Been a while. Thursday I did spinn class...really tough strength workout. Something like 47 minutes and 700ish calories.

Today, rode in the "Puddle for the Ducks" charity ride to benefit Ducks Unlimited. Rode 46.5 miles at ~17.3 mph and burned 2918 calories according to my heart rate monitor. I felt great at the end and could have done another 10 miles easy. The spin classes are really starting to pay of this year!

Ducks unlimited is lucky to have you TXBatman

Yes, you are all invited to come swim at our local pool. There is more than enough room I dont understand why everyone in the nation does not live in FLorida!!

I swam a mile today in the 80 degree pool, 59 degree air temp.

I worked out on the elliptical machine today...after about 27 minutes, I had to stop...got overheated and felt really crummy, which is my sign to stop
Then I did 20 minutes on the weight machines, and about 15 minutes of stretching/ab work.
Got home and laid in my recliner for awhile after lunch, felt icky. But then I thought I should take furbaby for a walk, since we're supposed to get a dumping of snow tomorrow, so I took him for a 1/2 mile walk.
I am done...

The swimming has nearly gotten rid of my asthma! It is rare now that I ever need a puffer since starting my swimming in 2004. I learned it from reading a biography of Teddy Roosevelt. He was severely asthmatic as a kid. He treated it by swimming!

that was very well said, TxBatman, and good encouragement for all of us.

Nice going ewiz. Great job Debbie. At least you got out Dejibo: I know your flare has been kicking your butt.

I swam a mile today, cold, cold cold: Water 78 and air temp low 50s. Brrrrrr.
