getting ready to update through post #188.

Sorry, I have not been around much this week. We had a very emotional week at our house. On Monday we had to make the very hard decision to let our 15.5 year old dog go. The vet was really supportive and basically told us he thought it was time. It was really awful, but she has been sick all fall and took a big turn for the worse on Monday. Anyhow, hope to be around more next week as we push towards the end of the month.

Collectively we are at:
13574 our od 33218 (40%)

I am sure we can at least hit 50% and maybe even 60%.

A little late, but good luck to everyone at Princess Weekend!

Hugs to you, Rose. I have a friend who had to make the same choice, also on Monday of this week. Her name was Anna, and she'd been with them for 16 yrs. So tough to let go of a member of your family....

 

[hmack]

Rose - so sorry to hear about your family's loss.


update: 42 minutes

Rose, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I know how hard it was to put down my cat last year. But sometimes we have to make hard decisions when they are in the best interests of our loved ones. My heart goes out to your family

Rose, I am so sorry about your dog. As someone who tends to take in old and disabled pets from the shelter where I volunteer, I have been in your shoes all too often. You'd think it would get easier, but no. I'm so sad for your loss of your obviously beloved pet. Doing the right thing is hard.

Couch to 5k (completed week 7!), some extra uphill walking, and some strength exercises.

 

[Flossbolna]

250/750!!

I must say that signing up for this challenge has really helped me to try to fit in some exercise despite my injury (of course only things that are ok for me to do!) I am certain that without it, I would have moved much less!! Now I hope that in the last week I will at least get to 50% of my goal!

My next half marathon is 4/5. At this point in my training for my first half, I had already done weekends with 6, 8, and 10 miles. I'm soooo not at the same point this time. Blame it on the weather, motivation, whatever, but today I did 2 walks, one 4 miles and the other almost 3, and that's the most I've done since my half on 12/31. This one will be tougher (some hills), warmer (early April in Tx can be 60s/70s early in the morning) and I'm less prepared. YIKES!!!!
I guess my hope will be that someone is still there handing out medals when I finally get across that line!!!

 

[hmack]

Had a great day - strenght training, two walk and some major snowshoeing at a beautiful Nature Conservatory.


update: 165 minutes


738/850


only 112 minutes to meet my goal -- feeling hopeful!
