OK, I really had no excuse not to exercise today. I could've gotten up this morning....but didn't. Then I had plenty of time tonight to do a DVD or go for a run or walk, but just couldn't get mentally motivated. This is a problem!

I'm going to have to just try to get myself up at least a few times a week in the morning and do the DVDs. They are short and are good motivation for the day, so if I do that a few times a week I'm doing OK.

A nice leisurely Sunday today. We took our time getitng going this morning, but we volunteered to help with the Racine Spirit of Racine Triathalon today. Spent about 3 hours at the finish line directing runners to medical or food (and keeping families and others from walking into the running area). It was a nice day, sunny though, therefore I know I'm sunburn!

No exercise today other than a little walking.

It was raining this morning and I really didn't want to run in the rain. It was the Cemetary run, so I just got up wtih Bill and dropped him off at the run and went over to All Saints to work out.

Walked for .25 mile, ran for a mile. Then walked again for .25 mile, then ran for .5 mile. Finished by walking for .5 mile. Then walked backwards for about 2 minutes and finished with 3 minutes on the bike. Stretched and that was good enough. The butt cheek is still not quite right...I don't understand why it's not getting better as it's been over a month and I'm treating it lightly. :*(

Just went out for a leisurely walk together tonight around the neighborhood. Walked about 15 minutes or so, probably just short of a mile. Just a nice walk together....holding hands much of the time and just talking! :)

Geeting back to tennis tonight with Mary Jo and crew. Unfortunately Paula was ill, therefore there was just three of us. We played doubles on singles and just rotated every 8 games who was the single....I did the last 8. Therefore 24 games total with a good harder workout at the end when I was covering the court by myself.

It really is fun playing again, even though I'm really inconsistent and my forehand stunk tonight!

Had our appointment with Anna tonight. We got there a few minutes early so we got a good 8 minutes of cardio in--I did the elliptical. Then we did a good well-rounded weight-training of core, back, shoulders, arms, and legs. Not nearly as painful as last week, but worked a little of lots of areas.

Got up early again and thought I'd do the 20-min Turbo Jam again. Since yesterday was the first time in a while, I missed a few exercises as I was just trying to learn the routine. I was a bit better today as I'm getting used to it. It's a good, short workout.

I decided to get a little more active today as I've been just sitting around and pretty bored alot. I got up early and did the 20-min Turbo Jam DVD. Haven't done this in a while, but it really worked me out good and I broke a good sweat.

Then in the evening I did some good crunches of various types on the Bosu.

Another lazy day going out for breakfast in the morning, then just bumming all day. No exercise.

It's rainy this morning and I'm still sore, but better, therefore I don't really want to run. I decided to do my new Bosu DVD. That was about 30 minutes of various Bosu exercises, so it's a good mix of cardio and toning/strengthening (particulary core).
