    2.51 mile walk today. It's been an ugly few days so I wasn't able to get out. Last night, I had to put my bird, Merlin to sleep. He'd been going downhill for a few days. He was 25 3/4 and I've had hime since he was 3 months old so this was, and is very hard. Exercise and eating have fallen off track at the moment. Getting out today felt good though.

    Congratulations going out to lovemyalex and sussexbythesea on making goal! Great stuff.

    Chris - congratulations! I love the smell of newborns too.

    scarfe - I hope it is over soon too. Good luck to all the teachers going back to work. We appreciate you!

    anaconda - take it easy and follow doctor's orders, ok?

    kar328 - 25 years is a long time together. It must be really hard to say goodbye.

    As for me, I'm back from California. Number 2 son has been deposited back at school Number 1 son leaves next week for his new job out west (college grad now employed!!!). And DH leaves on a fishing trip leaving me all alone. I'll miss them but I'm looking forward to the house staying clean LOL. I tried to walk the dogs on the beach today but we were attacked by black flies and had to cut it short. Still I've managed 70/75. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend as summer winds down.

    I want to thank everyone who kindly offered to donate miles to me. I deeply appreciate it. It looks like I may make it, no big bonus miles like I usually do. Weather is now in the 70's (100 yesterday) so Doc says I can be out cycling. Looks like this cooling is going to hold for the next few days.

    08/22 - 12.0 miles cycling (Vuelta Solo Effort stage 3)
    08/22 - 01.0 miles river walk
    08/23 - 15.0 miles cycling (Vuelta Solo Effort Stage 4)
    08/24 - 18.0 miles cycling (Vuelta Solo Effort Stage 5)
    08/25 - 20.0 miles hamster wheel (Vuelta Solo Effort Stage 6)
    08/26 - 02.0 miles walking
    08/26 - 15.0 miles hamster wheel (Vuelta Solo Effort Stage 7)
    08/27 - 17.0 miles cycling (Vuelta Solo Effort Stage 8)

    Total: 273.0 miles

    @ Kar: I am so sorry to here about your bird. It is sad losing a friend and member of your family. I am sure he had a great life with you.

    @Chris: Nothing like a new, sweet baby.

    @Anaconda: So glad you made goal. Just the fact that you got all your miles despite your set back speaks a lot about your drive and determination. Hope you are feeling better. Put your body armour on when you go out. Take it slow.

    @Janet: Glad you arrived home safely. Sounds like you have been busy. Congrats to your son and his new job. Enjoy your down time.

    Put another four hours in at school today. It was nice of my principal to open up the building to us today and tomorrow.
    Aug. 27: 21.34 miles of which I ran for 5 miles, cycled for 12.34 miles and walked 4 miles

    Having a wonderful time in the Smoky Mountains. (pictures to follow once I get some tech support from my wonderful DH). Added 2.5 miles Thursday, even with the 6+ hours driving. Hiked 8.5 miles Friday and 11.75 miles yesterday on some beautiful trails, including a portion of the Appalachian trail yesterday. We'll see how our muscles respond this morning before we decide how ambitious we will be today.

    August total 109.25 miles

    Thank you for the kind words. I managed to make myself get out and walk today. I did 5.10 miles because the number on his ID tag was 510. Fitbit said I burned 514 calories, but I logged 510 :smile:

    Managed to get myself to a HIIT class and did 0.5 miles on the indoor track before it started. It was a good distraction.

    Oh Kar, I'm so sorry for your loss. :'( I know that after your 25+ year friendship you made the best and hardest decision for Merlin. Hang in there, it will always hurt, but you will be able to keep going.
