Abby - the run on the Cape sounds great! Too bad about the scary dog.
I'm giving myself a "pass" for exercise today. Preparing for a colonoscopy, and helping my parents move. If I do something, great, but I'm not going to beat myself up if the next exercise is Thursday's rowing class.

Hi Jaime,
You certainly deserve a pass - especially preparing for a colonoscopy. I hope it is just a regular check-up. Last time I had one, the preparation was more difficult that the actual procedure

My run on the Cape was lovely, got some amazing ocean views, lovely trails, I didn’t’ go very fast, it was too pretty, too hilly and sandy – challenging condign but lots of fun, and I kept going 50 minutes while everyone else slept. Ran into a scary dog who seemed to have no owner, and did not want me continuing on my planned route, so I had to backtrack and re-think.
Today, the pilow won ;-(

Ron, you’r e”habit” sounds like you wouldn’t qualify for the race I’m doing Monday (the Bad Habits 5K). Personal bests seem to keep showing up for you!
Thanks SW - good luck to you.
Today I didn’t intend to run, but is a long time til Monday, so I figured it would only help. I did a hilly program for ten minutes at 7 MPH, then flattened out and sped up – hit my 5K time in 26 10 – and that included those hills, and a shoe tying restart - so I felt good about it. This was followed by a pretty challenging boot camp class.

In other news, I stubbed my toe pretty bad last night- enough to blacken it
I hope it's good to go for Saturday mornings race.

SW, good luck with the toe, isn't it strange how much hinges on the tiny parts.
Ron, legs are great - so much power - keep them strong!
For me it was the "video game bike" for 25 minutes - I set out to beat the house record for a specific tour, came within 10 seconds of doing so, and that record is held by the director of fitness, spin instructor, marine corps fitness instructor, I'm really motivated to find that 10 seconds in myself.
From hyper competitive I went to the opposite – yoga, no trying to outdo the person next to you, (which I sadly admit is part of me) – it was this instructor’s last class she’s moving out of state. No fair, how dare she have her own life!
