Senior needs help with my work outs.

Trying to get Bach into our morning routine walks. Yesterday & this morning Bella & I did 3 km together.

I must've missed something: are you bringing a dead composer along?

I must've missed something: are you bringing a dead composer along?

I was never any good at spelling, lol, I meant “ back”. I do listen to music while walking, but usually soft rock, not classical.

 

[Cate]

Nice walk, Mike

 

[Llama]

I'm an idiot sometimes, thank you. I thought maybe I missed that you'd got a second dog.

My wife & I came down with Covid. We’re both fully vaccinated & had a booster in June. I tested positive on Sunday, and my symptoms are almost completely subsided, just a little runny nose. My wife tested positive on Wednesday & her symptoms are very similar to what mine were, basically a sinus cold, with aches and pains of the flue.
Our energy level has remained stable though. I’m still walking with Bella every day, Sharon ran 5k yesterday and walked with Bella and me this morning.

 

[Llama]

Take it easy, even if you feel ok. Great to hear you both got mild cases though!

 

[Cate]

I feel getting Covid is inevitable now as we both got it after 2 shots & 2 boosters & like you & your wife, we only had mild symptoms & got over it fairly quickly. We both took it easy for a week though & just had gentle walks each day.

 

[mddolson]

It’s been a week since my wife and I test negative for Covid. We still have mild symptoms (sinus congestion & occasional cough) but are otherwise good. We continue with our daily walks & my wife runs every other days. She does report being out of breath during her runs.

 

[Llama]

Great to hear.

 

[Cate]

I'm glad you're both over the worst of it. Does your wife carry a puffer on her runs, Mike? It might not be a bad idea.

 

[mddolson]

She has not found it necessary to use an inhaler yet.

Time to get back on the work out routine. We ent to Jamaica in November for our anniversary & basically were bad! Food, drinks laying around on the beach etc.
Add Christmas & New Years, I’m up 10 lbs.
Started today, 1/2 hour walking Bella & 1/2 hour strength training. Tomorrow 1/2 hour cardio on the stairclimber.

 

[Cate]

I hope you had a wonderful time in Jamaica, Mike. You'll lose the extra weight in no time as you are very determined when you set your mind to it

 

[Llama]

Good to hear from you! 10 pounds are not nothing but also not crazy for 2 months of the rails. I hope you enjoyed yourself.

 

[mddolson]

We did, had fantastic weather 29C every day. We stayed at the Secrets Montego Bay. Went for a scuba dive & snorkeling. A great relaxing time.

 

[mddolson]

Today’s cardio workout on the Treadclimber.
2 down 3 to go

 

[Llama]

Good work! You kept a pretty decent pace to keep your heart rate up like that.

 

[mddolson]

Here’s yesterday’s strength & this morning’s cardio session. The new update on our Apple Watches adds some neat data summaries on heart rate zones during the workouts.

We’re headed to Samana Bay, D.R. on March 18. For two weeks. We’re hoping to see humpback whales, in the bay. We have booked a whale watching tour.
