Yesterday stood out in the sun and the wind holding a horse and a pony for the farrier for two hours.
Today will be riding again and testing out Stinky's new 'go faster' shoes.

Or falling off...

Thats very hard work pud! What makes the shoes be "go faster"?

I swam a mile in the rain today, and walked indoors 1.5 miles.

:D His shoes help his wonky legs make his feet hit the ground flat. without them, he's a bit cow hocked and gets tangled up in his own legs. They're his Nike's.

How long does it take you to swim a mile?

I rode again today which was nice. it's tiring both in muscle tone and concentration. i'm in full horse mode once more which is great.

I havent exercised for a month and it's starting to bug me.

Hurt my neck and shoulder (neuro thinks I slipped a disc or damaged something around C5-C6) My neck has been hurting since then, along with my right shoulder and upper back, and weird funky numbness and pain up the back of my head. (described those problems to neuro, and he said they fit his thought about hurting a disc)

Things were starting to calm down last week and I got a cold. (hope it's a cold, the cough is getting annoying)

With all the coughing I'm doing tonight, it's really irritating my neck. I was really hoping to be doing a bunch of walking and possibly starting to go swimming (especially now that my hair is short and I wont have to do as much work on my hair to make it presentable when it's wet from swimming)

I just thought I'd be doing more exercise by now. At least it's not the MS screwing crap up for me this time. (hope the cold doesnt trigger an MS thing...I think the cold is letting up, just not the cough)

I will be doing physical therapy for my neck on tuesday (was supposed to go friday, but the stupid cold didnt want to let me go) So, doing PT will count as exercise. Maybe I'll get some suggestions on other exercises while I'm there.

I have to go choke down some Nyquil now and attempt to sleep. (almost 5am here...hard to sleep when you're coughing)

I'm sure you will eventually come out o f this bad respiratory infex, and when you do, I'll look for you at the pool.

I swam a mile today in 50 mins. The pool was 76 degrees as the heaters shut off accidentally-- very cold!

I'm using my manuel WC, 'cause scooter is broken and I use my arms and scoot with my legs....good exercise...Whew!!!:)

Hi Everybody! :)

I haven't had any regular exercise for several days now, being so busy with an extremely hectic schedule and tiring myself out that way. I have been chasing after Rocky and Daisy though. That keeps me on my toes, lol. I spend at least 40 minutes a day doing that, on and off.

It might be a very busy week too so if I clean the house that might be my main exercise but that's a lot of work anyway. Have a good week everybody! :grouphug:

I'm coughing more today, so my neck hurts more. But, I managed to get a bunch of sleep between coughing fits, so I actually feel a little bit better. Havent slept much over the past couple of days. So, getting some sleep helped.

It's snowing out now, and really really cold!

If I were going to go swimming at the gym, I'd have to take a hair dryer with me, or a really big fluffy (warm!) towel to cover my head with when I was done and keep the car running so it would be warm when I came outside.

Hi Sally, ewiz and Erin.
Erin: Do you need an antibiotic?

I swam a mile today in the cold pool. Brrrr.

I dont know if I need an antibiotic, but I guess I'll find out at 1130am tomorrow. I'd called my doctor for something for the cough and he wants to see me. (was too late to go up there when they called me back)

I hope I dont need an antibiotic, that would mean there's a secondary infection, right? I dont want or need a secondary infection.

So far the worst thing has been the cough and the laryngitis. My nose had been plugged up last week, and I really hate it when my nose is like that, it's even harder for me to sleep when I cant breathe thru my nose. (slept sitting up then) It was weird that everytime I went outside I could breathe better.

I hadnt been outside all weekend, so tonight we went to the store so we could prepare for the snowpocalypse that's about to hit (blizzard warnings are expected to be issued around 3am) and I could breathe when I was outside in the cold air. It was inside the store I felt I was having problems.

The laryngitis is weird too. It doesnt feel like it's in my voice box...my throat isnt even that sore. Altho, I can feel my left tonsil starting to hurt more. My tonsils are ginormous when they're not infected, so hopefully I wont end up with tonsillitis from this now...because I really dont want my golf ball sized tonsils to become bowling ball sized tonsils. That would really suck.

Today's exercise plan was moving some books from my room to my dad's office. Cant lift boxes (and dont have any boxes anyways) so I just walked four or five books into his office at a time. (didnt have many to move) and then I took a shower for the first time since friday. I feel better now with clean hair and not smelling funky.

I think I'll go have a shot of grape-flavored Delsym (OTC cold medicine my doctor suggested, they have orange flavor but that tastes nasty)
