The kids are on spring break this week, so we've taken an impromptu camping trip.
I visited the local Y for rowing yesterday.
Went for a 3-mile run this morning, followed by a 2-hr bike ride with the kids. Then putt-putt with the youngest. We've talked ourselves into a lake swim this afternoon, even though it's early in the season and the water is going to be coooold.
Afterwards, there will be s'mores. Well, one s'more. Which may be an oxymoron.7 -

Definitely an oxymoron! Lol
I can't imagine swimming right now but we just got rid of our snow.2 -
Hey cool kids. We had over 70 people show up for our kick off event and then we all went for a 5km walk. It was cold and windy, so was pleasantly surprised by the turn out. Today we got SNOW! Agh!
I did manage to get to the gym to lift and then to yoga.7 -
Signed up at our local Planet Fitness Gym this morning and did the treadmill on hills for 1 hour, climbed the stair machine 300 steps, and did some abs and upper body machines.. all for the first time. Then went back late tonight and did the same thing on the treadmill, climbed 500 steps on the stair machine, and then ending with the massage chairs. Is it possible to become addicted to working out? The whole gym experience is new to me (I know, I live a sheltered life.. lol) and I just find myself wanting to use all the machines to try them all out and see what they do and wanting to just workout all day. What's wrong with me... is this some type of newbie syndrome? Lol!6

Lol...I can't say I've ever worked out at a gym so I have no idea. But I enjoy the equipment I have at home and I feel the same.
You had a great day !1 -
Today was "cardio". ZOOM!3

Congrats on completing your first race! Is there a next race on your calendar?2 -

Did you get wet? I"m wondering if you actually kicked off the open water swimming season.....

Yes. Very briefly, but thoroughly. Holy smokes, that was really cold. Knocks the breath out of you, then sets your skin on fire.

Hello,
I'm not new to MFP but I might as well be. I have a plan and now , plenty of time to get things right again. Just checking in to see what this group is like.4 -
Rowed this morning. 12km in 1:07. Then took the kids to swim at the Y. Much warmer swim than yesterday. Finally, explored the campground on bikes with my youngest. Heading home tomorrow.2

Wow, that's cold. I think I'll wait a few more weeks.

Don't blame you. It was fun, but painful. It did get my heart rate up though, so that's good.1 -
Just turned 49 last month so I'm almost too old for the 40s club. I've been reading through the inspirational posts. I'm working out 6 days a week and am in the best shape of my life but still have a long way to go.3

@TmacMMM - you did a triathlon! Brave soul getting wet this time of year! OMG - that's a Cardiac Arrest waiting to happen - or that's what it feels like anyway. lol.
Tried to run yesterday, but I was just bushed. Too much going on in my head. have so much to do and I just could not focus - so it ended up being a brist 5km walk.0
