Hi Ladies,
I was exhausted Sunday evening, and though I made it to 7,900 steps by nightfall, I just couldn't make myself get up off the couch and do 21 minutes of cardio/movement to make it to 10,000 steps for the day. I decided that was ok, and I would cut myself some slack.
Yesterday I had two brief meetings with colleagues and we decided to make them walking meetings, so I took a 25 min walk with one colleague and a 27 min walk with the other. Made it to over 12,000 steps for the day.
We have Fall Break coming up on Thursday and Friday and I'm telling you I cannot wait! I have so much to do and it'll be nice to have a couple of days to catch up and relax a little. One of the Italy crew was trying to get me and another friend to do a road trip to Boston, which would be a 14 hour car trip for us
, but I think that I managed to talk her out of it yesterday. At this point I would definitely prioritize rest over a road trip.
SB - I'm glad that you had a fun weekend with your friend, but sorry to hear that you back is still so painful when you walk. My Italy-crew friend has aggravated her sciatica (from mountain biking too much) and she was just telling me last night that she started PT yesterday hoping to get some relief. I know you don't want to go the PT route, but maybe it could be helpful. I do hope that you get some relief soon.
Penguin - Great job with you workouts. I'm going to check out that interval walk that you mentioned when I get a chance. When I saw the news that Colin Powell had passed away, I thought about us talking about him and I'm glad that you mentioned that clip. The graduates were so thankful about finally having their postponed graduation ceremony. It was so worth doing!
Waves to All!
