NIce work ewiz :)

Sabi, great that you got to walk, but it stinks that you suffered for it.

I swam a mile in the heated public pool this morning: luxury!

Way to go on the mile in the heated pool BBS. :)

Ok, I did the gut busters today and also 35 minutes shooting baskets. It was in the upper 50s when I was out this afternoon. :D I haven't done that in about 3 weeks or more, think I'll have sore muscles tomorrow? :eek:

I'm especially trying to keep as limber and moveable as possible this week, since I go to my PCP for my annual check-up, Thursday. :)

Good going everyone..:grouphug:

Sabi, its great that you continue to move even though you are in pain.

Sally, thats a great idea. Can we encourage you to continue even after you see your doc?

Ewiz, "you da man"!

I swam in the public outdoors heated pool. I forgot my towel. It took seven paper towels to dry off ;)

Just got home from treadmilling. Did .54 of a mile. (that's a little over half a mile right??? I'm math challenged...)

Did that in about 30 minutes...and it was the default speed setting for the treadmill. I didnt speed it up, still not feeling all that great so I figured I'd go slow...at least I was exercising...slowly, but still exercising.

Had a panic attack when I realized my Kindle had been left on for 3 days, and the wireless was turned on too....not sure what happened, Kindle was in screensaver mode and wouldnt wake up immediately. After fiddling with the power switch and the wireless switch it finally woke up, and the battery claimed it was a full charge...and I was able to read my book. (yay! I would have been bored, even tho I had my headphones to listen to Glenn Beck with on the radio gizmo on the treadmill. The radio thingie keep dropping the audio for some reason. I prefer to watch him on Fox News anyways)

Now I'm going to go take a migraine pill (had a headache all day, which is worse since walking) and take a nap.

Erin,

Have you ever tried to listen to music while exercising? At home I watch TV shows when using the elliptical since it's in the room where DH's HDTV is.

I kind of wish I had a music headset of some kind for when I shoot baskets. Though I made up a scoring system for playing against myself and I get different scores depending on how I do in a particular part of the routine.

Some day I might get a Wii for working out to, especially in the wintertime. DH doesn't like me to workout on the elliptical when he's watching his shows or napping in his chair. :rolleyes:

I have an iPod that I take with me sometimes when I want to listen to an audiobook or audiodrama. (I get Stargate audio dramas on cd, they're about an hour long. So, it's kind of like listening to an episode of the tv show...they usually have one of the main characters from the tv show doing most of the drama, with one supporting actor, not always one of the main characters from the show)

I just cant read my Kindle and listen to an audiobook at the same time.

When I listen to music, lately it's been classical music, or one of the movie scores that I've got. (like the scores from Dances with Wolves, and Somewhere in Time...think both were written by the same composer) I have a bunch of movie scores on my iPod, and I'm not afraid that I'll break out into song while listening to them.

Lately, I've preferred to read my Kindle while on the treadmill. The Kindle makes it so easy to read and walk...something that I cant do when I'm not on a treadmill. (but then, I can barely walk and chew gum at the same time...gum is gross actually)

Ewiz, I do like to watch TV while I do the weight lifting. It makes it go faster. I really dont like that one exercise of weight lifting, but it builds bone, so....

I swam a mile today and loved it.

We're being blessed with a bit of Indian Summer here in N. Illinois. :) Today I headed out for a walk, but I could tell right away that my legs weren't up for a walk, so I went back home and got my bike out.

DS had to air up the tires because I haven't taken a ride for a couple of months. I rode for 30 minutes and got pretty good exercise because it was quite breezy.
