Good Morning! I started the day with a 1 mile Walk with Naydia from the Walk 15 program and the 5 min of Barre Arms. My hyper-local area remained dry overnight but parts the the Great Grand Rapids got dumped on 1-3" in a couple of hours. 😳 We may have some stray popup showers but we're looking at a sunny weekend again. If…

September Goals Total Milage Goal: 49 / 65 Miles Apple Chalanegel: Burn at least 444 Calories 14 times this month. 😖11/14 I started the day with PT so that will be my main workout today. Ryan didn't sleep much at all last night so it will be a long day for both of us. I had 1 client on the scheduled but they aren't feeling…

I took myself for a walk in the park late afternoon, yesterday. I'm not used to being that warm when walking outside. 😉 Last night we were blessed with just over an inch of rain. We're in a server drought status so it was much needed. Ryan and I sat on the back porch ( it's covered) and watch the lightening just explode…

We kept things low key yesterday but did manage a simple 1 mile walk in the park. Ryan's muscles are feeling the after effects of 2 bikes rides close together. He's able to manange things just careful pacing. For dinner we split a small ribeye steak and each had a cluster of crab legs. This morning I had to go "in" and…

Last night I took myself on a short 1 mile walk in the park. It was a lovely evening and I had walked into a great sunset. 🌅 We'll take it easy today. no work scheduled and the weather will treat us niceley just like it did 16 years ago. Which was really great becuase we had an outdoor wedding in a park. @zichab May the…

Good Moning! I ended up running around a lot yesterday. I started the day with PT and then just kept going until 5pm until I finally sat down and had a margarita with Ryan on the back porch. It will be calmer the next few days, thankfully. Ryan seems to be recovering well from the bike rides. Although he didn't realize…

Things aliged and we made it to the trail again. This time I decided to push myself and did a full lap and ended up with 2.36miles worth of walking. Ryan managed to pace himself through his ride and hopefully he will be able to recover by the weekend. @zichab & @Elfirose33: Thanks for the encouraging words. It's quite…

September Goals Total Milage Goal: 30 / 65 Miles Apple Chalanegel: Burn at least 444 Calories 14 times this month. 😖 5 /14 PT again this morning. My left knee has decided it felt left out on PT so now I get to do both sides. 2x a week. I can feel a difference starting on the right knee towards healing so why the left knee…

I took myself on a morning walk in the park and started a new audiobook. A little over a mile in 22 minutes. Not my best but far from my worst. I also stuck to my guns and went straight home instead of heading to Starbucks. Instead a nice cup of tea to take the chill out of me. We've reached that season where we dressing…

I did a gentle 10 minute walk from Improved HEalth this morning. I can feel 2 area on my thigh that need some more recovery time at PT and flights of stairs at a client. I'm hoping to try and test drive a couple of cars. A small dealership near us has a couple of models I'd like to get Ryan into to see how comfortable they…

After yesterday's walk, PT felt good mostly b/c it includes rubbing and scrapping of the muscles. Ryan is feeling the after effects of his ride. Tailbone is a more painful than usual. He doesn't have anything in his schedule for the rest of the week just a bit of remote help for me today. The weather continues to trend…

We made it to the trail! I got a 2 mile walk in the woods and Ryan got his ride in. That's 3 rides this season and we still have the chance for at least 1 more. I'm looking forward to bedtime. ☺️ @Elfirose33 Dottie Fitness Walks is a program I can get behind. 😀 @zichab I hope everything went well with Dennis. I took a look…

September Goals Total Milage Goal: 13 / 65 Miles Apple Chalanegel: Burn at least 444 Calories 14 times this month. 😖 2/14 1st official PT today. 10 differnt type of movements in 30 min period. The good news is I cuaght whatever is going on early that it should be hard to undo it. Mostly just overly tight muscle groups. I…

It was a chilly start to the morning but I took advantage of the sun coming out this afternoon. Off to Amen Park for a slow but intentional walk in the woods. Slow but intentional also mean I stopped for many pictures and to identify the flora and fauna. ☺️ Ryan is already talking about getting to the trail tomorrow or…

I pulled myself out of bed this morning and started a workout from Improved Health. I realized half way through my watch hadn't started my excerise time. 🤦🏼♀️ So I followed that workout up with starting my watch for Mind/Body workout. I'm set on my exercise ring for the day. ☺️ We still have a cool fall like weekend here.…

I over slept this morning and I've been dragging all day long. I did make it out to an client appointment today. Which happen to be convenient as they are only a couple of miles away from Fresh Thyme Market. That store had Ryan's cheese in stock! 6 bags of cheese and a few other items came home with me. Tomorrow, I get…

I slept pretty soundly last night and was able to manage 1 Mile Burn Body Fat this morning. I begin PT next week. 2 visit a week for 2 weeks and then check for progree. My right side is just tight enough to be noticble. They think I "caught it" early enough where it should be simple to correct it. @zichab Thank you. The…

I'm off to a late start this month. I've had multiple early morning appointments and today was no different. Ha, it's on the 3rd of September! 😖 On top of that I've just felt down and outright sad today for no good reason. 🤷🏼♀️ Tomorrow, I hope to push myself into a workout to start the day off. Ryan has a bone scan in…

September Goals Total Milage Goal: 65 Miles Apple Chalanegel: Burn at least 444 Calories 14 times this month. 😖 Happy Labor Day & September, Friends! I was just shy of last months mileage goal but this month I know I'll be stuck in a chair more with work. I did a bit of cleaning up, inspired by @zichab, and tossed out a…

Not much moving yesterday. We had a friend visit last night for several hours. It was nice and impromptu which sometime is the best for Ryan. I did how ever do some deep cleaning in the Den and did some rearanging of gear so we can put the bike trainer back in place for Ryan to use that with fall/winter on the horizon. The…

I took a short walk in the park this evening. Tomorrow, I have runch & pedi scheduled with a friend and that the extent of my hoiday weekend. Ryan continues to pace himself for his recovery. We've upped his potassium to see if that helps wiht some muscle spasms. He, also thinks, he's close to having his next album…

Woke up to some light rain, so I pulled up YouTube for an 80's workout from Improved Health. Only a couple days left in the month and we finsih it with a holiday weekend to boot. 🤩 @Elfirose33 Thanks for the kind words. It's weird b/c he wasn't our dog but he had such an impact and regular occurance in our lives that we…

I'm posting as a rest day. This morning I had a chrio visit first thing and then I found out that Leonard, our sweet old man, crossed the rainbow bridge last night. The whole day has just moved so slow since hearing the news. Maybe tomorrow I'll feel up to moving but today I'm reflecting for a gentle soul who brought a…

I had an med visit early this morning so I pushed myself to take a walk in the park with evening. 2 mile and most of that was talking to my Mom on the phone. Tomorrow maybe the same as I see the Chiro at 8:15AM. @zichab Oh no, Dennis! Not 1 more thing…again. @Elfirose33 In a way, I miss lunges. My favorite were curtsy…

We have "fall" temps this week and I'm trying to balance work / trial life. 😂 With the holiday weekend coming up, I'm hoping to hav e alittle reprive…

We've both been resting since Friday's trail adventure. My pushed a little and he's feeling a bit extra fatigue. He didn't sleep well last night. His calves started spasming around 4 AM and never got any good sleep after that. GI tract isn't as bad this time around. With the weather forecast there is a decent chance he…

After 2 days of rest we made it to the trails yesterday late afternoon. 1.8 mile of walking for me while Ryan biked nearly all the trails. I also jogged for nearly a minute. 😳 Now we recover and see how Ryan's body reacts. Weather is trending cooler for the end of August. @zichab I too should probably defrost the deep…

I'm taking a rest day, today. I'm a bit groggy and my ankle is pretty stiff but I'm working on losening it up. A cool front came through and the humidity is gone and the air has almost a chill to it. 😊 @Elfirose33 Good job a recognizing the rest needed from the stairs. @zichab If the Weather holds like they say it should.…

15 min walk with Improved Health & 10 Min Arm with Fit by Mik, this morning. My right knee is still bothering me for certain moves. I may have to as for some PT b/c it doesn't seem to be improving. I got some sleep last night so I feel a little more managable today. Today is the last humid day and then we are in for a…
