Here I go again ...
Not being accountable, taking too many rest days .... That should stop NOW!!!
Lili: I always tell people, the hardest part about Pickleball is learning how to score. Once you get it? You'll be fine. It's not as hard as it seems. And you just need someone who knows scoring and plays a few times with you and you'll get it in no time. . . .  I hope you enjoy the game as much as I do! Waves to Helen, Vantreesta and any, all lurkers!  Me, me and all me: Again, not sure what's up with me. Good grief: 8/14/2022: 30 mins. Broadway ride with CDE & 10 mins. Cool Down ride with Bradley 8/15/2022: Rowed & Rode 8/16/2022: 80s ride w/Denis 8/17/2022 & 8/18/2022: REST DAYS (here we go again!) on Sunday I got a ton of steps. My son and I went into NYC and walked around. First was a walk to the Peloton studio. I got the obligatory picture (but no famous instructor sightings. darn!) and then we walked up to the theater and saw "Come From Away". It was fantastic. I've wanted to see it since it came out and it's going away on 10/2, so my son surprised me with tickets. I loved it! Thought i was going to play pickleball yesterday after work. Got there, but no one showed up. Ooops. The other group I belong to? Has gotten so big it's kinda crazy. They are having some growing pains. Making new rules, they don't work out, making other rules, etc, etc. I am staying clear for now until they iron out some of the kinks. I am registered through Dec. though, so I can go down whenever I want. That's it. I'm off to the bike. Rumors of the rower coming out by the holidays. I'll believe it when I see it. But this weekend is the "All For One" classes, so badges are to be earned. Make it a great day! Cleda |

Good thing about replying to myself?
No shoutouts to answer people. hahahahahahahahahahaha.
8/19/2022: Rowed 20 mins. (a Drive with Aquil), 5 mins. cool down row with Aquil, All for One (for future reference: acronym AFO) 10 mins. warm up with Bradley Rose, AFO 20 mins Purple Disco ride (or something like that - purple?) with Leanne and a 5 mins. cool down ride with Denis! I know I'm old now. I thought, "ohhhh I don't know a lot of the artists in the AFO classes, but I know disco." Yeah. Joke's on me ... it wasn't disco as I know it (from the 70s)! Nope ... it was disco from now. Lizzo and others. Interesting. Not sure I'd call it disco. Ok, not the disco I think of when I think of disco. Yep. Feeling pretty old. Just writing the 70s makes me realize, it was a very long time ago.  And maybe it was me but I didn't feel the usual energy from Bradley on this ride?!? Almost too scripted? He did seem to start laughing and loosening up towards the end. But not on my list of favorites. . . And you all KNOW I adore Bradley Rose!  Have a great day - off to do more rides for more badges.

DH is still not great - turned out he has a compressed fracture of a vertebra (L1) which can expect about 3 months to heal. So today's priority was to POST my doings, and NOW I need to go and do it - but thankfully, it's only 17min, Cathe (chrono) - Hardcore - Stretch Max - Routine 3 (Flat Band) Sorry to post & run (again), but THE WORKOUTS are absolutely coming first lately; but also promised myself my bedtime reading tonight would be of this month's thread!

DH had cataract surgery to bith eyes and it was easy and very positive! So you should be very optimistic about it! CLEDA haha!! I felt old when it was pointed out the the 70s was 50 years ago, and 50 years before that was the 20s! So teens talking about the 70s is like us talking about the 20s. Ouch!! VANNIE Your minutes per day are wonderful! I’m cobstantly struggling to get mine done (DH often bemoans with “again?!”) but the duration is less than your typical days. Go you!!
