Another old one.

And another 21 miles fast walking outside. Most days were full sun, temps 40 to 60. Cloudy today.

I will mention that while walking I do a little arm exercise by raising my arms over my head 700 times in series of 70. Been doing that for the last several years.

Old? What's that...

About 12 miles so far this week and absolutely no excuses with great weather outside. Sunny and 70+ coming up today and it's been that way all week.

Today - High: 76°
Saturday - Low: 55° High: 80°
Sunday - Low: 56° High: 80°
Monday - Low: 58° High: 80°
Tuesday - Low: 55° High: 81°

Sure could use some rain though..

Add 7 1/2 miles of brisk walking and 1 mile of slow walking for me. I also jumped rope for 5 minutes, but realized that when you are "old" and have had 2 babies, jumping rope can be a little damp! If you ever meet me, I'm sure you'll forget that I said that!

 

[escargome]

Tues = 3 miles
Wed = 4 miles
Thurs = RATS!! To many errands after work

Total = 15 miles...

An oldie here. I rode 130 miles this week. Today was my first outdoor ride since stopping the beta blocker completely on Sunday. I was able to get my HR higher, accelerate and do hills better and I basically had my best ride since my AVR in Sept. I will do 50+ tomorrow and the forecast for better weather this week should give me higher mileage next week. Oh, Lisa....I tried jumping rope once ... I haven't had any babies but it wasn't pretty...and it wasn't easy. What do you mean by "damp"?

 

[Debbie]

O.k., who's old around here?? As long as I can ride my bike I refuse
to be old! Even though we all are

Now Jeff, you really did'nt ride 130 miles in one week did you??
You are making me jealous, I'm just going to have to work
harder I guess to get up to that kind of distance.

Lisa, ya what does damp mean??

Sat.- Bike 13 miles
Sun.--
Mon.- walked 2 miles
Tues.-bike 12 miles
Wed----
Thurs- bike 13 miles
Fri.- --

Total-- 40 miles Debbie

Debbie,

I am not sure whether I was under the weather or lazy or the beta-blocker is affecting my energy level ... was not good this week... only 6 miles!

 

[olefin]

O.k., who's old around here?? As long as I can ride my bike I refuse
to be old!

Debbie, That is the way to think!

What I meant to say, I'm old to your thread.

I still can out walk my two daughters and two granddaughters, so I must be pretty young.

 

[Debbie]

We all have a good excuse--Just blame it on the beta-blockers
Now get off of VR and get moving Just kidding!
Take care Debbie

I'm hijacking this thread.

There aren't any old people only old clothes.
