<p>MiamiDAP, you will never swim with me when I tell you this, but I like swimming for nasal lavage when I am sick. A few flip turns, a few backstroke starts, and I can breathe again. </p>
<p>Swam at masters for the first time in a long time today. Maybe 2600m? I forget the warm up.</p>
<p>No, I wasn’t sick.</p>
<p>MOWC, with conferences like that I might have to take up law. ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Don’t do it! It’s a trap! For every job like MOWC’s, there’s one like mine - and I can guarantee you don’t want that. </p>
<p>Just switched from MyPlate to MyFitnessPal. Not sure that I quite understand how it’s going to work when synced with Runkeeper, but I’ll let you know once I have done some exercise. Things like weight I logged in MFP have automatically logged into Runkeeper. I’m guessing exercise will automatically sync to MFP. Report to follow (I know you’re all anxiously awaiting).</p>
<p>Reflecting on the last 17 months, I’ve had a lot of fun adding more exercise into my routine. More people should try it, I think. They might like it!</p>
<p>Edit: learn to count, Deborah. lol.</p>
<p>Sabaray, I made the move 10 days ago or so. I don’t track my food religiously though. It has automatically synced my exercise on RunKeeper and then adds those calories burned back into my allowed calories for the day. So far, I’m satisfied.</p>
<p>I see that now, abasket, very cool! And it adds my food from MFP to Runkeeper. I do like some of the tips and things on Livestrong (particularly the nutrition stuff) but MFP seems to be more user friendly. I have not been very good on the nutrition/food end of things lately. </p>
<p>5.3 mile run today, time for a walk with Sabadog.</p>
<p>Most excellent hike today. Mt. Avalon. Steep and challenging, but short. Four miles round trip. Better combo than the steep and long hikes I’ve been doing.</p>
<p>On whiskey… I had a wee nip of Oban, sitting in my camp chair looking at the bundling brook. Big salad and buffalo hot wings at the Woodstock inn. Life is good…</p>
<p>That still looks like a heck of a hike. I think I’d be okay if I ended up at the Woodstock Inn though.</p>
<p>Hugs to MOWC. </p>
<p>Jealous of interesteddad! Oban and leaf peeping.</p>
<p>I just went for a long walk today.</p>
<p>Two years today of my running streak. 4102 miles. I guess yesterday was actually 2 years and today is the anniversary. Average 5.6 miles a day. Today was 1 mile at 3:30am before our 6am flight to Vancouver ( via MSP). Running is stupid.</p>
<p>That’s incredible, MOWC. </p>
<p>I was just feeling really good about my September mileage - almost 100 miles! 98.2. Guess I should have squeezed in a few more miles. I started tracking with Runkeeper on March 31st - 429.2 in 6 months. Maybe that’s my goal for October - to break 100 miles.</p>
<p>That’s a good goal Sabaray and fully impressive to me!!!</p>
<p>Congrats MOWC - the amount of time, amount of miles, amount of effort to keep it going. Really all a tribute to what a dedicated soul you must be. And you must have legs of steel. :)</p>
<p>Have a safe, productive and fun trip.</p>
<p>Congrats MOWC on the streak, Sabaray on an impressive past 6 months, and Abasket on meeting your September goal. Fine running, all!</p>
<p>I tend to catch the running posts, but I should also say congrats to one and all here getting out and staying active, whether walking, running, hiking, swimming, lifting, you name it. Kudos! It is uplifting to read the posts.</p>
<p>Tent packed. Mickey d for brunch. Hiking Chippewa trail up black mountain.</p>
<p>Agree with Deborah - every activity you all do encourages me to get out there and do SOMETHING. We all ROCK. :)</p>
<p>We should ALL be patted on the back for our persistence! That’s what it takes.</p>
<p>Establishing a habit is the hard part! Definitely kudos to those who stay with it. </p>
<p>I am trying to come back after a period of not doing very much. It was so easy for the time I used to spend working out to get filled with sedentary activities. </p>
<p>Today was good: slow little run, then masters. Now to relearn how to eat. I feel entitled to a trip to Starbucks and a treat, but that would undermine my work.</p>
<p>Lizard, you can still go to Starbucks - but keep it to a skinny latte or something - they have calorie counts there - you just have to look for them. :)</p>
