    Wow, I miss a day and a half and look what happens. :) I did have a good day of dachshund wrangling Monday, but those short little legs don't go very far. :D Only added 1.25 miles that day. Made up for it yesterday with a 4.5 mile walk.

    August total 41.25 miles. :o Need to get moving more and catch up.

    @Dave Glad things are going better for you. I must say, that is at least a happy excuse for moving a little less.

    @hkristine1 I know you may not see this, but it is great to hear from you. Sounds like you're really busy, but in a good way

    @anaconda469 Oh NO. I hope some sleep helped give some perspective and you are feeling better. Please take care and know we are here for you.

    And for our teachers/principals/other school workers WOW, summer is over already?!?!?! Good luck with the beginning of the school year.

    3.6 mile walk. The weather was gorgeous, I only passed one other person, I even lowered the volume on my music to hear the breeze instead.

    I am still here but I have been sick and I haven't moved in almost a week. I am trying to gather the energy to get out and at least walk or something. It's been awful...

    =============================
    SPREADSHEET UPDATED TO HERE

    See (but not edit) the
    spreadsheet here:

    http://tinyurl.com/myac201402
    =============================

    I'm finally getting around to an update...


    @HKRISTINE1 - I'm really glad you're still alive!!! :smile: And you're welcome...I'm glad to be able to help relieve at least part of your stress. :smile: :

    @KAR328 - I love that someone said that to you! And I'm sure that even if you weren't able to form the words, I'm sure she saw from your facial expression how much that meant to you! :flowerforyou:

    @CLEPANT - What a lovely variety of scenery!! Thanks so much for sharing the beautiful pictures too! :star:

    @ANACONDA469 - Sorry to hear you got some less than favorable news the other day. I hope that it is something that you can deal with and still work around without having to give up riding. Of course I don't know what the issue is, but the solution seems a little extreme... :flowerforyou:

    @TIMETOLOSEWEIGHT - Oops, I think last time I updated, I used the wrong number in your post, but it's correct now. :smile:

    @BLUIZ13 - No worries! Glad to see you check in! And I hope that this Group continues to exist for a reaaaal long time to come!

    @VHUBER - Oh no!! I'm so sorry....my heart goes out to you and your family on the loss of your sister! :cry:

    @TAPPY44 - So sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well! I was a little behind in updating yet so I hadn't seen your post, but a kind soul from this group sent me a message alerting me that you were not feeling well and wondered if we could help with your miles if your illness prevents you from being able to make your goal. It's up to you, but know that there are many here that will jump to help just as soon as they can! All you have to do is say the word. :flowerfoyou:


    Oh, and you may (or may not) notice that I also FINALLY updated everyone's optional "Goal Streak" columns. Most of you will be happy about that. :blush:

    And thanks again to all who cheered my recent status change. All is still going well. *fingers crossed*

    Thank you all for the kind sentiments. My Medico in the know disagrees with my Chiropractor who does sports medicine. Chiro says I am improving, Dr says surgery. After asking the Dr what on the latest x-rays screams surgery, I am told there really isn't anything there, but it may help my pain. My back and neck is still sore at times, but my Chiro has made things so much better, better then being doped up on narcotic pain killers. But I also have arthritis near these locations, so soreness is to be expected. I have ramped up my riding with permission from my Chiro, and I can go a little farther each ride. My Dr on the other hand is opposed to me riding for an indeterminate amount of time. So that is what made me depressed enough to just sell my bikes and give up. Well after sleeping and praying on it, I have decided to go with the Chiro, and continue with what I love doing. So I took a rest day today just because I had so much to do on other business.

    It was a wild day of kayaking. Went down a river and when we came back out onto the lake, we were hit with hug waves. I felt like I was in the Edmond Fitzgerald. It took us forever just to go a few miles. Oh and do .t forget to take KT tape off while in the sun or you have lines all over where the tape was....lol.
    Then we go out to look for elk and hubby uses GPS to get us back cause he does not like the road I am on. We end up on some seasonal road that just keeps going deeper and darker into the forest. We end up with a small birch tree down in the road and have to drag it off. Next we have two Wolverines fighting each other in the middle of the road. I was never so happy to get back to our house.

    Aug.12: 15 miles of which 5 are kayaking, 7 are cycling and 3 are walking miles
    TTD: 149 miles

    @vhuber I am so sorry for your loss! :'(
    @anaconda469 glad you were able to make the decision to keep doing what you love!
    @clepant sounds like quite the adventure! And gorgeous pics from the other day, too!!
    And yes we keep starting earlier and earlier! No more 3 months off..now it's about 7 weeks. What ever happened to school after Labor Day?

    I did elliptical at gym 1.5 miles and then ankle got sore (should have worn the brace being on my feet all day) so I did some bike, 2.5 miles

    Took a rest day yesterday and an easy day on the bike today. Went to the Medico's in the know, and what they told me has me depressed and ready to sell my bikes. Not such a good day. I am hoping those thoughs will go away after sleeping on it. :(:(:(:(

    Blasphemers! Heretics! Non-Believers! Stay away from those people! :laugh:

    I'm really sorry to hear that. Having lost siblings, I know it's rough. Hang in there. If you need to vent, feel free to send a message.

    Nice adventure! Would have been beautiful! However, at some point I would have been asking the hubby, "Is that thing really working or are the batteries dead and you just don't want to tell me?"
