I'd like to jump in as well. Last month I was exercising an hour to three a day. I do mostly water aerobics and the like because I have arthritis. Losing some weight made a huge difference. I am able to start climbing stairs. However, the day my family set out to go for our first hike....I tore a muscle in my calf. So I am sort of sidelined...but not completely! I got back to my water aerobics yesterday. It was a shortened version since that was all my leg would allow but was glad to get back in it.

My goal is that next summer, I want to climb to the summit of Mt. St. Helen's.

Welcome Roxanne...the more the merrier!

Knee injury (I think runner's knee) so took the day (November 18) off today

Back on track tomorrow!

roxannestags · 11-19-2010, 08:32 AM

I woke up with sore throat, stuffy head the whole works. I'm exhausted so am going to take the day off as well. But on the plus side, my calf feels SO much better today! I may soon get to get rid of the walking boot I am in and be full weight bearing instead of partial weight bearing!! Woot!

Woke up this morning and went for a 45 minute walk with the puppies (ok they are 3 year old beagles but we call them puppies) and my youngest daughter. We walked till just before sunrise and it was the best exercise. My daughter and I enjoyed the time together very much. PLUS I was FULL weight bearing!! Woot! 45 minutes was all the stress I wanted to put on the leg though!

Hi. I'd like to join in, too, if it isn't too late. I'm sort of starting fresh from today onward and would like to continue editing this post through the rest of the month.

I'll list minutes and any interesting discoveries or observations during my workouts (trying to stay motivated).

21 -- Walked briskly for 70 minutes (near the end of which, I found a lovely little isolated park in my neighborhood in which I did some push-ups, crunches, squats, & similar activities)
22 -- 0 minutes (I was a little sore from the other exercise and had more writing work to do; neglecting a workout made me feel terrible and guilty; However, I did a lot of vigorous housecleaning that FELT like exercise!)
23 -- Walked for 20 minutes (Afterwards, I felt like it wasn't enough, but I was on a deadline and had some work to do; I'm realizing the importance of scheduling workouts properly.)

Bele, you are absolutely amazing with your exercise! Welcome Ragdoll! I just started as well.

My plan today was to do an hour of walking and an hour of water aerobics. I walked for twenty minutes and my leg was so sore that I figured I don't want to put more stress on it. So I cancelled the water aerobics (sigh) and I will do the walking in three segments of 20 minutes. Morning, afternoon, evening. That shouldn't put too much strain on a healing muscle I hope. I really wish this thing would hurry and HEAL so I can get back to my normal routine.

Really I can't complain because it is healing way faster than my original estimate but still...it's frustrating!
