Good Morning! It’s a very soggy morning! We had over 4 inches of rain last night. Didn’t think it was going to quit. Gloria-my low iron if from having my hip replaced 8 mos ago. You lose a lot of blood. A lot of times they’ll do blood transfusions but the Hospitalist felt that iron pills would be enough. I didn’t realize…

Good morning! Another beautiful start to the day. I took another rest day yesterday. Well, I cleaned the house but no exercise. I haven’t been sleeping great and I actually took a nap yesterday afternoon. When I sleep in the afternoon I know I’m tired and needed it. Today I will start on the elliptical and see what other…

Good Evening! What a beautiful weekend. Perfect weather. Today I made it a little over 3 miles at the lake. The apple trees are in full bloom. There is a park bench under 2 apple trees that I sat under. It smelled so good. My knees were killing me today unfortunately. I’ve done a lot of bending the last few days plus…

Good Morning! We have been having beautiful weather. Thursday though was hot and humid. Too early for that kind of weather. The trees are finally full of leaves and everything is so green right now. I just love it. No lake walks yet. Depending on how I feel after outdoor work today, I may go down there tomorrow. I did my…

Good Evening! Our summer weather is continuing. Love it! Don’t like it being so humid though. Storms last night. Not bad. Mostly a cloud to cloud lightning show with some rain. I was hoping for another 10,000 step day today but ended up shopping for a few clothes. I’m pretty desperate right now for bottoms. I try to…

Good Morning! Gloria-Glad you’re doing better. Has the swelling gone down now? It’s probably best that you wait till you feel up to it. Our weather has improved. It was a beautiful day yesterday. Much warmer and sun. Today it’s been wet and I little cooler. Everything is starting to green up. The trees are finally starting…

Gloria-I’m so sorry. That’s sound horrible. Prednisone tends to cause weight gain and it also will affect your glucose level. If taken too much it can cause you to be diabetic. Happened to my dad. He was able to manage the diabetes’ with pills and diet until he had to go to the hospital and for some reason they bumped up…

Gloria-I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. I hope the antibiotics take care of this. Are these bites common where you are? Rest up and hopefully you can put this behind you very soon. Mentally I’ve been dealing with a lot. I haven’t felt this low in years. I’m talking about 8-10 yrs. Everyone is trying to help me feel…

Good Morning! Gloria-I’m so sorry to hear that. I’ve read awful things about that bite. We don’t naturally have those spiders here but they have made their way here via trains, etc. I guess they can’t survive our Winters. Yet! I remember reading someone in WI was bitten years ago. They figured it was on the laundry she…

Happy Friday! Another rainy day! Yesterday was really nice. We can only have 1 nice day and then we get days of rain. Anyone doing trails has nothing but mud. When it is nice, it’s windy. People are getting their bikes out now too. We want the nice weather! I was hoping the rain would hold off today. I did the Elliptical…

Hello! I hope everyone had a nice Easter! Gloria-I did cook. First holiday meal since my surgery that I was able to do everything again. The weather actually was decent. Light wind and sunshine. We hit the mid 40’s. Today totally opposite. Windy, cold with snow showers. No accumulations but we’re tired of seeing those…

Good Morning! Gloria-I’m not ready for the 80’s and humidity. 60’s is perfect for me right now. So is your knee better? I always seemed to have that happen to me also. One day it was one thing, the next the other. Our weather had not been good. It has been so windy and the wind is very cold. Feels more like early Spring.…

Good afternoon! We had nice weather. That’s all changed now. I wanted to get out for a walk yesterday after the elliptical workout but my knees said no. It wasn’t cold but it was very windy. Garage door Spring broke so I was stuck at home until they came and fixed it. Then we had storms come thru. Lots of hail and rain. No…

Good Morning! Finally we have sunshine. It was a nice day yesterday. I just did a dog walk. Knees were sore from standing in one place too long the night before. Low 60’s today so I will head to the lake soon. I had to down my dog yesterday which messed up my back a bit. Still hurts a little. Want to go to a chiropractor…

Nice job Gloria! One of the races I used to do had a long hill. It was the turnaround for the race. All the times I ran this race, that hill was the killer. I really miss that race. Last fall was the end of that race. That seems to be the norm around here. The 8k I used to run was this last Saturday and not even 400 people…

Good Morning! Finally waking up to sunshine! It’s been hit and miss here. I took yesterday as a total rest day. I used to take Saturdays off from running except if there was a race. Plus I always wanted to go to the Farmers Market in the summer. I’ve been averaging over 5,000 steps a day so now this week I’m bumping it up…

Happy Belated Birthday Gloria! It sounds like you had a nice day!🎉 The weather here is not great. Rain and fog. So dreary. I did manage some time on the treadmill. I’m just not a fan of that thing right now. So slow. It’s going to be hit and miss weather wise for outdoor exercise. Lots of wet days ahead. A little snow…

Good morning! In the 20’s this morning! Way to cold but at least the wind has finally died down. Trying to decide if I should just exercise inside today or bundle up and get outside later. I’ve been really looking at calories, etc. and it seems like many of the plans put me at 1200 calories which I’ve found to not be…

Good morning! The snow left as fast as it came. We had mixed weather yesterday. Rain, snow and sleet and wind. Everything is dry this morning but pretty cold and we still have that wind. Rest day yesterday. My knees needed it. Today I’m just going to get on the elliptical for a bit. I’m not sure when I’ll be getting…

Good Afternoon! Crazy weather. Woke up to a dusting of snow on the grass. It didn’t last long but it’s only in the 30’s and very gloomy. A little misty at times. Do I think we will get snow? We probably will. We’ve missed the snow for this month. Usually see a dumping during basketball tournament time but this year none.…

Good afternoon! Gloria-nice pictures! I’m glad you had fun. That’s what’s important. Sounds like you’re having nice weather. I hope you aren’t getting that severe weather. Sad to see so many tornados. My Dr appt went well yesterday. I’m done going now. He told me everything has healed. I know it takes up to a yr to…

Good afternoon! Just sitting on the deck having a protein smoothie. It’s going to be a nice day. Looking for highs in the low 60’s. All in all we’ve had pretty nice weather. I went to the lake this morning. It was quite busy down there. Perfect weather for running! Too bad I wasn’t! I’ve increased my walking distance…

Good afternoon! Gloria-I’m sorry you have shingles. My mom had them and she had pain for a very long time time. My Aunt had them the same time as she did and she also suffered well after the rash was gone. I sure hope you aren’t one that has long affects. When I say long I mean 1 plus years. My mom had it in the worse…

Good Morning! We had some really Spring like days last week. Rain and thunderstorms yesterday and now today it’s cold, windy and cloudy. We’ve lost a lot of snow. Most is gone in our yard but they’re talking accumulating snow mid week again. I’ve avoided the lake due to so much standing water. Instead I’m walking on roads…

Good afternoon! It’s a beautiful sunshiny day! 30’s for highs today. Some of the snow is melting. The sun is warm but the air temp isn’t a little cool. Thank you everyone. DH is with his mom right now. He got to spend a few days with his brothers also. He will be home on Sat. They are taking turns staying with her until…

Good Morning! Yes we went to the lake. So many had the same idea! Sure wish we’d have more than 1 nice day. I was sore on Monday though but it still felt good. Tuesday was supposed to be my workout day but I was up most of the night with my SIL. She was with our FIL in ICU. He passed away Tuesday morning. She happened to…

Good afternoon! It’s a beautiful day. About 50 degrees and sunny. I walked with my son this morning. He pushed me. Not on purpose. He just has long legs so I have to move pretty fast to keep up with him. He was going to run some but ended up staying with me. My knees are telling me I walked faster today. I feel good…

Good afternoon! Gloria-I’m sorry you had a rough 15k. I’m glad you were able to finish. That sounds like the kinda race I would have right now. Sharon-so many have had their surgeries cancelled due to Covid. I was worried mine would be but the nurse told me they didn’t want to cancel them because the last time they…

Good afternoon! I had a nice walk this morning. Knees hurt but I’m pushing thru that. I’m glad I decided not to wait for the 40’s. It’s cloudy and gloomy now. It was sunny this morning and felt warmer than it was. DH set up my bike trainer but instead of the road bike, he put up my mountain bike. Much easier to ride for me…

Good afternoon! I was hoping I would have a couple of walking days outside but yesterday the wind was nasty and the temps dropped. Today it’s just cold. Although slow, I was able to get the time in on the treadmill and elliptical. It’s a slow go but I’m making progress. Not like you guys but I’m getting there. I’m…
