Gym is Open - tortorous tuesday

My arms are sore, my shoulders are sore...I'm glad today was a leg day.

I leave for LA tomorrow morning to go see my son.  My exercise plans will be lots of walking.

What did you do today to move to lose?

I am heading back to the treadmill tonight.  Last night, onstead of jumping off after my mile, I walked for 30 minutes which was 1.3 miles.  I plan to do the same tonight.  I also walked that at an incline.  Slowly building up my exercise regimen.

Today (and yesterday) I've been working in the yard.  The snow is gone but the ground is still frozen. Ideal time for poop patrol.  I pick up the frozen dog turds with latex gloves and a little garden rake for when they're stuck to the ground.  That shi... really builds up throughout the winter months.  Once the snow melts...whoa!
     
I also picked up over 200 of my new neighbor's cigar/cigarette butts.  Ewe.  My dog was eating a cigar stump and I was worried they would make her sick.  I made them a sand bucket and left a friendly note.  i hope they don't hate me now but that's just gross.

It was so sunny that I wanted to get out more when I was done so I took the dogs to Elicott Creek park and waked the cement paths for almost an hour.  I took a few bench breaks.
        
My treadmill is all screwed up again.  Don't buy the cheap Walmart model...uggh.

Isn't it great to be able to work in the yard and not be out of breath due to the compression caused by bending over?

I finished my 50 lengths yesterday early, so I did 60. I can relate on arm pain.

Today I am gonna try to chair Tai Chi when I get home.

It is great!  I couldn't reach the ground before, unless I sat down.  Then I couldn't get up.  I used to lay a blanket on the ground next to my garden and LAY on it to weed. I was always afraid a neighbor would call 911 about the body in the yard (ha ha)  I had to use a milk crate for leverage to get up.  It sucked.  I can't wait to work outside some more this spring.  We are expecting more snow tonight though.  *sighs*
