, I spent the day walking
miles and miles at the Whole Life Expo. The guys doing "acromassage"
sure got a workout. Can you imagine suspending another person upside
down with your feet while giving them a massage. These guys did that for
several hours. Acromassage they call it. Wild stuff.
Tomorrow, the Q, or maybe later on today.

Wokred out at a gym yesterday... ewwww yucky. But as was proved last year,
winter is a hard time to maintain my regular exercise stuff -- cycling,
skating and running. So the gym would be a supplement. It was a Bally's but
REALLY old and dingy feeling. Not the best time but I enjoyed the sweating.

Thanks Paul, for the info on browsing. I've gone back and looked at a few of the older conferences and read old responses. How sad I was this a.m. when I read
the first entry into this section... "my final ride on the Greenbelt" My I do
still miss Austin an awful lot.

Went for a skate Wednesday afternoon/evening. I had planned on a 10-mile out and back (just a quick muscle mover) but my competitive nature got the best of me. When I arrived at the hill up to Chatfield Dam, there were two men skating ahead. Well, I had to see if I could pass them. And when it looked as if they were going to continue up the sttep grade... well, I had to also.
Once I beat them to the top *giggle* I stopped and chatted with them for awhile and they talked about a new route back to the Platte path.
It added another few miles but I discovered a new trail and new rates of speed coming down from those hills (yikes!)
Total a little over 18 miles.
Felt good.

I am on a fitness binge again... sneaking in skates during lunch, a run here and a bike ride after work. In three weeks I think I'll enter an inline marathon (either that or a foothill century ride). I certainly miss some of my old routines from Austin but nothing beats cycling in the mountains!
Today I snuck in a 12 mile skate between summer school and the computer center and took a 32 mile bike ride after coming home to an empty house.

Specialized makes a good range of bikes.
Sounds like you would want a Hard Rock.
Can fit knobby or slick tires (off road and on road)
sits more upright so it is not as ideal for aggressive trail riding but can certainly take you through Zilker!

I remember when I was 5'2"
those were the best years of my life
everything seemed to work out just fine
but then my workouts went so well too
just pick-up baseball and basketball and football games with friends after school and on weekends
and at night I'd go up to Rec Hall at Penn State
hardly ever got kicked out
lotsa stuff to do there
indoor track, way up high, that went around the main gym
lotsa basketball courts
squash courts, handball courts, raquetball courts
weight rooms
badminton is intense indoors
during a special Christmas 2 week period, every year, kids got coaching on
indoor track stuff (with races), and even boxing (with headgear and bloody noses
and real short rounds and no more'n 3)
and there was a summer indoor swimming program for kids who were no taller'n
5'2" that was taught by Penn State football assistant coaches
gymnastics room (trampoline was wide and long, and high up off the floor---like, 4 or 5 feet)
and there were these cool belts you could wear that came down from the ceiling
---you'd put 'em on and they could let you be like Peter Pan, swoopin' around
through the air---I did get kicked out once for doin' that
they were supposed to be used to practice floor exercise routines, and they
were hooked to the wall when not in use
tennis courts were clear across campus---it was fun to play at night on clay courts
one time I played against some women on the tennis team over at their tennis
courts
they complained about me serving too hard against 'em
they weren't like you, Stace
if it were you, it'd sure enough be me complainin' about you serving too hard
as I get older and more'n and more'n stooped over, I like to think how it's
getting me closer to that ultimate height where I can return to the best
years of my life and everything'll work out just fine again with great
workouts

Drink one cup of *black* coffee. Then work out furiously for 25 minutes,

actually it doesn't make that much sense.
Fat is fat soluble. Must have fat to burn fat.
Yes, your body will burn adipose tissue, but it takes longer to convert.
Plans like that can also backfire, leading to a slower metabolism as well as the hoarding of calories... if your body thinks it's starving, it'll be really stingy with the calories you do give it. Lowering your metabolism.
Have a banana Paul... the potassium is excellent for you, the caloric intake is minimal but at least you've got something besides muscle to burn!

I'm saying that you're doing it all wrong as far as your body is concerned.
It's the only one you have... don't make it work so hard in some ways.
Push it to the limit with exercise and continue to allow your positive attitude to affect your body image but... feed it Paul!!!
The results you've gone into would be the same if you went on some crackpot crash diet... of course your body will lose weight but once it figures out you're going to continue to deprive it of nutrients (not so much a calorie issue as a nutrient issue), it's gonna start hangin onto every piece of anything you put in your mouth and not let it go.
Read SLOW metabolism!
As long as you've continued to eat well during the day, you should be fine but a simple banana in the morning could improve your performance and it'll make your body feel better.
I know, i know, you're saying you feel great already...
I bet you do, endorphins do that to a person!
Keep drinking the black coffee but throw a little bone to your system and see hhow it feels!

Hiya Maggie!
I got tired of working out by myself... glad you stopped in!
The weight starts to come off after your metabolism really believes you've made a lifestyle change... consistency!
And, depending on your regime, the scale may not show results as quickly as your body shape. Muscle weighs more than fat but it's also more compact... you'll be firmer before you're lighter.
The best part about that is though... lean muscle mass also burns more calories... so... you're body will begin to burn more calories just by existing. Once you hit this point and continue to keep exercising is when you'll begin to notice the serious changes!
Is there any active way to treat CFS?
Have you modfied your diet with this new workout plan??

Hi Stacey, I'm glad someone was out there!
Where do I start? Well, the Gym I've joined is run by our local council (in England). It's got a good local reputation and a lovely view of the river Thames which i enjoyed on the treadmill this morning. I had my induction this week and got a personal trainer who keeps an eye on me, and does reviews, fitness tests and stuff. That's where I hit the CFS problems becuase the Gurus say don't exercise, and the trainer was going by that. I've had it 9 years and I lead a full life, I just have to pace myself
Active treatment of CFS. In the UK most of the problem is getting it recognised. Because the hospital thought my adrenal glands were packing up they stuffed me full of steroids. However, that did appear to give me a kick start, and from being a zombie I woke up. I also had a really good physiotherapist. She worked on the premise that if you don't do anything you won't be able to do anything. So she taught my husband passive exercises to do with me, and then encouraged me to take up badminton! All this
at a stage where I could hardly get around. But it worked for me. I learnt to recognise the 'stop' signs, and decided that a few bad days were worth the increase in muscle tone. Once i plateaued and didn't seem to be making progress I tried cutting out various foods one at a time. Cutting out wheat made a big difference. now I can eat it, in moderation.
Diet. I already eat a healthy, low fat, high fibre diet with lots of raw foods, but can't shift the pounds I put on with the steroids and after. There's been a real metabolism change. Any ideas?

How long have you been eating the diet you mentioned?
Is it fat tissue that you're trying to lose or have the steriods put more 'bulk' on you as well?
As you probably know, body buidlers use steroid type drugs to add girth that they are then able to tone... you may not have fat to lose, but some of that extra tissue...
As is always the case, unless you're trying to bulk up (big, thick muscular look) use very light weights for extended repetitions. Even three - five pounds lifted over and over again (I go by time in minutes, not by number of repetitions) will tone those muscles. Stretch often and well to elongate those muscles and to relieve build up of toxins in the tissues (releases stress as well)...
You are certainly on the right track!
Sounds like you've got the CFS under control... is it at all episodic? Good days and bad days? Any triggers?
Glad to have you around Maggie...

I've been on the diet for about seven years. I think I agree about the bulk. Apart form that one episode on steroids i haven't had any for 9 years. But - I heard it takes years for them to be out of the body. I'm doing the stretch exercises on an off during the day. I find it helps to relive tension whilst computing. I sit at my computer for 6-8 hours a day which doesn't help. haven't got into using weights yet. I think that comes laterin the programme. I have a review in 3 weeks time, although I'
e decided to increase the levelon the bike (I'm on 0!!) and speed on treadmill (I'm on 3.2 which is far slower than my usual walking speed). My frustration at the moment is the cautiousness of the gym! However, I am grateful to be able to exercise and then being able to work as usual, so it must be OK, and I need to be patient.
CFS is episodic for me, but now I hardly remember I have it. I have patches where I feel like I'm wading through treacle and everything is an effort, and everywhere aches. But I know it passes, and it just a matter of living through it. Wheat certainly makes a difference and I know if I've overloaded. Certain flours seem better than others. I think it may be to do with the added chemicals. Stress always pushes me over, especially time pressures.

Congratulations. Does your husband run too? Hope you had a great honeymoon.
I'm trying to go to the gym four times a week. We get to swim free too with our membership, so I went swimming after my workout today because I felt good. It's a small pool but not usually crowded. I like it because it's warm, and that helps my muscles. I upped the treadmill to 4.0 (I don't know what the rates refer to) and my heart rate kept under 130 and it felt much better than the slow speed. I also did 10 minutes instead of 5. So I feel good about it.

My husband thinks running is 'evil'.
Unfortunately it is just about the worst sport for bad knees, but he's trying to be supportive...
He's a big cyclist. Road and mountain bikes.
For the last few years he's been doing ultra events and the next one is the Ididasport. This race is the equivelant of the Ididarod in Alaska, only on a mountain bike.
Congratulations on upping your level and your time!
Typically on a treadmill you can increase the speed and/or elevation. So, when you upped it to 4.0, you either increased the slope upon which you are walking or you graduated to 4km/hour.

I guess I upped it to 4 KM per hour. I decided not to go to the gym today as I felt a bit overstretched after swimming as well yesterday. However, I did do a brisk mile walk to the shops for the paper. Both my girls were runners at school, and both have had knee problems. My youngest daughter's boyfriend was captain of the junior England squad and is encouraging her to gradually get going again. His family are runners and regularly compete. At least I'm getting encouraged not laughed at! My husband is
oining me at the gym, although his programme is three times as long as mine which is causing me some frustration (I end up hanging around for him).

I run 2-5 times per week... how's THAT for inconsistentcy!?
My running schedule always depends on how the knee feels. My longest runs are usually on Saturdays and I take Sunday off.
Honestly, I hate gyms, I just don't like being inside and sweating. But in the winter time the gym is a logical choice because I hate being sedentary more!
I also rollerblade and mountain bike, although since training for this marathon, I haven't done either since July.
I use weights a couple of times per week.
Lots of repetitions, VERY little weight usually.
At first getting used to using only 8 or ten lbs was difficult for me because I felt like I wasn't pushing my body at all. But after 50+ of anything, I start to feel 'the burn'.
Today I woke up at 5am to hit the gym before work... I like starting my day out with the endorphin rush!

I pushed the treadmill up to 15 mins and got to 4.5 (?kms n hour) and the heart rate didn't go above 130, so I think I'm coping well. I also pushed the bike up a level to 1! So I'm feeling quite pleased. I think I just have to be happy with small things - although it's frustrating. Husband has curtailed his workout so that I'm not waiting an hour for him to finish. That helps the frustration too.
How far do you run on your 2-5 times a week stints? Have you always run? Our girls began doing 5kms in Africa when they were 10-12 years old, but neither have carried on into adult hood, partly because of injury problems. they also hated running in the cold here.

Again, everything depends on the knee.
Usually between 3-5 miles (is that like 5K - 8K?) per stint.
Lately though I've been between 5-8 per stint and everything feels pretty good.
My father used to run when I was little. Five miles every day. I would ride my little pink bicycle behind him, around and around and around the neighborhood. When I was about 10 I started enjoying running in school and I would take short jogs with my father. In junior high school (ages 12-14) I ran with the track team. In college I ran to relieve stress and would participate in 5K and 10K charity runs. I ran my first marathon in March of 1995 and two weeks later in a 10K, I seriously injured my knee. For
ecovery (after 8 weeks of doing NOTHING!) I began cycling (with my then boyfriend, now husband). Only in the last year and a half have I started running on a fairly regular basis and only since July have I run exclusive to other physical activities.
Today I will hit the gym AFTER work... somedays I prefer sleep to the treadmill!

My personal trainer rang this morning - and my routine's been upped. I'm now on the bike twice in the session - the second time on the hill programme, and also on hill on the treadmill. So, I'll try it out tomorrow. She's also suggested weights - not sure if thats whilst on the treadmill or separate. I need to book a review session to be taught how to use them. So I'm feeling more positive. Now I've gone and got a cold!

Woo Woo! Maggie!
(not cheering about the cold of course!)
Good luck with the improved regime!
I haven't done anything since Saturday. My semi long run (that is supposed to be getting shorter and shorter with the marathon quickly approaching) was a 14-miler but didn't set well with me. Slow pace, just didn't feel 'with it' and I was uncharacteristically sore afterwards.
I decided it could be overtraining so I took a few days off. I'm headed to the gym today during lunchtime... just easy, easy, easy though.
I hope you feel better soon Maggie!

When's the marathon? I read somewhere that people commonly overtrain. This isn't likely to be too much of a problem for me - yet - but what do you mean by that. Is it that muscles need time to recover - lactic acid and stuff?

The marathon is in Honolulu, Hawaii.
yes, muscles AND joints need time to recover.
It's not so much a lactic acid issue... that dissipates after less than a day but when you pound your body's joints with such force, they need a few days at least to swell and heal and the muscles that you may have pulled and torn (that's how your muscles grow... tearing and reforming) need time to gather their strength again.
It's analogous to any repetitive stress injury... do it often enough and your body will retaliate!

Feeling better today, lots of VitC and echinacea. Decided to go to the gym even though I wasn't on top of the world. Actually felt I worked out today, achey legs this evening. managed the new settings on the treadmill fine. Started with hill level 1 at 4.5 km per hour which was comforatable. Did 15 mins. Then to reclining bike. Tried random level 2 as specified by trainer. Too tough on the thighs, so graded down, and finally ended up on level 0!!! I lasted the ten minutes but it was tough. I can feel
the tightness in the tighs now 7 hours later. Next time I'll begin on level 0 and go upwards gently! anyway it feels good. I'm still having trouble keepingmyheart rate down. At the least extra effort it peaks above 136. I'm supposed to keep under 130 beats per minute. I'm not feeling stressed (well, apart from that last bike ride). My resting pulse is normally pretty high ( around 88) and I'm 46. I just hope it'll settle as I continue.
I guess if your run is in Hawaii you'll not have to contend with bad weather. We get so cold and damp here it's difficult to do much outside. It's dark by 4pm now, and that's a beginning. How do you avoid overtraining? Do you do different things on different days?

It gets dark here early too since Daylight Savings Time ended... makes me grumpy.
Congratulations... that's what I call a 'good hurt'
To avoid overtraining I need to rest a bit more and yes, do different things on different days...
I'm using muscles that I don't use too much during running... to get my heartrate up and keep the endorphins going but not over fatigue the muscles I really need in a couple of weeks.
I've been warned to expect a little rain in Hawaii but the temperatures should be between 60F and 70F for the 5am start...
With regard to your heart rate... is the gym trying to keep it around 80 percent of max? Your resting rate should lower as your heart gets more efficient at pumping blood (i.e. as it gets stronger)
Glad your feeling better! Now my hubby's got a cold :-(

Sorry about that, I suppose it's sort of inevitable. I realised one problem with the heart rate was probably the Sudafed I was taking to dry up the cold. Now I'm not taking it the heart rate's settled. I managed level 2 random on the reclining bike today, it was a bit of a push but OK. So I must be getting stronger. I have a review next Wednesday. My trainer was not available when I was, so I'm with the gym manager - the guy who overruled her about me. So I'm very happy about that. We talked about be
inning some weights. I want to do some upper body and abs. That's all positive isn't it! Unfortunately (well, sort of) we go on holiday the day after the review so I won't have a chance to put the new programme into practice until after Xmas. But at least I can set it up.

I did go to the gym yesterday... I just walked on the treadmill at 4 miles/hour for 20 minutes. Te slow pace got me moving but didn't make my heart beat race... I think it was the best thing to do.

I had a good re-programme, really clicked with the instructor - she listened to me!!!! We added the air-bike as warm up, kept the other settings on reclining bike and treadmill, added two upper body weights machines, which I coped with fine, and the cross-trainer (ski machine) for 2-5 mins only, oh and some abdominal floor exercises. I felt fine and felt I could cope with the added challenge without killing myself. BP down to 108/84, heart rate behaved well. And I've lost a kilo (2.2lbs) on their weigh
ng machine. I'm pleased.
Best of luck for the weekend. I'll be thinking of you.

I posted this in the Team Leukemia topic but I will post again here:
As many of you are aware, I leave tomorrow morning to participate in the Honolulu marathon. I am running to raise money for the Leukemia Society.
Thank you to those of you who have supported me with encouragement and kind words. A special thanks to those of you who have donated money to the Leukemia Society to help fund the finding of a cure for this disease.
Although I am still shy of my fundraising goal of $4200 by a considerable amount, the money seems trivial compared with the news I received today.
Gage Risley, my seven year-old patient honoree, is in Children's Hospital in Denver right now and will have a bone marrow transplant tomorrow morning. He has gone through seven days of chemotherapy to eradicate good and bad cells from his body and hopefuly the new marrow he receives tomorrow will produce new cancer free cells to replace the old.
Gage has not been responding well to treatment and the marrow transplant is a last resort.
Please keep Gage and his family in your thoughts...
Again, thank you to all of you who have contributed to making other more aware of this disease and to help find a cure. If you care to make a tax deductible contribution to the Leukemia Society, or know someone who would, please send checks (made payable to The Leukemia Society) to me at:

Thanks for info.
I overdid it on Monday, and I'm still suffering! My husband had his reprogram so rather than hang around I did my full program for the first time - including weights and cross trainer. Stupid me! I think it was the cross trainer that was the problem. I managed four and half minutes this time, but my thighs are still quite painful. I haven't had this after using bikes so I guess that's it. Got mad because hubby has gone for a five day program and we didn't talk about it. Silly really but I was frustr
ted as I'm coping well with three days and didn't want to push it too far too quickly. I'm dependent on him for transport to the gym so I can't do my own thing. I've decided that if I do go on the other days I'll just do walking and maybe some biking, and leave my fuller program on the three days as at present. If the pool's open maybe I'll swim. This week the thames has flooded and is up over the park by the gym. The ducks love it!

We had a great holiday but I didn't get much exercise in either. If walking around the shopping center counts, I did plenty but otherwise I only managed one hour long run (on Friday morning).
A friend of mine bought rollerblades yesterday so today during lunch we went in the employee parking lot and taught her to skate! She's doing very well, just needs some time and practice learning how to use the brake.
But the weather was beautiful... sixty degrees (F) and sunny!
Walking or swimming sounds like a great way to fill in those extra days! I can see how you would be frustrated with him but honestly, I wish someone would drag my bum to the gym five days a week!

Went to the gym today for the first time for a week. Felt a bit stiff today but majored on bike and treadmill with the light weights. Feel OK tonight so haven't overdone it. Had thought about swimming as well, but decided against it. The leisure centre has a diddy (small) pool, not good for serious swimming, but after gym its fine as a cool down - it's nice and warm, and so are the changing rooms.

Haleakala (the East Maui volcano) = HA-lay-ah-kah-LA with the ultimate syllable getting the most stress.
The other which comes to mind is Hualalai, a volcano on our island which almost everyone mispronounces: It is, correctly, hoo-ah-LAH-lie. But everyone says hoo-ah-la-LIE. Including me, because I heard it that way for a LOT of years be fore I was clued in that it was incorrect.

I speak hardly any Hawaiian, understand slightly more, but have a keen ear for pronounciations. I think it is the height of insult to live in a culture and not pronounce the words correctly. John is great at Hawaiian. He has actually studied it whereas I am strictly self-taught. It was a dying art, speaking Hawaiian, but they have reintroduced it into the schools so it is being spoken by a new generation - leaving those of us in the middle the only ones incapable of holding a conversation in it.
Yes, Maggie, my dear, you are getting svelte but you cannot tell because you are turning the jiggle into something of greater weight and of infinitely greater appeal. Great!

The jiggle was definitely tired jiggle today. I struggled through an hour of programme, rowed (that's argue not row row) with hubby (again!) and puttered home where I have been adhering to my computer chair for hours.

By coincidence I was reading an article on the linguistic situation in Hawaii last night, in a library book I got out for something else. I'll post in Hawaii topic in travel.

I know about adhering to the computer seat...*lol* Resident male is sure it is attached permanently, evev though he has inspected me closely enough to know it is not the fact. Actually, it is more like a magnet. Any time I pass the room going on my way elsewhere, I always swoop in to check for new mail and posts. If I find any, it might be quite a while before I emerge again.
Going to Travel to check your post in Hawaii...

It's hard going just now. Only managed 40 mins this morning and it felt like I was wading through mud. So just had a gentle bike ride and 10 mins on the treadmill. Fed up.

Oh Maggie I hope your not terribly discouraged...
this is just a plateau for sure!
Vary your routine a little so you can get excited about exercise again!
Sorry for my extended absence... I couldn't find my way here!
I have been going to the gym and I've started running again with my marathon buddy... now Wednesday nights because the weekends are for skiing (for her, not me!)
I did go skiing for the first time right after new year's... I LOVED IT!
Still, it is very expensive so I will only go occassionally when I feel like spending lots of money...
On the 8th I entered my first snowshoe race... the breckenridge Snowshoe Skeddadle.
What fun! I ran the 3K and thought I was going to die! The altitude is over 10,000 feet in Breckenridge...
The most hysterical part is I won second place in my division!
Tonight I'm going to the gym again... B is coming with me this time (he also came last Friday)... such fun to have him along!
C'mon Maggie... keep it up!

Thanks, glad you found your way back. Marcia kept me company for while while you were 'lost'. Really I'm not doing too badly. I even managed two minutes on the cross-trainer and i'm not aching all over this time. If that's what skiing's like - well! I have another reprogramme booked for thurs. I don't expect too much change this time - but I'm with yet another trainer, my last one left the gym. I think it took ages to pick up after the bug I had at Christmas, which was why I felt so low earlier. I
ve increased my protein intake and reduce carbohydrates. I'm still not shifting the weight which was making me feel bad. Still I haven't felt hungry all day with the extra protein. We'll see.
Wow that snowrace sounds something. I guess you'd have to expend a lot more energy. Great you've got company at the gym - is he enjoying it or competitive?

He only has a five-day pass and is not competitive there at all.
He's preparing for the Iditabike in Alaska and will probably have to spend some time pushing the bike so he's trying to simulate that at the gym.
I took a spin class last night while he was on the elliptical trainer... what fun! The cycling class really helps me focus on my form without worrying about cars or rocks or bumps, etc...
You drove a trainer to quit his job?!?!?
You must be a demanding one *grin*
Glad your're still pretty upbeat... try not to focus on the weight right now... remember, you are adding YEARS to your life!!

Yeah, I keep telling myself! and the he was a she - and I'm sad because she was nice. We went to the gym early (like 8 a.m.!) on Monday. I was worried it'd be full of beefy males, but it wasn't (ah). We're going to try REALLY early this week - 6.30 a.m. as T is teaching from 8.40 a.m. each morning. Don't know if my usual bleary eyed state can take it, but it is nice to get back early and not lose the whole morning. So, here goes tomorrow.
What's the elliptical trainer? Sounds like you sort of go in circles - lol!

yep! Your legs move in an elliptical motion as opposed to straight up and down like a stair stepper or just horizontally like on a treadmill. The elliptical is supposed to be eaiser on your knees while working your entire body... there are handles as well that you push...

I think any number of active people know about knees. It is truly frightening to go to an Episcopal church and listen to the knees crunching as they kneel for prayer.

I've been continuing with the exercises that help keep my knees happy and so far... excellent results!
Tonight I run with my marathon buddy. We've decided that Wednesday evening is a good time for both of us. I'm still motivated more by the social interaction but whatever works!
Have you gotten a new program yet Maggie??
Marica, do you exercise? If so, what do you do?

Just throwing them up here would be fine... we could preface it with... items lost in the time warp... or some such introduction because I'm not sure there is an easy way to snuggle them into their appropriate chronological order...

Hi I'm here! Seems a bit of a muddle lately.
Got a bit of a problem - blood pressure's been up. Am going to get it checked before I exercise during the next week and if it's still up go and see doctor. Feel Ok though.

New program tomorrow - ?rowing machine this time, or is that too ambitious?? More toning weights anyway. I'm feeling
really good on the high protein, low carbohydrate diet. Don't know if I'm losing weight, but at least I don't feel hungry and my
blood suger seems to be behaving so my brain seems to be working better too! Glad you're having the interaction Stacey -
it does make a difference doesn't it. Marcia - do you take the computer chair to the gym???? (I think mine's permanently
stuck) lol!

My main exercises consist of climbing things the big guys can't reach from the ground - hanging banners to stringing wires.
I also crouch, stretch, push and pull heavy things all in the name of preparing the gym, civic auditorium or softball venue for
games and taking it all down afterward. This happens several times a week during the academic year and it seems to
keep me working better than some kids a lot of younger volunteers (commandeers, actually!). I know I need longer
sustained activity but it is something I am not motivated to do so I begin and lose interest quickly. If my son ever gets
my W95 laptop back to me with a fixed case I will be happy. Then it will go to baseball, softball and basketball games.
You would not believe the lengths of modem cord I have stashed on reels just so I can get onto Spring!

It's good that you do something aerobic to get that heart rate up.
Sadly enough a lot of people believe that if you're skinny, you must be fit. Not so... you're heart muscle NEEDS exercise as
well to be as efficient as possible!
good luck with the new program Maggie!
I'll be running tonight in the cold... no snow though... maybe by tomorrow

You're right. I get just as out if shape (getting winded easily) when I get out of running around the ball fields. Gotta pant a lot
for a decent length of time before you can do the stairs up to the field 2-at-a-time without breathing hard.
Running up and down the stadium is good exercise, too. It is MY time of year. When I get to the top I am rewarded by a view
of the entire southeast rift of Kilauea and I can see the various pu'us making vapor clouds like conical chimneys.

Stace runs with a St Bernard along side. He is outfitted with a keg of mulled merlot...just in case! That kind of snow
sounds lovely, and on all of those Colorado Blue Spruce, it should have been like running through a fairytale. I'd have
been right along beside you!

I can't even begin to imagine running in the snow!!! Marcia was joking about the St Bernard wasn't she? I have this really
funny picture of you now Marcia swinging around on wires and things.
Good reprogram this afternoon. Yes, I have begun on the rowing machine. Funny thing was at that point this 'older' lady
started joshing my trainer, i thought it was a bit funny - then he told me it was his mum!!!! He's also added some arm
weights - you know tone up that dreaded under upper arm area, and shown me how to write my own programs for the
treadmill. At least he recognises I have a brain!! I'm going to have some fun designing my own 'virtual' runs (well, walks).
Next major rehaul of program is in 6-8 weeks.
T had a nasty fall at work and has a ?hairline fracture of his left elbow and a badly strained right wrist. Rather inhibited his
gym routine, so he's just doing treadmill and bike. A side note - after waiting three hours in accident and emergency dept
of our local hospital - they sent him home without even a support bandage!!!

how horrible! I hope he is feeling better soon. Did the hospital staff give him any advice on how to nurse either his elbow
or wrist back to health?
Congratulations on your new program Maggie! Sounds like just the spice you need to pep up the whole workout routine.
Yes, Marcia was indeed joking about the dog... no dogs at our house! My running partner was actually another woman...
my marathon buddy. The snow wasn't as blinding running as it was driving... the whole speed factor. But I did enjoy the
beauty of it all. There were several other pairs of joggers out at the same time and a few lone runners but all else was
pretty quiet. I was dressed adequately so the temperture drop wasn't really an issue.
B rode last night though... much faster and much longer than I ran... he was pretty wet and cold by the end of the evening!

We've had hardly any snow this year - a little on Christmas day, some in the air since but didn't settle. I must admit to
being a couch potato where snow is concerned. I love it - from the inside looking out! Oh to be in Africa!
No, the hospital didn't give any advice on the wrist or elbow, except - rest and leave the gym for a couple of weeks. Well,
nothing wrong with his legs is there, so why leave the gym alone? To add insult to injury he lost his wallet somewhere
between A & E and X-ray, of couse it's not been handed in.
Pity about the St Bernard, that's be a lovely picture too!
