Still being challenged with trips to the ER, poor Dad is not doing well. Working on maintaining my weight and my sanity during these trying times. Not sure why the Ticker is not working -

Sorry I've been so slow updating the spreadsheet. Too much going on at work and at home! Nothing bad, but just bizzy, bizzy, bizzy!!!!
CONGRATS to several to surpass their GOALS......2ESSIE, AREUJOKING2, HKRISTINE, and DJMICHEALS!!! :drinker::drinker:
VERDEMUJER - Way to pour on the heat....I upped your goal on the spreadsheet!
SUNFLOWER9194 - I've had Plantar Fasciitis. What you need is a "night splint" for nighttime while you're sleeping. It will keep the foot flexed so it doesn't contract and tighten up and make you scream in pain when you get out of bed in the morning. Also, once the pain subsides a little, you need to do some 'calf raises' on any set of stairs. Put the fronts of your feet on a step and hang your heels off, let them drop down into a stretch and then do a set of about 15 calf raises. Finish with another good stretch as you are able to tolerate it. Also as an alternative to the night splint, any local running specialty store ought to have a "Strassburg sock" which does the same thing as a night splint in keeping your foot flexed while you sleep. It's entirely cloth and more comfortable and might be easier to sleep in, but it doesn't hold the foot as well has the hard splint. Here's a link to a night splint like I used on Amazon for only $19.99 (with Prime membership). www.amazon.com/plantar-fasciitis-night-splint-brace/dp/B001PB07S8 This next item also feels good to wear during the day and should fit inside your normal shoes: http://www.amazon.com/Plantar-Fasciitis-Arch-Supports-Pair/dp/B0088IGVG8/ref=pd_sim_hpc_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1TY9Q4F7E3MD4XK0P2XQ Good luck! :flowerforyou:
KAR328 - Look at you! You're already faster than me! :bigsmile:
BLUES4MILES - CONGRATS on your non-stop run!!! How exciting!!! :drinker:
SUGAH11 - Sorry to hear your Dad is still struggling and you're having a difficult time. Thoughts and prayers being sent your way. :flowerforyou:
MEG2166 - The best exercise is to lay on the floor on your tummy like you're going to do a pushup. Keeping your hips flat on the floor, do that pushup...and arch your back...go as far as is comfortable. Hold for 30 seconds or so until the muscles relax. Initially, you'll be lifting yourself entirely with your arms, but after doing this a couple of times, begin using a little more of your lower back muscles to lift your upper body and less arms. As you get stronger and feel better, you'll eventually get to where you should be able to do "Supermans". Don't laugh, it's an actual exercise. :laugh: Laying flat, facedown on the floor, legs together, arms straight above your head, simultaneously raise your legs and your upper body....like you're flying....like Superman. :bigsmile:

Decided not to push my luck running today - 3.7 mile walk in the warm, windy weather. I think it's about to rain. Since I just watered my plants, I'd bet on it.

Got 19.7 miles on the bike in today.
In related news, my dad (64) finished the Boston marathon today, and my sister, in solidarity, walked 26.2 miles around our home town. I'm feeling a bit like a dolt for not taking the time to ride a full 26.2 miles. I thought about it, but I convinced myself I had to get back to work, since I ride during my lunch hour... I kind of feel like I missed out on a once-in-a-lifetime event of the three of us all doing 26.2 miles of exercise in some fashion - but oh well... such is life, I guess. Just disappointed in myself.
My mom walked around Boston a bit while my dad ran - BUT she saved some guy's life in the subway yesterday (administered CPR after he went limp after stating he was having chest pain and shortness of breath - my mom is a nurse... paramedics arrived and he was still alive, likely because of her quick and knowledgeable reaction), so I guess she has us all trumped
Life goes on (in so many ways).
Kudos to you and your amazing family. :drinker: :drinker:
Kudos indeed! :drinker: :drinker:0 -
