NOPE! Not today.

Who said that?

That’s a thought. I do have a nice hybrid bike. Today, I walked over 2 miles up a steady incline. My legs feel a bit heavy, as if I pushed a bit too hard. I sometimes forget that I’m 70, and have cardiac issues. I have been medically cleared to work out, though my cardiologist hasn’t a clue about how stubborn and driven I can be. The good news is that I’m a trained medical professional, myself, and would recognize any warning signs that I’m overdoing it.

That photo hangs in my living room, and has, since several months after the attacks.

Those of us, who are old enough, remember exactly what we were doing, when we heard a plane had hit the first tower. We were glued to the T.V., for the rest of the day. It is still a very vivid memory. I’m sure we smokers had a few extra cigarettes on that awful day. I lived in NJ, at the time. New Yorkers were leaving the city, in droves, crossing into NJ, to escape the carnage. Many of the people who worked in the towers were from NJ. A nurse I worked with lost her brother. He was a civilian, who worked in one of the towers. I had friends, who lived in NYC, who could see the towers falling. How traumatic that must have been. I tried to volunteer to help, but was told I wouldn’t be needed. Needless to say, it was a day none of us will ever forget. It led to my son-in-law, Tony, deciding to enlist in the Army. He would be killed in action on March 4, 2010., in Afghanistan, another day I’ll never forget. Let us all pause for a few moments, today, to reflect on what happened 20 years ago, and pray that we never experience a similar tragedy. Also, please pray for the souls lost on that day, and their families. And let us never forget those brave young men and women, who sacrificed their lives, in a far away desert, so that the rest of us could continue to enjoy our freedom, here at home. Thanks for listening. Kat

@Lilley, Hete’s hoping the next few weeks will be better than the last few. Nice to see you posting again.

I work out every single day, without any days off. I do that, so that I won’t slack off. I know that the American Society of ( insert authoritative government initials here) recommends exercising at least 3 times per week, and that most people do rest a few days. I’m wondering if that is why some days seem more difficult than others. Some days, I am certain I can’t maintain 35 minutes, without a break, at 3.5 mph with a 2.5 to 3% incline, but I usually power through, without stopping for a break. So, every single day I power walk almost 2 miles up hill. That’s pretty impressive for an old lady, methinks!

Having recently just traveled cross country, I must warn you that some of the fitness centers, in hotels, were closed, do to Covid-19. I expect that even more may be, now, because of the Delta variant. However, you can always run, outside….
