Yay!   I am so happy for you. I hope you heal quickly!

Had a lovely 1.5 mile walk this afternoon at the Broadway park with the hubby today! I hope more people will be interested in joining us for future walks!

I noticed that no one had replied to this posting, and I couldn't help but wonder why. I personally have such a hard time coming up with exercises on a rainy day, especially when before I would curl up with a blanket and read a book.

So I took your question pondered on it for the night and this is what I have been doing to keep going even on a cold rainy day.

Walking in my living in one place, knees as high as I can comfortably get them without tiring quickly. (I do this while watching TV) Walk up to the TV, stay there for a few steps, then walk all the way back (to the wall or couch), then walk back to the middle of the room, repeat.

As long as your feet are moving, and at a good pace in about 16-17 minutes you will have walked 1 mile without leaving the house 

To add a mix, I also have been playing with the Kettle bell, which is actually a fun weight "lifting" technique, however it uses your core (middle area) to do most of the work which means...toning not muscle building.

I have contemplated on buying a Kinect for my Xbox 360 and get the sport game that I love and played for so long, SOCCER!! (If they make it)

Sounds fantastic, I do not live too far from EMMC. I haven't been to the bog boardwalk before (not sure where it is either).

Congratulations on your date for surgery being set! I am free for exercising whenever you are as I have taken personal time off from work to focus on me and my journey.

Will contact you soon!

I was thinking for any one that is in and or around the Bangor area that would like to do some extra fitness and possibly local volunteering for walks/runs as fundraisers that we can do them together.

Have our own little club sort to speak. I myself am in the pre-op stage and would love to have a few people to exercise with to remain more active and to get support, as my journey is about to get even more exciting I would love to have people to share it with.

If there is an interest please let me know and I will get something together. Thanks, and have a wonderful day!
