Pud's Friend,

I didn't burn off any chocolate eggs, but I swear I could smell some jelly beans going up in flames...

Did spin class Monday night...1 hour and 5 minutes, max 88% of max HR, avg 78% of max HR. 842 calories burned. Which I subsequently added back on by touring the Blue Bell Creamery in Brenham on Tuesday...with free samples...

keep it up all, you are moving and grooving along!! yeahhhhhhh

that is what is nice about the moving club... just posting what you been moving and doing, helps keep accountable for getting the moving we all could use in life!!

Today cleaning house some, may get a walk in later... did PT Monday and I go tomorrow... if no rain I will walk today hugsss,sarah

Spent four hours shopping and trying on clothes. I know it's not really exercise but it wiped me out!

I walked around the house yesterday. Took a small car ride to the MD office to flush my IV line, and then...took a nap!

Did 20 minutes on the treadmill and will be spending the day cleaning the house.

Thanks to txbatman for keeping the Club together! IT's wonderful to see that the Club has become an independent entity, and doesn't need prodding to keep on moving along :)

I still swim a mile every day. Its amazing how much more time I have now that I have a bad computer I did not realize how much time on line sucked in!

Dejibo, I'm sorry to see you are still flaring. BOo hoo.....

Everyone else, keep on moving and keep posting here. It inspires others who are in the contemplating stage of getting more active.

Welcome back BBS! Glad to hear you are still paddling away!

Tomorrow is the last big training ride for the MS150 a week from tomorrow. We are doing a 51 mile ride in the hills...and Oh Mama what hills they are! The route we are doing will make us climb Rek Hill, Industry Hill, Lone Oak Hill, and No Name Hill...the four biggest hills in our area! Sure they are nothing compared to the hills in Colorado or North Carolina...or anywhere else for that matter...but for us flat landers, they are a big deal!

I broke out the BatDanna for our Because We Can meeting last night and got another 8-10 people with MS to sign it. I am now riding for nearly 30 people who have put their name/message/mark on my bandanna (I am really riding for all of us, but having y'all sign the bandanna makes it feel so much more personal!). I will probably take it easy next week to rest up for the ride...maybe do an easy spin on Tuesday night.

Right now it looks like good weather for this weekend, but the initial models for next weekend are showing a 60% chance of rain both days. I hope the weather man is wrong, but as long as it isn't flashing lightning, I can handle a little rain on the way to Austin...at least we will have a tailwind and cooler weather!

Thats it...training for the MS150 is DONE! Rode 48.17 miles today at 15.8 mph avg speed. Burned 2800 calories according to my heart rate monitor. Since January 1, I have ridden 578 miles in training and spent about 30 hours in spin class. I will probably do one spin class this week just to keep my legs loose, but won't go very hard.

Next Saturday, we head out for 100 miles from Houston to LaGrange followed by around 70-75 miles from LaGrange to Austin on Sunday. I have done all I can do and just have to see what the weahter is like. The rain chance are coming down and the tailwind is staying in the forecast, so it could be a really pleasant ride! Not sure how I am going to wait out the next 6 days...I am excited and want to get on the road and go!

WOW Tx!! that is amazing all the miles... and the ride you are about to do! thanks that is awesome you can do it! woohooooo good luck

I took a walk yesterday, not long one but fast paced my legs did not like it but I did!

today I am going golfing with hubby yeahhhhhhh hoping I never have to give the golf up due to my body!! :D I know I may be hurting from going but rather hurt from golfing then from my job right!! hehe

Other than working full time, I started Physical Therapy last week, doing two times a week... a workout in a pool then she deep tissue massage on my tight spots on my back... I am feeling a work out from it in my lower legs... not sure helping any of the stiffness/spasm stuff or pain... but any workout PT or otherwise I will take!!

hugss all, sarah

Did an hour of gardening and biked 2.5 miles in 15 minutes on hilly roads with my family. What a great day to be outside!
