Bev is riding so much better...

Yesterday Bev and I had only enough time for our usual short ride down Oden's Mill Road and back home. Once we had returned, she said we won't have to baby sit tomorrow so we can do a longer ride. I was pleased and surprised! SO this morning we mounted up and rode down to Fayetteville and around Jimmy Pursell's farm over the route the bike race was to follow. That road was rather bumpy compared to our other roads we travel so I slowed down and took it easier. It was a little hillier than other roads we ride too. Bev kept commenting on how good she felt, how her legs weren't tired, and her backside wasn't getting as sore. Once we got back to the house, she said she finds she has better energy and less stiffness as a result of the exercise. This is all good news and just what I expected. If she weighs tomorrow and has made progress with weight loss, everything will fall into place. The problem lies with the change of weather and coming dark days. She will have to get into spin class and maintain what she has started. Who knows? She could make such wonderful progress she could be ahead of me in fitness by next spring!

Effigy of Grief

Effigies are used in grieving by providing a tangible representation of what has been lost, allowing a mourner to connect with who or what they've lost , which can help with the process of acceptance and emotional expression, particularly when the loss is sudden or traumatic; they can be used to focus grief and memories around a physical likeness, offering a sense of continued presence even in their absence

Island Walk

I always try to help Rachael with Hubbard/Rockford if asked. They had me down for 3 days but at last minute asked for the other day. Work at Rockford is slow so working isn't hard, but not following my usual routine tired me out a bit. I still had some work I could take care of up in Cullman. Some bushhog work and other little items but the high temps held me back a bit. I did ride my bike a little and got in some of my walking in addition to some chores. Max needed to be delivered to Charlotte, SC for his drum major camp. I volunteered to take him. I was glad to be able to perform this chore for him but the long trip up and back combined with extra heavy traffic in the Atlanta are, which extended to within 30 miles of Alabama, combined to really tire me out. There had been a problem with my left rear wisdom tooth for over a year, so I decided I should get it taken care of before I wound up isolated somewhere in PEI. The extraction didn't appear to be problematic until just be...

Altras

So I've gotten around to buying those Altra Zero Drop running shoes and have begun the transition program to get used to them. My only problem so far has been that sore gluteus muscle I got from the scooter falling on me. But I've managed two days of running and will continue to extend my distance until I get up to something near the training program for the Half Marathon. I don't know if Joe has signed us up for the run or not.
