@Kar: Is a farmer carry when you haul weights around like a farmer hauls bales and sacks of grain?
I like @sufferlandrian 's explanation, but it's the same as a suitcase carry. I"m here in the south, so that's probably why it's called that. The instructor did offer the option of walking with the kettle bells racked on the forearms. I just snorted. Started feeling the soreness in my forearms yesterday but not as bad as I thought.
@vhuber - thanks
I'm trying. I'm a fan of Ernestine Shepherd and have seen a few videos of older women doing some really badass exercises/lifts this week. I want to be like that.

@DINOS - DINO!!! Great to see you!! Wish you would pop in more often, but I understand. You're one busy guy.
@CLEPANT - My internal clock does seem to be reversed at times. Loved the story of the goose and puppy...thanks for sharing!! 
I lifted weights and did bike and treadmill walk today. Felt great then, but my knee was a "hitchy" tonight and seemed to give out at random while I walked. :-/ Hope that doesn't continue!

WHISTLES & CHEERS!!! @LOVEMYALEX has just crossed the 50K Lifetime Miles marker!!!
It looks like the Polar Vortex is making a comeback tomorrow....hopefully for just a day though. We just got a bunch of snow the last two days and then tomorrow it's supposed to get down to -17F with -34F windchills. BRRRR!! I wiill also be having an MRI on my knee tomorrow afternoon and will get the results next Tuesday morning. Also have to move our sectional couch outside to the dumpster because we have a new one (along with 4 kitchen chairs) being delivered Saturday morning!
Stay warm everyone!

@ Congratulations LoveMyAlex! I have been watching your number creep up to there. Awesome accomplishment with two knee replacements! You are amazing!
@Dave, will keep you in prayer. Sure hope it is not ligament issues. My meniscus tear causes mine to go at unexpected moments. I still think I will be heading into surgery this year. The cysts on both sides of my knee are almost worse pain than the tear.
We also will go from 65 today to 9 tomorrow and back to the polar vortex. All I can say is :
I had my dad back in the ER today after taking him there Sat. morning for neck spasms.The nurse gave him a shot in each arm but the one must of hit a blood vessel and caused a hematoma.The pain meds raised his INR and he bled into his arm and hand by this morning. So ugly! So he is off his blood thinner tonight and hopefully his 3.8 will be back in the 2.0 to 3.0 range in the next couple days. Such fun.

@clepant - I love the goose story. Humanity has a lot to learn from nature. I hope you’re seeing an improvement in your Dad.
@dinos - YaY. Fab that you dropped by.
@vhuber - no wonder you’ve felt under the weather. I bet it’s good to know that it’s a little more than just working VERY hard. You put me to shame
@Lovemyalex - *hugs* for your milestone, what an awesome number (and how hard you’ve worked to achieve it!)

I've been in the FREEZER ALL week!!!! Soooo cold with a foot of snow. I have shoveled EVERY day at home, the fitness center & at the house I am house sitting for the winter. Last night while coming home from the high school basketball game (which was a little over an hour away) the temp gauge kept getting colder & colder. The coldest it read was 40 BELOW!!! Thank goodness there was only a breeze out or the windchill would have been unbelievable!
Since posting I have done 3 on foot & 10 from ex bike! My classes are going good. More in the low impact class than the Tabata/Interval one but oh well!

I've spent most of the week in bed ill. Feeling very jealous of all the moving that has been going on without me. I'm finally feeling well enough that I'm going to ride with my crazy bike club tonight, so that should add some miles.
@Lovemyalex - congrats on a big milestone!
@dinos - good to see you here. I did read Outliers several years back but I've forgotten a lot of what Gladwell said. The other guy was basically saying he was wrong. The truth is usually more subtle. Cynically, they all try to say something controversial that will sell books.
Stay warm, people!2 -
@lovemyalex Wow. Just wow.
Adding 3 miles. Got to chat with my dietitian at the gym this morning (so glad her client was ten mins late). She's got a gift for making me excited about this health journey when I need a boost. She also asked if she could give my username and blog site to another client who is struggling. She says she'll sometimes use me as an example for something and it seems to make a difference with the woman. She's also good for my ego
