@Dianne, you ARE an early bird. My routine is to wake up at 6, check my iPad for news, emails, engage in playful banter with my guy, etc, take a fistful of heart meds and vitamins, then patiently wait for my man to bring me my coffee. After I drink it, quickly, (I read somewhere that caffeine,before exercise, is a good idea), I get up, get dressed,, then out the door for my morning power walk. By then, it’s about 9:00. This morning , at @Mac#23’s inspiration, I am taking my Trek FX 3 bike to a shop for a tuneup, so I can add yet another avenue for getting in better shape.

@Abby, sorry you are under the weather. Every time I get a hint of a cold or sore throat, I am terrified it’s COVID. Not so much now, that I’m fully vaccinated. It is my hope that those Americans,who have chosen not to get vaccinated, will come to their senses. It is the only way we can rid ourselves of this deadly virus. The alternative is that it will be with us for the foreseeable future, and we will need booster shots every year. I further hope the rest of the world can also have access to the vaccinationS. As for you, you know the drill: Take your meds, as prescribed, Tylenol or Ibuprofen for discomfort, rest, and plenty of fluids. You will be ready to party in no time….

Something I have always said to my only girl: You know you’re my favorite daughter, right?

One of my daughter’s friends participated in a triathlon there, maybe in 2015 or 16. Lisa, an amazing lady, founded Wear Blue: Run to Remember. Like my Erica, she lost her husband, in the war in Afghanistan, during the same action that we lost Tony.

May I just say, Holy EFF?! IJUST DID MY SECOND BRISK WALK AND IT IS STILL 97 effing degrees outside. I brought water and drank 8 Oz on the trail and another 8, after I finished. As a trained medical professional, I was a bit worried about doing this in such heat. I am fine, though. Heart rate when I finished was the same as it has been. The problem with me is that when I set a goal, there’s no turning back. Had I skipped my walk, or even slowed it down, I would have been disappointed in myself. Being driven can be a great personality trait, or…….sometimes dangerous. KAT
