Hubby's is on his 61st Birthday. He's very excited, but nervous. He's run a few halfs. Personally, I could barely do a 5k.

Keep on losing!

Whether I'm at home or at the office, I make it a point to get up at least once an hour and walk for a few minutes - if I'm at the office I'm dropping things off at other people's desks, going to the ladies room, getting coffee, etc. At home, even it its just to refill my water bottle or change loads from the washer and dryer. (Which I'm about to do as we speak.) I have severe osteoarthritis in my knees and if I don't move, I get so stiff it takes me a while to stand up.

That is really cool, maybe I should focus on something like that and make sure I try to exercise in the mornings before I start work. Do you struggle with sitting all day at your desk when you do WFH? I try to get up at least every hour and take a "lap" by just walking around a little bit.
I don't mind running too much because I used to run in high school. The treadmill does hurt my knees a little bit but I learned that if I put the incline to 2-3% that it takes a lot of pressure off of my knees. Thank you for the tips I really appreciate it!
Hello Everyone..
This week we started our marathon training for St. Jude on Sunday. This first week we were supposed to go 8 miles but coming off my injury and combined with the heat, I was only able to do 5. I follow Hal Higdon on Twitter, running guru, told him what was going on and he pointed me to another one of his training schedules, Marathon 3, which allows for more cross training and a few rest days. We will see how it goes. So, I had to alter my training this week.
Monday-took a rest day
Tues-run 6 miles
Wed-Swim 700 meters
Thurs-cycle 22 miles in the morning and then run 3 after work (had to add 1 more running day)
Friday-swim 700 meters
Saturday-cycle 22 miles
Sunday-Run 9 miles
Long time no post...
Sunday 6 mile run
Monday Spin class
Tuesday 3 mile run
Wednesday Spin Class
Thursday 3 mile run
Friday Kayaking
Saturday Swimmimg
Sunday Walking with our granddaughter!
Have a wonderful workout week

Yours in WLS Journey,
