Last week was a bit different for me as my DDD is expecting our first grandchild any day now, and she is also a 1st Grade Teacher. We were in her classroom last week setting up for the sub who will be coming in to cover for her when school starts this coming Wednesday. Since it's too hot in the afternoon for her, we went right after I walked in the morning. I didn't get in any biking miles or exercise DVDs done. I felt like I was cheating!! It was funny!
Today was normal. Walked w/DH then got on the recumbent for 13.75 miles in 51 mins and an episode of Ray Donovan then worked out to a 30 min kettlebell DVD.
08/11 - 7.28 miles
08/12 - 1.59 miles
08/13 - 6.13 miles
08/13 - 13.75 bike miles
Hope everyone has a fun Sunday!

Congratulations to Tazzythatsme on making goal. Sorry you'll be out of commission.
Vhuber - makes me tired just thinking about it!
Sussexbythesea - glad you're able to get around a little but don't overdo it.
As for me, I haven't moved as much as I'd like but I'm hanging in there, just barely. Tomorrow I'm supposed to run the annual local 5k but it's supposed to be like 100F out so I may be walking.

On Thursday I was doing a ride in two halves. Well I didn't make the second half. There was an accident, there were perimedics, there was Lifeflight to Portland OR and 2 days in the hospital. I am home now, but doc says off the bike for two weeks. Brand new helmet, 2 weeks old. Getting a replacement, Oh well that is what I have a turbo trainer for. I just don't know if I will make 275 mile goal this month. I am going to give it hell for my mileage goal, but I am just not sure how this is going to play out yet.

08/09 - 02.0 miles walking
08/10 - 19.0 miles cycling
08/11 - 18.0 miles cycling (and crashing)
08/12 - 01.0 miles dragging the nurse around the hospital

Total: 142.0 miles
Still in trama care

@anaconda469: Oh my...ouch and double ouch! I am glad you are okay....but gal two nasty accidents would make me think. Be glad for that helmet. My PT told me that my helmet would not save my head going downhill at 48 mph. It made me take a look at the risk and I stopped racing in triathlons. Hope you fell better soon.

Susan, You need to evaluate whether road biking in your city is like committing suicide. Glad you're going to heal, but maybe you should stick to the mountain bike.1

@anaconda469 Ouch!! I'm so sorry. Hope you heal fast and soon.
I managed 2 miles of laps around the halls at work. I also got to study for my Advanced Cardiac Life Support renewal, plank in an empty room with a couple of the coworkers, read pages and pages of the MFP forums, check Facebook more times than one should be on it and do a couple of jigsaw puzzles on my Magic Puzzles app. Definitely one of my better shifts.

Oh anaconda, I'm so sorry!!! Please take care and I hope you heal quickly!
I'm here, I e been moving but not updating, sorry! I'm trying not to drown in workload and work stress and drama. My school district's Union may strike any day. It's crazy. We teachers have to turn in our keys daily and check them out each day. I guess the many many of us work in our classrooms on the weekends, I guess we have weekends off now!! Oh well. It is ugly how we are being treated, and I sure hope for our students' sake that it's resolved soon

Anaconda - Ouch! Another very scary one. I'm with Dean, maybe mountain biking. Don't worry about your miles at this point. Just get well. You usually end with so many over goal I think you will be fine, but if it's close we'll all help you and donate bonus miles.
Kar328 - you deserve an easy shift! You work so hard most of the time.
Scarfe - sorry you have to go through that. Enjoy the weekend off I guess!
As for me, I thought about not showing up for the 5k. I was wondering what the point was - it was going to be so hot and I was going to be so slow. I went anyway and I ran just under a 12 minute mile, which is slow for me, and do you know what? I came in second in my division! I got a medal and everything. Just goes to show, never give up!!! I guess there are advantages to being old LOL.3 -
Hey get well soon anaconda your poor face...and yes I am taking it steady though hoping for at least a couple of miles a day next week0

Oh Scarfe: I am so sorry to hear this. We went on strike at my current district before we were limited to how many days we could be out. It was 30 years ago. It was awful even though we walked three days. We were treated horribly for the next year or two. Now we have been in early settlements since that time. I am so glad this will be my last working contract. I will keep your situation in prayer.0 -
