    i walked last night - it was so gorgeous out! But the mosquitoes have officially arrived and I have bites everywhere. Yikes!

    Today, I lifted heavy, so I feel great about spending the rest of my workday out on my deck!! I love that I can work from ANYWHERE....it is great in the summer - and even in the dark of winter, I can head to the gym and have a hot tub and work from there - ha ha.

    While I most often work at my standing desk, I often work in bed and have occasionally worked from the shady backyard hammock that hangs from the kids' treehouse. One of the many perks of working remotely. :)

    Pretty consistent workout week for me, and off to my favorite track (Laguna Seca) tomorrow!

    Sounds like a blast! Hope to see photos with you on the podium next week!

    Love that track as a spectator. Saw some Can-Am races and Superbike races there long ago. Now you've got me thinking about a mini-vacay to watch some races.

    WSBK and MotoAmerica are there the end of June ;)

    This was just a track day for me (no podiums to fight for). Struggling with transmission/shifting issues all day going from 4th into 5th gear. I think it's mechanical, but electrical hasn't been ruled out. I'm back there again this next Monday, so I will load up both bikes and see WTH I can figure out and narrow this down to one or the other.

    Day was definitely a workout though - dang that track took a lot out of me! Tired and sore for a few days after, feeling much better today after a good night's sleep last night.

    Still had a good time, and still pulled a PB out despite the shifting issues!

    Love these photos!

    Makes me want to get on a bike again. I sold my ZX-7R over a decade ago and still regret it.

    Nothing to do, Monica. Just post here in the thread - your workouts, hobbies, accomplishments, etc. Anything you'd like to share.

    They don't check your ID, so we'll just assume you meet the 40+ threshold. HAHA! :D

    I don't post a lot, but last weekend I had a powerlifting competition. I had a bit of trouble with the squat, but ended up with a 75kg squat, 45kb bench, and 125kg deadlift. Took a few days off to eat back up and rest. Today I am back on my nutrition program and looking forward to bench and squat tonight. I will be hitting below parallel on ALL squats. :)

    Well done, QD! Awesome deadlift!

    One of my favorites! I don't know if it's the workout or the music that I like more, lol!

    CG Peak week has been interesting so far. Between the rain and humidity, camp has been very wet! The humidity was so bad on Tuesday I felt like I was running through water. Heading out for some hill sprints today. Hopefully it won't be too ugly out there. Maybe I'll just use the treadmill!

    Happy Friday kids. Sorry for the hiatus. Trying to find a new gym home once again. I wish I had the motivation to workout at home. I tried throughout my life to create an ideal home gym and then I NEVER use it. Have a great weekend.

    Wow, I did not know you had a home gym, caramel!

    My hubby (an introvert) wants “us” to create a home gym. But I know I prefer my cardio in a group setting. I also know that while I am an introvert when I lift weights, I still like access to all the big equipment the gym can provide!

    ST for about 70 minutes the past couple days. Lots of walking on Wednesday. This weekend is all about getting ready for Monday, gotta re-assemble the race bike, and swap some parts between the bikes Sunday morning, and work the part time gig both days too (although I'll be putting in my notice to that on June 1).
