Vannie - Glad you got some happy news. Your approach seems quite reasonable.

The first week of Aug was great for workouts. This past week not so much. Tue was just toe yoga and PT stretches, Wed just toe yoga, Thu just a run (no warmup stuff or stretch after...very naughty!) and toe yoga, Fri just toe yoga. And Cyric's walks every day. Next week I will do better!

Vannie - Maybe the cooler weather will provide some motivation for you. Much more pleasant these last few days.

Sandy - How are your birthday goals going? I did hanging knee raises yesterday and should probably be doing more on the pull up bar as even that wasn't easy.

I have made progress, but I am nowhere near the full expressions of said goals. I was really hit or miss on working towards them until the last three weeks. I probably waited too long to get serious. Maybe by the time I'm 70. I am happy that I am using heavier weights for the 24 days of Caroline compared to Dec 2021.

Progress is good. Now I have to do more hanging stuff.
I'm usually happy to get through Caroline's workouts - I don't even worry about increasing my weight!

I am eagerly awaiting Trifecta's information on her teacher training. I think that is next for me.

We spent the wknd with my FIL and stayed an extra day bc Saturday we went to a new Ren fest in ND. It was fun. Very small and very few vendors so I didn't buy anything, which is pretty much unheard of. No workouts Fri-Mon except toe yoga and some dog walks on Fri and Mon. Back at it yesterday. I'm starting to work on Halloween crafts!

We were up at 5:50 to get ready and get to opening day of the MN Ren fest on time so it's been a long day! It was fun though!

I've read your posts about the different festivals you go to, so.. inquiring minds want to know - how many Men fest do you attend yearly? And what is the longest you travel to get there?
