I had a mini trampoline and it was fun. Took up a good chunk of space even without a support. I didn't use it as much as I thought I would and wound up selling it but it's good exercise and is supposed to be especially good for the lymphatic system.

If you have the space, you can get one cheap online or at Walmart.

I use the Band Aid blister band aids and they are great. They stick on really well. I hope your blisters heal quickly!

I hope you have a great session!

Today, (according to my apple watch) I walked 3 miles at work even though I feel like I sat all day. Exhausted since my busy brain has had me up since 3am. But I came home from work and used the rowing machine for a fast 5k and feel a lot more awake now.

Does anyone else here have an apple watch? You can do fitness challenges with them and it's fun and good accountability. I've done some with friends before. Would do one with folks here if there was interest.

Ps: I only have an apple watch because I'm married to a tech geek and I have their outdated hand-me-down.

ProfPacker · 10-24-2018, 03:59 PM

Great workout. Finding mentally and physically beneficial. Thanks. Didn’t know that about the Apple Watch

Greco · 10-25-2018, 07:22 PM

Took several (4) days off from running, no walking
either...blis are doing better. Used a couple of
suggested methods and it is all working.

And, I'll be back on the road tomorrow. Think
my sub and friends will appreciate that,
I know I will. Not running is not better than
running in my book.

Really good spin class this morning!

Greco · 10-27-2018, 12:11 PM

Back running 6mi yesterday under a brilliant light, big sky.
How I missed it...this morning waited for the light
again about 0700 hrs (7am)...light stunning once
again...and 7mi moving is grace...running, a prayer
of gratitude for life...I know, getting a bit dramatic
but that is how it feels...blis healing very well and
cushioned...smiling.

Today I did 30 minutes on the stairmaster.

I ran into an old friend in the locker room. I can't recall her name. She did that running into an old friend thing where you stop and talk, but I didn't have time, so I had to think fast. She said, "How are you?" I laughed and said, "Oh, boy!" She said, "I'm ready for the new year!" I said, "Me too!" Then we both giggled and parted ways. The "oh, boy" was designed to encompass more than there was time to talk about and somehow it worked!

Happy exercising, friends!

Kätzchen · 10-27-2018, 04:15 PM

Today I spent part of the afternoon at a local farmer's market. The beautiful squash and late season vegetables and fruits looked so good, especially the huge heads of cabbage (big enough to make at least a dozen half gallon jars of pickled cabbage). I love going there because everything is locally grown and sundry cooking products are local to the area too.

I downloaded an walking app to my phone. Here's what it says, in terms of steps walked today: 4300 steps (at the outdoor market, alone). I was there for nearly two hours. By the time I walked home and lugged my grocery bags upstairs, my total steps for the afternoon exercise at the Farmer's Market was 4500 steps. Total hours involved: 3 hours.

nycfem · 10-28-2018, 06:53 PM

Today I did 30 minutes on the stairmaster. I procrastinated and went late in the day... but I went.

On the gym floor, Taylor saw me and ran up to me and gave me a big hug and yelled "JEN!" It made me feel really good. She was with Marilyn who I don't like, plus I felt self-conscious that I was dressed gym-atrocious, so I kind of halted the interaction, and she said, "Maybe we'll catch up in the locker room." So then we did end up catching up in the locker room. She's still dating her billionaire who she works for as his house manager, whose thirty years older and sleeping with other women and doesn't know what he wants. I asked her why she wanted to be with him and she got teary and said that she thinks he's her soulmate. She also told me today, but not in the same breath, that she was raised by her grandparents, so maybe it's a "daddy" issue (I say this as someone married to someone 17 years older than me- so pot meet kettle lol). Anyway I didn't tell her this but I thought it. One of the managers of the gym asked her on a date too and they went out but she wasn't interested and didn't sleep with him. I noticed she had a tattoo of a date on her inner arm, and I asked her what it meant, and she said it was the date she found Jesus. It felt good to catch up with her. She cut her hair and said she feels lighter. I'm not sure how much lighter she can feel given that she is so tiny to begin with.

Peace out, exercisers!

Thought I'd do a long run this am...1mi easy run
and the Hill workout took care of any angst I had
from yesterday...Excited, and nervous about tomorrow's
NYC Marathon...nervous? why? I'm not running tomorrow.

But, will next year...so, yes guess it's all just excitement...
blis are mostly a memory but feet remember where they
were...the temps are finally very cool/cold here making
these workouts a lot more enjoyable.

Got new glasses for my workouts...stay on my head without
fuss...now for the shoes in about a month I'd say...anyway,
have a good weekend.

I am trying to stay active in between Sunday workouts...exercise ball sit ups while watching tv and some yard work....I am also limiting salt and sugar (ok I cheated during Halloween)

easygoingfemme · 11-03-2018, 12:06 PM

60 minute spin class. Rode 15 miles. It was brutal. Air conditioner was broken in the studio... But I'm glad I did it.

easygoingfemme · 11-04-2018, 06:18 AM

Heading to spin class again this morning and really hoping the air conditioning is fixed in the studio. I'm going to try to grab a bike that's under a ceiling fan, just in case.
