Afternoon Warriors!

Usual walking - morning with DD and DDog, got in a lunchtime walk yesterday. No walk at lunch today - Admissions Committee.

Rowed last night - covered 4251m in 30:06, which is more distance *yay* but my split time was slower at 3:44. I think that means I'm getting stronger, but not necessarily faster.

Since I've never been the fastest woman on the block, I'm not too upset, but maybe speed will come later as I continue to row.:thumbup:

Got in another 1.5 miles on the treadmill. Ran the first 1 mile in 7:55 @ .5% incline. Then, dropped down to 6 mph to finish out the half mile in 5 min. @ same incline.

Also, followed that with 10 min. cooldown and 15 min. on elliptical.

Today I went biking with my group. We road over 27 miles! I was squarely in the front of the back of the pack, too. This is a big improvement because normally I'm trailing last.

I posted in the Couch-to-5K thread. Ran my first 5K race!

Here's my full race report:

Fatty Fights Back: My first 5k - Race Report

Very cool. My friend ran it too. I actually drove by Sacramento the morning of the race and was thinking of all the runners. I am so glad the rain did not ruin your run.

Great job!:lunch:

Mornin' Warriors!

Had a wonderful weekend - the weather was soooo nice in CT that I took some long walks with DDog. We didn't break any speed records, but I did push it hard enough that I had a little leg soreness afterward.

Still loving the rowing machine - last night's numbers were 4280m rowed in 30:06, with a 3:30 split for 500m. I did change the machine - there's a cover on the wheel which I did leave closed initially, but opened last night. My DH said that keeping the cover closed made the rowing easier, so now that I'm about 3 weeks into it, I decided to open the cover.

I did notice less "airflow" around the wheel, and that when I'm rebounding for another pull, the wheel doesn't "coast" as much as before. I think that means that I'm going to be working harder to get the same numbers as before - and that's a good thing!

Have a great afternoon, all!:lunch:

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
