Behlor, good work! Glad to hear you kept it moving!
Pam, hope your bike is bringing you beautiful places in many ways!
Today we had an intro to kettlebells, and I think I’ll be signing up for a class in that. It’s a pay class, which I don’t normally do, as the Y gives so much for free, but it’s limited to 6 people, and what a great workout they are! I finished with a 3.5 mile run, which felt great – I’m absolutely going to hit my 366 miles this year goal unless something happens.
Over the weekend, got a wonderful beautiful long walk along and across the Charles, and some good gardening.
3 weeks to go before "D-Day" and time to really get serious. I AM going to go for a 4-mile run after work today.

I walked 30 minutes on my lunch break today. It is nice and cool here today but I don't know if I can handle walking outside when it hits 95 degrees on Wednesday!
I've been doing Tex for about 18 months. I have arthritis in my knees and elbows so it helps get a good strength workout with core and cardio at the same time. I pretty much just use bodyweight movements as well as kettle bell work.
... and I did go out for my 4 mile run! It's supposed to get in the mid 90s tomorrow so I'm glad I got that out of the way. I'll probably hit up the gym tomorrow. Hopefully they have the big fan running again.

We’re trying – but he’s claiming something about a server being down, or so the Germans would have you believe (I have a German name, I think I can say that).
Nik – good luck – good job with that 4 miler was wonderful !
TM Woodward, Nik I’m dreading our projected heatwave – we’ll be flipping 50 degrees in 24 hours – I don’t handle this well, and refuse to air conditon on enviromental grounds (I’m cheap too).
Great spin class today – the “B” instructor has greatly improved, it’s kind of exciting, as she’s heard feedback and responded, wish I was as good at that skill! Did some situps and captain’s chair afterwards, then just to get SW went for a brief ride on the “Campus Loop” on the Expresso bikes.
Work has gotten crazy busy, which feels good, but makes it more important to really see workouts and eating right as essential, not something to squeeze in if everything else allows.
I've been reviewing some of the posts on here about people's workout. I thought half a mile bike ride was good I guess not.
LOVE ALL,
Kaitlyn
