Had to put it in a separate post. 2.4 mile walk, I managed to walk past my new street without realizing it. It's a loop, so I turned down the other side of it and doubled back.

Managed a 16 mile bike ride today. I had wanted to go further but the heat and wind dampened my enthusiasm a little once I got out there. Severe storms expected here tomorrow so any workouts might be indoor unless I can get out before they arrive.

2 miles. I will note that there is a lot of foot traffic at 5:30 in this 55+ neighborhood. I kept having to veer around people and cross the street.

Okay I lost this three times
Adding 44.6 miles of walking and biking for Aug. 8 -11
Rough couple weeks..some health issues and I had to put my old girl to sleep. Long story to go into, but she fractured her humerus, she was between 15 to 16 years of age and out of all m dogs, my first truly mine dog as my other dogs always loved my dad a little more. She never was happy until I was home with her to calm and relax. That is both my dogs in the last 14 months and also my dad. Life sucks sometimes and she always seemed to give me some purpose to be here through Covid. Heaven looks better every day.
I know how you feel & I cry as I read this. They ARE our kids & we can't help loving them & that is why it hurts sooo bad when they go. I pray you are blessed with a better day! & I agree HEAVEN sounds better EVERY day!!!Okay I lost this three times

@kar328 - the keys sound just about right. I hope your cat survived her first days alone. I had to smile at you missing the street your new home is on
@dave - working from home sounds like a win-win for you. I hope you don’t miss walking round the lake/pond in you lunch break
@lamlamsmakeover - Happy Anniversary - 25 is a special one
@clepant - huge virtual hugs with a really tight squeeze. I’m really sorry about your pup and you did the bravest thing.
I’m still resting, elevating and icing my ankle (HaH, I wonder if it was the 5 mile of walking, albeit not in one go).
I had it X-Rayed today and there is no obvious fracture - YaY. But I do have a further appointment with a consultant.
We’ve had some exciting weather here. Tuesday night there was a 3 hour electrical storm with flash flooding from the rain, followed by a shorter, repeat performance on Wednesday night.
I should be in the middle of my camping trip. We cancelled - him indoors barely tolerates shared bathroom facilities. So it wasn’t going to happen in the middle of Covid19. On that note, I hope you’re all safe and well.1 -
@clepant sorry for your losses. Love and hugs to you and your family.
@dave good news about your commute. Question for you as well. I'm still seeing the July numbers when I hit the new link.

We are walking in the morning before the sun comes up. It'll be the first walk in a looong time! So excited!
Oh, it's 102 degrees here in northern California right now, and it's 7:00 in the evening! Egads!

@clepant - so sorry about your pup. I hope you find comfort remembering all the years of love.
@k80flec - hope you continue to improve
@darkrider42 - working from home sounds like the next best thing to retirement LOL!
@JoeMO - I'm not the tech expert Dave is, but are you able to click on the tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet? i can see separate tabs for July and August.
I was away from home this week doing some family business, but I'm back now and had a nice run this morning. Have a great weekend.0 -

Thank you for all the kind words about my sweet pup, Merit. Dean, you always seem to know the right things to say to make my heart feel a little better. It is incredible to think she was one hour from being euthanized when a gal from a husky rescue pulled her when the dog warden pleaded for her to take her. He put her in his truck each day for several weeks when he went out to pick up strays and she road in the front seat with him. He didn’t want to come in and feed one dog over the weekend and decided it was time to let her go. From Toledo, she went to Columbus, Ohio because they needed the space. And from there I found her and drove from Pittsburgh to get her. Nothing special about her, but told she was really sweet and I felt like God wanted me to take her. She had separation anxiety, she was someone’s dog because she was spayed and had stainless steel staples still in her till the day she died. She even knew a few tricks. She went on to become a therapy dog in hospice. We named her Merit because she was worthy of saving.
She was the first dog in our area to acquire MRSP, (the dog form of MRSA) in her bladder. No one knew much about it In 2009 and it took three rounds of antibiotics for my vet to send her for a bladder culture. I ended up counseling pet owners in the US through Bella Moss Foundation on treatments. Jill Moss lost her dog, Bella to MRSA and no one would help her. Her dog literally died in her arms in the vets exam room because none of the nurses or techs would come in to help her. They were afraid of catching it. (Sounds like Covid all over again.) I worked with human specialist in Canada and Florida as well as vets at Ohio State. I ended up with a vet in Great Britain that was treating animals holistically for it. He was her vet for a good year and a half. My vet did not believe in any of it, but he saw first hand that it was what saved her. She only had two antibiotics that her strain was not resistant to and the first one did not work. It came back. The second could destroy her kidneys or liver so I went holistically because Dr. Allport was having good results. He built her immune system back up since they had pumped her with so many antibiotics.
I have been sleeping downstairs with her for the past four years because she could no long climb the stairs.She would sit at the bottom of the steps and cry because she wanted to be with us so aI moved down with her, It also worked out because I was taking care of Finny who had anal sac cancer and my dad. This week was the first time I slept upstairs again.
God gave me a special blessing with her on her last day. Merit woke up just shortly after I did at 6am. She never gets up before 7am. But she insisted on being up. She ate a good breakfast. My hubby went to get some tests done and she was a little restless. I ended up sitting on the floor with her and she fell asleep with her head in my lap for a couple hours. It was if God wanted me to spend the last moments of time with her before he took her. Anyway, thank you for the love and kind words. She will always hold a special place in my heart.
