Enjoying this weeks posts from SB getting hit on to Superman making a comeback to HB watching her grandson graduate. Nothing that exciting this week for me. The local fire is contained now but our local parks that we run in are closed for a few days. One was used as a staging area for the...

I had mitral valve replacement in 2012 at 55 years old and it took around 4 months to start to feel normal. I was physically fit, runner all my life. I lost 2 pints of blood during surgery and that took 2 months to recover from. That caused fatigue until my body could regenerate the blood. By...

Work has been too busy to walk during the week. I need to do some walks at night but that's tough. Did about 4.5 miles today and will do 5 or 6 tomorrow. The July 4th 5K run will be here before I know it so better get it together. Weather here is starting to warm up but still nice. No real...

Busy week and just read through the posts. Sorry to hear SB is taking some time off. Hope you come back soon. Weight is pretty constant, nothing gained or lost lately. And still not doing much walking during the week so miles are lower than I would like. Plan to buy some new running shoes this...

Superman, I second Seaton's recommendation. I posted a couple weeks ago that I have had PF in my right foot and added heel lifts in my shoes. I put 2 in the shoe after 1 wasn't really working. You need to put these in all your shoes all day. Work shoes, walking shoes, etc. No flat bottom shoes...

Checking in after a busy week. Had a heart echo last week. Call on the answering machine said no change from last year. I need to call and see if I can get a printout of the data. Another doctor visit went well too. Just need a new crown on a tooth (Monday) and then make an appointment with my...

SB, you still got it. But maybe your DW does too! Hit 200 miles for the year for walking and running. I should be at 320 so I need to pick it up. Trying to get back to 15+ miles per week but not doing much during the week. Work has been too much with no walks at lunch or in the afternoon. And...

Haven't checked in for weeks, just busy. Not much walking lately but that's a good thing because my plantar fasciitis in my right foot is getting better. I added double heal lifts to my shoe and that helped a lot. HB, my wife and I just took a weekend in Julian CA. Their fame is Apple Pies...

Slow week out here in So Cal. It's raining and we need it. Spring is here! Saw a beautiful red sunrise on Tuesday driving into work. Dodged the rain Tuesday evening to run/walk with the running club. My dog pulled me for over a mile before I handed her over to my wife. This week I feel like I'm...

Glad to hear good news on STC this week, especially jwinter. Had a low mile week a couple weeks ago and then back to 17 miles this past week. No weight loss, still need to drop a few pounds. Weather out here in SoCal has been colder with needed rain. Luckily the rain hasn't affected my walking...

Congratulations!

It's Friday night and I'm a bachelor. My wife is in Hawaii with our daughter and the grandkids. Lucky me, I need to work. Staying home with the dog. One of our running club friends stopped by during the day and took her for a 3 mile run so she's content. Tomorrow will be a 5 miler but it's...

Checking in after a couple weeks of silence. Not making progress in losing weight. Increased my walking/running hasn't made a difference. Guess that means I need to eat less. That's a bummer. Last week I hit 20+ miles for the first week this year. Hope I can keep it there. I actually started a...

Started a log this year of my walking and running miles. Today I'm at 49 miles, a little below my target. I would like to do 1000 miles this year which is about 84 miles per month. Lost a couple of the pounds that I gained over the holidays. Superbowl Sunday won't help but it's part of life...

Caught a cold after my last post on the first and it's almost gone. Luckily it wasn't the flu, just a sinus cold. So no real exercise except some short dog walks. Trying to lose the 5 lbs I've gained since the holidays. SB, glad your feeling better and have a great Dr visit Superman, I also...

Great job Jack. The beer mile is a good choice for a favorite race. I might have to find one to do in 2018.

Happy New Year all. Today is my birthday, 40th anniversary of my 21st is what I have been told it is. Anyway this year I will give another effort into making some upper body weight training part of my weekly routine. I typically do 15-18 miles of walking/running per week and need to get that up...

Checking in late in the week. Was able to stay away from most of the sweets at work this week. The true test is on Monday! Found a 15 lb hand weight at the Salvation Army to pair up my single. Now I need to start using the weights. I haven't had much success with the routine. Glad to hear the...

I opened my big mouth too soon. Fires north and south of my work. I drive south to go home but usually stay local on Thursday night. I heard they closed the highway that I usually take. Hope it's not closed on Friday or that will be a big nightmare. HB, would rather have fires since I live in a...
