<p>Safe travels, MOfWC!</p>
<p>Ditto on safe travels^^^^ MOWC is going to need a day of rest after all this is over. Maybe more.</p>
<p>Did 16 miles today on the bike and enjoyed the very cool weather (50s and sunny). Had to fight through a strong wind on the uphill which wasn’t fun, but overall had a good time pedaling and listening to tunes.</p>
<p>Strong wind on the uphill…that must make it a 20 mile ride for sure!</p>
<p>^^^LOL, I didn’t count it as that, but there were times when I was mentally doing the “I think I can, I think I can.” It’s not a steep grade, but it is 3.5 miles long, which for me is still tough.</p>
<p>You’re comparing yourself to a high standard on this thread, Nrdsb4. Give yourself a pat on the back. :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The downhill strikes again!</p>
<p>I’ve intentionally scaled back my last two hikes. Good workouts, but not enough to leave me crippled up. Just about right. Every hike doesn’t have to push my limits. :)</p>
<p>Ummm, I just had a 90 minute massage. Sooooooooo relaxed now. 
</p>
<p>Glad you’re okay, idad! Hope MoWC is home safe and getting some catch-up rest from the Hawaii trip! Nrds, what a perfect way to spend the afternoon, and a just reward for your recent biking efforts!</p>
<p>I just took S2 to the gym and yay, it’s thundering with a bit of rain ahead of a cold front. 90 degrees again today and heavy humidity. Inside, 3.5 miles on the treadmill. </p>
<p>I’m home- working from home and packing for my next trip tomorrow. No running again. It’s strange weather here- had the storms while we were traveling yesterday and it’s really windy and a little rainy today.</p>
<p>Took my swim lesson last night. Teacher says my stroke is fine. Need to work on kick and not be so stiff. Can’t do a somersault turn yet. </p>
<p>Hour on the treadmill tonight. 6:00 last mile.</p>
<p>6:00 last mile? Was that with or without your bionic leg? </p>
<p>Have had to be out of a routine the last few days with a room reno - it went well but I feel kind of slumpy!!! Anxious to get some exercise today besides painting, staining and moving furniture!!! </p>
<p>I bet he wore his jet pack! B-) Great job, Ohio!!! </p>
<p>This is my 3rd day with no exercise. My life is not manageable right now, and I just can’t run at this level of exhaustion. Maybe it’s just a big taper for Sunday’s Toronto Half Marathon. Maybe tomorrow am in Charlotte I can do a little. Sleep has to be the priority, though. </p>
<p>Yes MoWC, it’s a big taper!! Two weeks before my last half, I took a whole week off of running. And not for any good reason either, I just couldn’t make myself do it. I managed to run a very little bit the week right before. I don’t know if it helped, but it was the best I ever felt for a half.</p>
<p>Back to the basement for me. Good solid workout. Warm up. Core. Single leg deadlifts, TRX/Jungle Gym push ups. DB front squats. 3-pt rows.</p>
<p>I did the short version today. Maybe 20-25 minutes run fast walk this morning, and a brisk 2 mile walk this evening. Cooling off, finally…</p>
<p>MOWC, so you have a half marathon this weekend?? Can I have your frequent flyer miles from this week?? ;)</p>
<p>Good thing Kona was last weekend and not this weekend - not a good weather time on the island ahead. 
</p>
<p>Got a run in - not the longest in history but it felt good. Punted the gym cause it was close to 60 outside, but started sprinkling near the end - or when I ended the run - I won’t melt in the rain, but the iPhone I was holding might not favor the rain!! </p>
<p>abasket, when it is humid or drizzly, I run with my iPhone in a ziplock baggie - the baggies work great. Might also protect it from Ebola. 
</p>
<p>Haha - timely tip BB. </p>
<p>I wasn’t expecting it to rain at all - lucky that it held off till I got home. Otherwise I was going to have to resort to…well…a phone tucked in my capri leggings! I have an armband, but really prefer not to use it. Something about having the phone in my hand to see my music…</p>
