Walked on the treadmill today. Actually felt pretty good today. Managed to walk for 23 minutes, and I did something I've not done before. I upped the speed on the treadmill to a speed that I havent gotten up to yet. (whatever the machine default is, I pressed the speed up button four times.)

Also managed to do that particular speed for most of the walk.

So, I did 23 minutes, and did .48 of a mile. Ever so much closer to the half mile mark that I havent been at for awhile.

Legs got tired, but I didnt feel quite as tired as I usually do when I was finished. Maybe the fatigue monster is on vacation?

Exercise kills Mr Fatigue Monster :) I would feel sick (fever/aches ect) if I swam 20 laps 2 days in a row. 1 yr later I do 30 & want more. 35 today.

thought I posted today....hmmm...thought wrong.

Did 2 miles today, slow walk. its humid here, was on the edge of a headache, went back to bed and lounged most of the day. Ahh, thats better.

Back up and at it tomorrow.

new day has dawned, and I slept right thru it. I was too tired to get up and walk, and chose to be a lazy bum today. I mean I do have other things to get done, but just didnt feel like a crack of dawn walk, so DH went without me. Hurrray! DS went to church, and I get to do some ME things. Of course most ME things involve getting others ready to start their week. Lunches, clean clothes, clean beds, clean showers...you get the idea.

Maybe tomorrow I will walk. for today I am on strike.

I was taught that Sunday is a day of rest!:)

MS doesn't care what day it is so after I just ate 1/2lb basa, cleaned pool, i'll be scrubbing pool tile & doing a good 25 laps providing the thunder doesn't get much louder :)

Walked 30 min or so to get to the stores today, then lugged my groceries a few blocks home from the bus drop.

Wanting to go back out to purchase a fan, but I wondered why a while ago I began to feel really terrible (ill), then I heard thunder. Go figure. :rolleyes:

Once I get my laundry from the dryer (thunder = chores indoors time) I'm going to see about going back out, since I haven't heard any booms in a while. I would like to get a fan before the stores close today (5 pm close on Sundays in our city for most locations, save for some grocery, and the stores that are always open).

Stayed in a hotel last night with DH and they had a small pool so I swam a bit before breakfast. Not easy to do laps in a small pool but I got some movement in for about ten minutes then headed back into town and to work. I have Tues and Wed off this week and plan to swim some laps each day at the Y.

No gym today, but I went to Borders Bookstore today to see if the going-outta-business sales had gotten any better. (not really. They're to 25% off now. I want better discounts. The Kobo e-readers are only 25% off!)

They had all the furniture in the store over in the coffee shop area of the store, and had signs that they were going on sale and to not sit on the furniture. (why? afraid the 10yrs of people sitting on them didnt ruin the chairs already?) I sat on it anyways...and when they complained, I held up my cane and said I was thinking of buying one of their chairs. (way overpriced!)

We were there for about an hour, and I walked back and forth in the store looking for knitting and crochet books. I figure if I walked around enough that my legs got tired, and my back hurt so bad that I had to sit down on their for-sale-used furniture, that I got a work out.

Planning on going to the gym tomorrow afternoon. I hurt my knee swimming at a hotel a few weeks ago. (kicked too hard off a wall and did something to my knee) The knee feels better after I walk. Hurts a ton if I sit with it bent, or sleep in one spot too long. Hoping that eventually if I keep exercising it, that it'll feel better soon.
