Night Walk
By now it is Tuesday and it is the morning after my sister left for home. We have had a very "hary kary" couple of days dealing with a flood in my parents house which started last Saturday morning. Calling in the troops for all the restoration to try and save the sub-flooring, and carpeting. It did destroy the pergo floor in the kitchen and the padding under the carpet. It also soaked up the walls in several rooms and it will require some remodeling. My Mom is in rehab for knee surgery and I am dealing with my Dad and two cats. Let me re-phrase that my dad with out cognative reasoning and one friendly cat. What about the other cat you ask?...one word- feral... All, I could muster this day for exercise, or better yet, this night- late night, was a walk
Saturday Late Night Pilates
What can I say?, its my "go-to" choice to squeeze in my 30 minutes after a full day of "round-to-its"
Friday Walk Jog
We have had some beautiful weather and I try to go out and exercise as much as possible. Winter sends us all inside to exercise and so I look forward to Spring and Summer for the outside exercises. Today it was a walk jog combo around the neighborhood.
Thursday- Bike Ride
My sister came over to exercise and instead of going for a walk she annoumced, " Get out your bikes and pump up those tires!" After all the years she has come to visit, she had NEVER been on the Centennial Trail! So, I did what my BIG sister told me to do, and off we went for a ride on the trail. I wish we had the whole day to ride but schedules are always demanding, especially that money maker called work.... We rode from my house over to Pines Rd. and to Sullivan Rd. and back.

On Track
I am right on track today, I almost feel like I have my schedule back. I got up, had my coffee, talked with my sister, and got my exercise clothes on. I think I was exercising by 9:15 am. I decided today would be an outside day. The temperature is cool and the sky is overcast. I used my interval timer and did 4 miles total doing the first two miles as a 2 minute walk and a 1 minute jog. Then for the second two miles I reversed it with a 1 minute walk and a two minute jog....I think I went about it a little backwards, as the second 2 miles was very tough! I really must invest some money and get Jeff Galloways book on how to run injury free using the walk/jog method....after all, I bought his interval timer!
