I’m keeping up with my goal most days. Yesterday I rode indoor bike for over 2 hours.
Today I will likely head outside. (The street sweeper did come by, so hopefully the glass situation I reported some time ago is better).
Looks like I start back to work next week. I am going to try to keep getting exercise at least several days a week.
Once the new kitten and the older one are adjusted it may be easier. I find myself locked up with the kitten for a couple of hours a day at this point. When I lock up the older one and let the younger run around, I get my weights/stretching in, but can’t do the bike (she’s too curious and may get badly hurt if she sticks her paws in the spokes).
While I’m definitely on the “light” side compared to this group, I do try to walk daily, stretch and do some light lifting. However, I’ve recently developed pretty severe plantar fasciitis in my heel. I’ve been doing some exercises and stretches specifically aimed at that but in the meantime I haven’t been able to walk. I don’t have access to a pool. Any suggestions on how I can continue to exercise while I wait for this to “heal?” 
@HMom16, do you have light weights? You can do your upper body while seated. Seems like there are a fair amount of stretches you can do while seated. Do you have a stationary bike? Seems like you MIGHT be able to ride that if you place your foot correctly?
Warming up here (understatement). It was a gorgeous 62 degree morning, but will get really hot over the next few days. 4.1 outside miles this morning on tired legs. This running across the state of Tennessee (virtually) isn’t easy! A person named Gingerbread Man won the thing in 11 days and is now on his way back across the state. That’s 635 miles in 11 days. (sorry if I posted this before)
@HMom16, is it time for new shoes? I find a change of shoes will help with PF. Or even a new pair of arch supports. I get heel pain also. It was most likely because it was snowy and I was walking in a pair of supportive but not great pair of boots. Also I swear it was the grade of the road I was on. Since I’ve changed to trails or all purpose trails, my heel pain is much better.
@HMom16 Do you have a Strasburg sock, by chance? Those things will help while you sleep or even sit for long periods of time. Also, always massage the arch and stretch calves before standing up. And always wear supportive shoes. Don’t go barefoot. PF is a beast. I am sorry.
I ate a lot of extra carbs yesterday. I was just feeling drained and it helped a lot. I slept all night without waking up! Not even to pee! The downside is that I slept funky on my ankle. I think a cat sat on it through the night. Getting out of bed was ouchy. But once I worked it out it seemed fine and has since. I ran 4 loops in the hilly neighborhood behind me and it went well. Then the video was agility and endurance. Oh my. I will say a couple of the agility exercises I did relatively well on. Some of the others? Oy. And one I just made up my own footwork because I… just… could… not… get… it… down… Obviously, a dancer I am not.
Potatoes almost always cures what ails me. 
@HMom16 - if the heel doesn’t seem to be improving with the stretching/exercises, you might want to get it checked out. I was sure I had PF last fall, but an x ray showed bone spurs in my heel. Unfortunately here is not a thing I can do for that, but the good news is that I have gotten better on my own.
Thanks for all of the suggestions, some good ideas!
@ClassicMom98 I’ve seen videos about the sock but haven’t tried it. I had PF about 20 years ago and wore a boot for awhile when sleeping but it didn’t really help.
@deb922 Good suggestion, my sneakers are only a few months old but I may need to look into some new ones.
One thing that I’m wondering - is it typical to have the burning heel pain while sitting? I thought it only happened when walking or standing…anyone else know?
I’ve still been doing my stretches and arm exercises but I’m missing my walks, particularly since the weather has been so nice the past few days.
Hadn’t done any weights since Sunday, so that was today. I did 10 minutes on the bike, which is sort of a joke, but I always figure it’s better than nothing. My back had been feeling a bit twitchy and feels better now, so I’m glad I did it.
@HMom16 have you ever tried chair exercises??? Search on YouTube for “chair exercises”. Here is one example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azv8eJgoGLk
@1214mom 2 hours on the inside bike!??? Holy moly that is a long time! Do you enjoy that long of an inside ride? I think I’d be more inclined to speed up my ride and shorten the length of time.
Ran a little under 3 miles this morning before the rain came in. Rained most of the day but stop about 7pm so added in a 1.5 mile walk.
@abasket, I didn’t do the two hours all at once.
If I have a good book or magazine riding inside isn’t too bad. I much prefer the bikes at the gym to what I have, but it’s got me moving, so I’m good.
A nice mild day here in the neighborhood. I went to the outdoor pull-up bar in the local park. I took my sack of wipes, hand sanitizer, face mask, rags, timer, water, chalk, etc. Plus a couple of dumbbells. Packing for the park reminds of packing for vacation with the little ones. 
A 1-hour smorgasbord of exercises including muscle-ups, dips and thrusters and, in between sets, jumping over dumbbell and back. Core work was a combo of toes-to-bar, single leg deadlifts, with the dumbbells, and 1-min max intervals of renegade rows with the DB’s.
@HMom16 I don’t say I actually had PF because my symptoms were all backwards. I hurt it running when I tripped over a speed bump and stumbled awkwardly and fell hard. And then finished my 10 miles. (Ok. I’m not the brightest.) but mine was aggravating because it felt the best when I got out of bed and took those first steps. Every morning I thought this might be the day I was cured. Nope. With every step it got worse. Long periods of sitting it got better. Standing was worse than walking. Running better than walking. But once it got flared up the only thing that made the burning go away quickly was soaking my foot in a bucket of ice water. Not fun, but it worked.
I took 4 months off of running (and walking and elliptical and everything weight bearing) - nothing. So I started back running and it didn’t seem any worse. I tried docs and PT and orthotics. Nothing made it go away. Finally, about 15 months later, I ran a marathon and was sitting in a 20 mile traffic jam on the interstate and had my bare foot in my lap and noticed a lump of scar tissue in my arch - nowhere near where I ever felt any pain. I started working on the knot and voila. The pain went away immediately. It came back a bit later, but from then on my regimen was: lotion up, foot massage, then foot exercises I read about on the Internet. Every time I would get relief, but then it would come back. I started doing it 6-7x day. Slowly, the periods of relief grew and I cut back on exercise times. Eventually it went away altogether.
I have no idea if any of this will help, because as I said, my particular case was weird. But there it is. Good luck. Persistent pain can suck the life out of you.
@ClassicMom98 Wow - I’m glad you’re better now! I’ll try the massage.
@abasket Thanks for the link - I’m going to try that video today. The other ones that I’ve seen were really lame and not much of an actual workout.
Thanks so much for everyone’s help - lots of good ideas!!
I had the bright idea that I would run 10 min farther on my run this morning, tacking on a hilly turnaround loop that I used to always do. It sounded easy peasy when I went out. On the way back with 10 min left, I was cursing my decision. I would have been done by now! LOL. I survived. Video was Pull. The pull-ups were (again) impossible. I did my best and used a bench for the rest. The rest I did pretty well with. I think I’m going to have to modify anything with “renegade rows.” He incorporates them a lot, usually with additional twists. I’m slow at them, mostly because the dumbells KILL my palms even with gloves. So mid-way I tried a modification. I pull twice with the same arm and keep the other hand flat on the ground. and switch arms with each rep. It worked much better.
I’m also trying to incorporate one ‘range and recover’ video very day. They are only 20 min and focus on one body area. They remind me of the relaxing (or not hard) part of a PT session. Today I did the one that focuses on the back/spine.
4.1 struggling miles this morning. It’s getting warmer- but nice. I felt dehydrated and had to take walking breaks. Got it done, though!
It took me til close to 9 last night to get in my 60 minutes on the bike, but I got it done. Did lots of stretching/yoga/light weights at random times during the day also.
Today I walked around the neighborhood twice, in over 80 degree heat/humidity. Also did some stretching, and will do more and weights throughout the day.
I got on a Zoom call with the exercise group I used to meet with 3x/week, and the trainer said that she could tell I’ve lost weight. Day. Made.
Way to go @“Youdon’tsay” !
