Everything cooperated today for my long walk except the weather. The only nice thing about the grey drizzly day was I had the bike path to myself except for one runner and one dog walker. The cold and damp was a small price to pay for the much needed exercise and solitude.
Added 7.5 miles for and April total of 46.25 miles. Here's hoping for more of the same tomorrow. Well......Maybe a little dryer might be nice.

@vhuber: I get the patience of children. Some days I have to dig deep to find it with my school kids. It is good I leave teaching now before they ask me to leave...lol.
Speaking of patience, I am so tired of people asking me how many more days till I am retired. I keep telling them, how many days till the end of the school year....if they don’t know I tell them to get a calendar and count for themselves. I am lucky I know what day of the week it is let alone how many days left.
@Dean: I can only imagine what you hear in your line of work. I remember a lady arguing with a vet when she asked how her dog got sick. When he told her about germs she said that her dog is not exposed to germs because she keeps an impeccably clean home. I could hardly keep myself from bursting out laughing.
Taxmom: Sorry about your flooding issues. Glad you got your drain unclogged.
April 24: Adding 10.25 miles of terriblly sore knees. Not sure why but they are hurting.

Oh jeeze....I just realized I forgot to update the spreadsheet today. I guess I was busy!
Hang tight and I will try to remember to do it tomorrow morning!
I'd do it tonight, but my brain is already full from a million other mini-life-crises (depending on who you ask) all demanding to be dealt with at once. Ugh. Let's just hope I can shut my brain off long enough to get some sleep tonight. :-/

@Dave - It's OK. The spreadsheet is not a glass ball. In life we juggle so many things and they can be divided into three categories. Glass balls need to be juggled no matter what. The break when you drop them. Rubber balls can be dropped and will be difficult to control when they bounce but can be recovered. Nerf balls can be dropped, kicked around and when you get the time, you bend over and pick them up. I think the spreadsheet qualifies as a Nerf ball.
@Clepant - At least you have a retirement date. I'm pretty sure I'm going to die on the job.0 -

LOL. Next time give finding a new vet as an option!1 -

LOL you did the right thing Dean. My patience is evaporating with time as well. What is a nerf ball? this sounds greek to me
@Janet How did your half Marathon go??
Did a few more runs and I'm at 51/60 for April. It has taken me 7.5 hours overall. It never stops amazing me how some people are always at the track every single time I go there and how fast they are lapping me.

THANKS FOR THE ASSIST WITH THE UPDATE, JANET!!! :flowerforyou:
CONGRATS on making GOAL to @PLANJ!! :drinker:
@SUFFERLANDRIAN - Thanks, I appreciate it. I know in the grand scheme of things, you guys will be okay if I don't update. I just dislike forgetting it. I like to give you all a certain level of service.
@DINO - A nerf ball is one of those toy balls made out of a ultra-light foam. It's made so no matter how hard a kid can throw it, it will never hurt when it hits their brother or sister in the face.
They'll just laugh it off instead of running crying to their mother. Nerf bullets (darts really), on the other hand, are a little less soft, but still don't usually hurt unless you take one square in the eyeball. My two boys while growing up must've owned every Nerf gun they ever made and the floors in every room of the house had Nerf bullets scattered about.
Managed to get some sleep last night and even got up eventually for a short workout at the gym!

Sore as heck from a lot of lunges in Boot Camp Monday and lifting and more lunges with my trainer yesterday (who also teaches the Boot Camp). I make a noise every time I sit down or get up. Didn't feel like skipping the gym today since I knew today was a stuck to the desk workday so I walked 3 miles on the treadmill. Boring but I went to work with over 7000 steps. Texted the trainer that today was a little less sore and I wasn't taking her name in vain every time I moved.
Took the plunge and just purchased the materials to get certified as a group fitness instructor. I've been realizing how much I love all this fitness/gym/nutrition stuff and coupled with this new job i don't like much and don't want to do until I'm ready to retire, as well as some words of encouragement from my trainer and dietitian, made me decide to see if this is something I can do, even part time. I'm also interested in health coach and possibly personal trainer, but figured this is a good place to start.
TL;DR for the mods - 3 miles please

I desperately need to get tothe gym for some strength training. If someone bumps me, my knees are going to give out and I am going down...so Dean....I may not make through the last 40 plus days.
A nerf ball does hurt if it in the face with it. I can attest to that although it’s not playground balls like we were pelted with years ago.
Janet...love the choice of new vet....lol
Dave and Janet....the fact that you bother to do this job is amazing. Send me a private message with your address and I will send you both gift cards. I so appreciate what you both do here.

Now boarding the GOAL train are @BELLE_74, @GRANDMAJACKIE and @LOVEMYALEX!!! :drinker:
@KAR328 - That is wonderful that you are considering pursuing taking up something in a fitness-related vein! You have come so far and I would think it would be such a rewarding endeavor for you.
@CLEPANT - Awww, that is SO thoughtful and I appreciate the gesture, but I couldn't possibly accept anything for doing this. I enjoy being able to provide this "service" to all of you. I know it is appreciated and I'm thankful for that as well! :flowerforyou:
