Going for 5 for 5

It's not my usual practice to announce goals -- too many disappointments have made me skeptical -- but in this case, I am being bold!  I am going for 5 exercises in 5 days this week.  I read in AARP Magazine that you can train your muscles to reduce insulin resistance with 150 minutes of eercise per week, but you have to do it by repeated exercise, not just 150 minutes in a go (like moving chunks of firewood on Saturday).

Today I did the Olympia route in 25:36, which is not at all bad, though it seemed to me that I was not performing very well -- respiratory discomfort and lots of spitting.

A guy I passed up near Global Animal Health made a remark I didn't really catch, but I responded "I'm figured I better use the last of the good ones" (days weather-wise, that is).  It was beautiful -- just a little cool, which supposedly helps the "brown fat" (but Ihaven't researched that at all).

With all that, I'm 1 for 1.  So nu?

I'm Baaaack...

Though I haven't posted since last year, I was exercising semi-regularly until the summer hit.  The combination of crazy work agenda and crazy home agenda (including Sharon's international conference and a visitor from Africa) seriously interrupted the fitness program.

Now I'm trying to establish some regularity for fall -- no time like the present to start.  I walked the Olympia Rd. route in about 25:30 -- not great, not bad.  I walked uphill without having to stop, which is good. I had continuing soreness in my left big toe and ankle, but by left-side sacroiliac was not troublesome.  At the very end, I had some soreness in my right big toe, which suggests that my feet aren't used to toe push-off in my stride.
