sober4life 32,884 Posted March 30 I walked to the lake and back today. I finally figured out where the baby ducks were hiding I mentioned before. I thought today why haven't I seen them yet so I went looking for them and they actually hide under the bridge I walk on every day. There were 3 new baby cows today as well. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sober4life 32,884 Posted March 31 I put gravel down on my whole driveway. If that's not exercise I don't know what is. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightjar 7,893 Posted April 7 (edited) Full session of yoga this afternoon. I made myself do it even though I was effin knackered. I've had a very stressful few days, poor sleep quality and a few night terrors happening So, it was definitely time to roll the yoga mat out. I've made the bed up fresh too so fingers crossed I will get a good sleep tonight and be more hooman, less zombie tomorrow * *=nightjar Edited April 7 by Nightjar 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sober4life 32,884 Posted April 8 I walked to the lake and back today. I saw another eagle. I looked it up and golden eagles can fly 200 MPH! Of course they are part of the reason I have to buy a rabbit to be able to see any rabbits now.Eagles used to be a rare once or twice in a lifetime sight here in Ohio. Now I see them about every time I leave the house. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
In2deep4me 2,169 Posted April 8 Been averaging over 10K steps the past week. A little cardio every couple of days. Went climbing for a few hours this past Saturday, as usual. That was a 20K step day! Rest of my workouts has been repairing cars for neighbors and hauling stuff off to the dump for them. Made some decent money just fixing cars. Considering what the dealers and some local mechanics are charging they're thrilled. I have a few people sending me a list of what they want me to do. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

APFSDS 2,021 Posted April 9 I tried running yesterday. I almost cried that I COULD run again. Did 6km with only a bit of effort. I remember in 2006 when I started running (around April), I cried that I COULDN'T do half a kilometer without pain... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sober4life 32,884 Posted April 11 I walked a few miles. I still feel pretty beat up. Maybe I'm just old. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
In2deep4me 2,169 Posted April 12 Got really busy this past weekend. 20K steps each day and climbed about 3hrs one day and 2 hours next day. Today is rest day. Get lots of protein and aminos. Muscles very sore. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APFSDS 2,021 Posted April 13 My mtb bike swallowed a branch, so I guess no that sort of exercise for a week until my derailleur arrives Walking and walking, some running. A remote event is coming up next week, gonna do my part. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
In2deep4me 2,169 Posted April 13 @APFSDS - Bummer on the derailleur. Stuff happens. I'm tuning up our mtb bikes and getting them ready to ride this weekend. I already found out the hard way last season that bleeding disc brakes on a bike can be as much of a pain as doing it with cars. I got a bleed kit with all the bits, new fluid, and pads. Once I got it ironed out the braking was awesome. So hopefully this season is just a few minor adjustments. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightjar 7,893 Posted April 13 11276. Great walk I needed it so much today and it made me feel so much better Did a bit of exploring in a new area and was walking for about 2 hours. Perfect 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably lost my temper a few times an hour Some walking today uphill. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sober4life 32,884 Posted April 13 (edited) I am lost bleeding the brakes of a bicycle right? I never knew any bicycle that had brake fluid or maybe that's why my bikes didn't last too long? I can't be that bad right my whole life not knowing about this? Edited April 13 by sober4life 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hydraulic disc brakes are great, but it's a pain in the backside to do certain maintenances on them - or at least for me Cables are ok, just get a cable and swap it, tension it and done! Hydraulics... speshul mineral oil, speshul cup, speshul plug, speshul tubes, speshul bag, speshul syringe... irritating if there's an easier way to do this... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightjar 7,893 Posted April 14 10520. Didn't enjoy my walk today which is unusual. Maybe it was just tiredness. I am pretty knackered at the minute but I thought it was important for me to go anyway to keep the stress under control. I didn't like going in the middle of the day either, there was too much going on out there for my liking.... Building going on everywhere Anyway, I took a photo on my walk today. I managed to find a bit of land the builders haven't got hold of yet Pic in gallery 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APFSDS 2,021 Posted Friday at 08:11 AM Pullups, pullups, bow pulling exercises with elastic band. Did some running yesterday, fizzed out quickly lol... need to rest. Had to get two front gear switch assemblies, as it seems I didn't notice they were chewed up too haha. Hopefully some single track biking this evening, then. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sober4life 32,884 Posted Saturday at 07:09 PM I don't know when I'm going to be able to exercise again. I can't stand for more than maybe 10 minutes at a time right now. You don't even have the strength to stand. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not giving up! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APFSDS 2,021 Posted 8 hours ago Resting my feet for the challenge. I'm almost thinking I should go for 50 km. I could do it and it will make my feet into tomato-parmesan ... but it could also be worth it. Worst thing about it is my feet are busted and the rules include paved roads. Cheese grater here I come! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
