Boring stuff my way. I walked 1.7 miles on the treadmill yesterday...Took it easy. This last week I turned 61...And have mentioned before, I've had 2 heart attacks, so I work out, but never try to push myself to exhaustion. Today was a good day. I went to the gym...They have a former basketball court that they do exercise classes and yoga in. Nothing was going on, so I walked and brought my basketball. Walked and ran up and down the court...Pushed myself pretty good. Twice I grabbed weights...3# and 5#s. Walked and used the weights...Different movements. Tomorrow I see the doctor...Get the results of my labs. I hope to mow my daughter's front and back lawns Tuesday too...Cleaner air tomorrow. The rest of the week...I'll be at the gym if and when I exercise. The air is still not that great. Brian
Ah!! I think I know what you're talking about with clips.
Palliative care is a really amazing service. I'm sorry your co-workers are dropping the ball! That's got to be even more challenging in palliative care. :/ I'm currently working on a Gerontology/Aging Services degree and I'm hoping to become involved in hospice somehow. Some day.

I call them clips not sure what the name is but you have special shoes for the bike and you clip into your peddle. I know there is another name for them but I don't know it
I am a PSW and I work out in the community. I love doing Palliative care but sometimes it can be heavy duty. Right now the hard part is Co workers who do not do there job and I hear how upset the client and family are and they want me in even more. As it is it takes me over an hour to get home and I am doing 12to 16 hours a week and feeling bad because I am not sure I can take on more hours.
Monday-rest
Tuesday-5 mile run
Wednesday-7 mile run
Thursday-7 mile run
Friday-rest
Saturday-16 mile trail run
Sunday-rest
Three rest days in one week. Likely to go insane.
VSG: 3/12/15
What are clips?
And completely off topic - you say that you're doing a palliative case right now, what is your job?

I hate that on the days I wake up exhausted the only way I can get more sleep is by skipping exercise. The start of this term is really kicking my butt.
Monday - should have been weights, but I slept in an extra half hour.
Tuesday - running and stretching
Wednesday - pilates class
Thursday - running and stretching
Friday - piyo class, tai chi class, pilates class
Saturday - weights or perhaps just stretching and rest because.....
Sunday - RACE DAY!! I'm doing the Navy Air Force 5-Miler. I'm a bit worried because I just started running about a two weeks ago and my last race was about 11 months ago and I'm so not prepared for a race, especially a 5 mile one! But, I know that I can finish the race, walking, within the time limit, so I'm trying not to worry too much.

Monday is a walk day for me
Tue 60 minute run speed work or tempo
Wed suppose to be a swim but I am working late so I will probably not get it in.
Thursday 75 hilly run
Friday 30 min strength and fitness
Saturday 4 to 5 hour run
Sunday bike ride but not sure if I will get it in.
I hate to say it but I have not been on the bike like I wanted to be. I think part of the problem is I went to the clips and I am nervous with them so I stay off the bike. I know the more I ride with them the better I will be.
Plus I am doing a palliative case right now and it is taking up a lot of my time. Finding it hard to get everything in that I want to do and have time with husband.
Happy Patriot Day, 9/11 Memorial
Monday-Swim/Strength Training
Tuesday-TRX
Wednesday- 4 Mile Run
Thursday-TRX
Friday-4 Mile Run
Saturday-Body Pump
Sunday 6 Mile Run
Have a happy, healthy week!
Yours in WLS Journey,

Thanks I know for 25k on the trail it took just over 4 hours. That is why we are figuring over 8 hours. I think i might up the hours up the hours if the knee is OK by than. I had a fall yesterday not running. It was an uneven road and I did not know it was uneven and my foot caught and down I went and my knee**** Not what I needed. Thanks for your advice.
