November

The stark list of exercise days seems to taunt me with the changes since I began exercising.  It's clear I'm not exercising as much as I should, and I've got to make some important changes so that I do.  What those are will be for this weekend to decide; until then, I'll have a blog listing each week to note the exercise for that week.  Perhaps in some ways I'll be better able to add up what I'm doing and catch myself from slacking into the non-exercise abyss.

So for November so far, only walking to and from the car yesterday, but today (11/2) an hour plus of walking and running.   It felt good--nice day, sunny and just-right cool.  Here's a plan up to the weekend to keep myself on track, depending on the weather:
Wed:  1+ hr walk/run (done)
Th: nada (wasn't the plan, but it was the reality)
Fri: walking around campus
Sat:  walk/run in Sharon Woods (20/30) (run was very nice, no soreness to speak of; gentle run, most relatively level or gradual changes in elevation)
Sun: walk + Pilates video
My knee is not as sore since I laid off running as much; I think I need to start listening to my body more in that regard.  It feels nice not having to baby my left leg because of a swollen and sore knee ;)
Mon: walk in neighborhood + pilates 1/2 hr.
Tu: 40 min walk in neighborhood
Wed: 40 min balance ball
Fri (11/11):  30 min cardio video (hurt my back!)
Sat (11/12): walked around Spring Grove cemetery with a back crying out in pain for 2 hours then lifted a wheelchair in and out of my car.  she asked for trouble.
Sun (11/13):  she rested
Mon (11/14): a funky 15 minute "walk in your house" video.  she walked.
