Vannie, School started today. It seems like we just got out. I have some really big classes. Only 177 more school days to go! LOL.....

Katie, good job on your weight loss. I have found them, so when you are ready for them back just let me know.

Sherry, are those weight workouts on YouTube?

I have been doing Callanetics. It really helps with all my aches and pains.

Catahoula Cate · 08-21-21, 06:38 PM

MT, I think those pounds really want to come back but I'm trying so hard not to let them.

Glad the callanetics is working out well for you.

Vannie, I would've never guessed MN would have so many fires! I think of the motto "Land of 10,000 Lakes" and it doesn't seem possible but that's just how dry this summer is. We got close to 1" of rain the last day and a half. I hope the system goes into MN. I know it's supposed to go through ND. We are so grateful for what we got!!

I've been figuring out more myofascial release techniques on my own using the YTU therapy balls. Probably my most used prop.

Waves to Sherry! Have a good evening everyone!

I’ve been sick with a bad cold the past few days so no workouts. I’ll start again next week. I did get a covid test and it was negative.

We’ve had a cooler than usual and wet summer. Broke all records last year for most days over 110. Then this year most of July and August has been in the 90’s. A lot of rain, which we needed. Although the weeds have over taken our front yard!

MT, yes both Lively Ladies and Senior Shape are on you tube. Good luck with the school year. Summer does seem to have flown by.

Katie, congrats on the weight loss. So glad to hear you got some rain. Your PT sounds great, that’s awesome she is helping you.

Vannie, I hope Minnesota gets some rain soon. Good luck with your training for the October run.

Catahoula Cate · 08-22-21, 12:20 PM

Sherry, hope you get to feeling better soon. I'm glad to hear the covid test was negative.

Leonana · 08-22-21, 01:35 PM

Thanks, Katie. I feel better but haven’t shaken it completely yet. But I came down with it five days ago, so I probably have a few more days.

MathTeacher · 08-22-21, 08:36 PM

Sherry, I hope you feel better soon. I think Covid tests are awful. I felt like she was trying to touch my brain.

Katie, How is the weather in your part of the world.

Hugs, Vannie

The second week of school is looming large.

September thread is up!

Vantreesta · 08-23-21, 02:17 PM

Second virtual Getting Buff 5k is in the books! It also happened to be the second most miserable run of the summer, I think! So hot. Weather 81/86, hum 73%, wind 8 (supposedly), partly cloudy. 4 min wu walk then 3:1 intervals to start but last mile had a lot of extra walking. At 3 mi I just gave up and walked the last bit. Left calf cramped on first run interval so at the next walk break I paused Garmin and stretched both calves on the curb. Paid close attention to it the rest of the run so I didn't aggravate it. I know I should have done the warmup I've been doing but I needed to get done ASAP and it was already so hot I just had to go do it. I had at least been walking around at the grocery store and didn't just jump off the couch and run!

Garmin stats: 3.1 mi in 34:49, avg pace 11:14, best pace 8:10. Not my worst 5k ever but definitely not my best either. Glad I got it done! It felt like a zombie mission in the truest sense: just survive!!

Leonana · 08-23-21, 07:37 PM

Still a bit congested and tired, so not working out.

Vannie, great job on the 5K. For how hot it was, it sounds like you did awesome.

MT, since I went through the CVS drivethrough, I swabbed myself in my car. I wonder if I did it right and went up high enough. I tried to follow the instructions, which said to insert the swab an inch. I forgot on the first nostril, it was probably a half inch. I tried for an inch on the second nostril, and it did sting. But I'm guessing on the measurement. It makes me wonder how accurate the test is if you don't do it quite right.

Catahoula Cate · 08-26-21, 09:58 PM

Vannie, thanks for getting the September thread up. Way to go to finish the 5k...I don't know when, if ever, I've experienced humidity over 70%.

Sherry, hope you get to feeling like yourself again soon.

MT, our weather has gotten cooler thankfully. One morning in particular, it magically felt like Fall!

Doubtful I'll make my goals this month but I think I can still narrow the gap. My weight loss is maintaining and I even lost another pound, maybe 2. I'm also planning to add to my goals a new habit that was on youtube's Upright Health channel. The 25/5 rule....if you are sitting at your computer for 25 minutes, you have to get up and move around/stretch for 5. This is one that I've tried before and I haven't done very well. I'm going to try harder to make it a habit.
