Exercise experience today....
Sprinted about a block to pick up a couple of sharp metal pieces that were on the road from a nearby construction site and threw them back on their lot and then sprinted back to my vehicle.
I wasn't going to pick up the pieces at first but I have been taking that route lately and was getting a bit worried each time I drove over them that I would puncture my new tires. So, I decided to solve the problem myself since no one else had! |

Before the run day share: Will run tomorrow morning before my first client...my thoughts this evening intense...but what else is new?!...this high altitude has helped my running...endurance...my lungs expanding in Self-love...it has been good for me...for all the miles...for all this beauty...I am forever grateful. Interesting turn of events though...in almost 12 months I will run and this time complete the marathon that has been in my life for so long now...and this chapter of my life I will close with a gratitude deeper than I can ever say. I will no longer be running in this beauty of a high desert...I will only be a visitor next time I do. How will my running change at sea level? Right now I simply do not remember the runs at sea level...how my lungs sang or cried out...but will embrace the change and breathe in all that this life offers me. Tomorrow's run awaits...good evening. Greco

Running again and from now on until Spring in almost total darkness...and my first "Goodbye" run...thinking of my clients and how closure with them will be longer than most therapists practice...but I have always found it essential. The smell of piñon already burning from homes in this place seduces the air...birds it seemed still asleep until my run back and arriving home at 0630 hrs headlamp off, I heard the first chirp and the Crow family overhead flying proud. 6mi...my first breathing of grace for this day. keep on keepin' my friends, Greco

Quick update - what with college and my recent health wobbles, my exercising has been somewhat erratic. Despite which - I've been wearing size 18 jeans all day today. WIN!
I'm definitely going to try for size 16 now.. :-) |

6...and 3
5:00 am My body wanted up. Pitch black view except for the stars that lived this night. A great time to somehow make my way out of the past and bring with me only the loving memories that live still clear and unmistakably alive ...and my headlight. Had a discussion that angered me later in the day...went out for another run to clear my head and rebalance my energy...fact is, I don't live in "boxes", labels are much too limiting. And, I don't live within another "box" and will not accept that label. Could use another run it seems, but won't tonight, not looking for injury in this training phase. keeping out of "boxes" except for those on the left, Greco

5k row and a whole lot of hustle bustle.
Cold is setting in so I'm checking out a new gym tomorrow... it has potential. |

I checked out a different gym yesterday that was way over priced and under served in what they offer. But while there I met a cool woman, maybe 20 years older than me, both of us breast cancer survivors and moms to labs, looking to kick ass. She's a member of Vent and I might join her there and kick ass together. |

We have a spiffy, new state of the arts Phys-Ed facility on campus and because I'm alumni, I get to use the facilities (for free). WhooHooo, right?
I used the bicycle machine, just like the ones at my former PT office used, and I walked in the pool, and sat in the jacuzzi, and then I walked what felt like an bazillion miles, back to my car. I spent two hours, each visit, last week. I decided it was better to centralize my exercise activities to the campus because I am out there about three days a week (working on career stuff), so rather than go east to exercise, I go west. I still experience lots of spasms in my lower back and legs, and the pain is unreal at times, but I just keep going and keep moving and keep telling myself that if I don't move, it will only get worse. So other than those types of things, I am making progress. It feels good that I can move, although I still have mobility impacts I won't ever hurdle like I used to, before nearly two years ago. Btw, the anniversary of that event in my life is in a few weeks (election day, almost). Happy Saturday to every one and Keep Moving! |

My issues of poor sleep and work stress continue. The sleep seems more under my control so I will have to keep trying to conquer that issue. I stay up late.
Today I did 30 minutes on the stairmaster while watching a show on Netflix called "Naked"- something. It's a journalistic doc show. The episode I watched was on the drug Fentanyl. It was not too entertaining, and I really don't want to be that educated while struggling on a stair master. Tomorrow I scheduled a walk with a femme friend (on this site, but don't think she's here much). It will be in the mid-fifties tomorrow so time to dress warm! We will walk in the park or by the river or both. "A body in motion stays in motion."

Well, I finally got back to it!
Elliptical stats: 348 cal, 3.36 mi, 45:00 min, average pace of 13:24 mph. I started with 30 minutes on the elliptical but as the time ticked down, I felt strong enough to do more so I did. Afterwards, I felt super fantastic. Gotta love endorphins. |

Today my femme friend (Stephanie Alexis) and I had a lively walk from 96th St. to 125th St. to 42nd St. It took almost 3.5 hours and was about 7.5 miles and 16K plus steps. Stephanie is a great conversationalist and fun, plus we were both excited about the great fall weather, so it was a very special time. We walked along the Hudson River. I love when someone is cool with long walks...

Just got back from spending time at the beach with my bff/sil. We had such a lovely time and it was just fabulous weather, for October. We walked a lot, shopping along the coast line, and I even found really cool walking poles, made of weathered wood (beach comber type wood). So now I have another pair of poles to walk with and feel safe using them.
Not sure how many steps we walked, but it was a lot, every day. My back and hips and legs were on fire, so much so, that my sister-in-law (bff) gladly lent me an muscle relaxer to take, since all that walking nearly left me immobilized (pain). I slept like a rock, and felt better the next day. We also used the pool and jacuzzi and that was really nice too. It's so true, what nycfem says: *body's in motion stay in motion* Happy Friday to all! |

wanting to get back into the gym and for certain reasons swimming is not doing it for me. This morning I looked at the gym schedule and saw that an old trainer of mine was giving an intro to pilates class. I took it and I LOVE IT. I have committed to a group class and am splurging on myself with 4 privates to get it fine tuned. I am happy about this. YAY

I got to the gym early evening but then my friend Alice texted me and said that she and her 4 year old son Teddy were going to walk the High Line (above ground park that follows the path of where a train used to be). I believe strongly in spontaneity, and so I left the gym and met them at the High Line. Teddy had his scooter with him. Walked 12K steps for about an hour and a half. Wonderful Saturday night with perfect fall weather!

Rebounding...
Anyone doing/done this? I am definitely interested and would love to hear about anyone's personal experience. I am on the fence about buying another piece of equipment... |
