Great numbers Agate! You and Howie have me beat on walking

[Sunshine]

I swam 600 Yards today in 20 minutes. It was 80f outside. Locker room was about 65.

My muscle behind the hip bone is clenching. Don’t know if it’s a back problem or Stiff Person Syndrome flaring. Or both.

Howie, that is really good!! Remember Agate is the Queen of the pedometer, so she always has good numbers. Sunshine is the queen of swimming and surfing and I don't think anyone on here is going to beat her at that.

[Howie]

I got a pedometer just to get an idea of how much I am walking. But I'm not competing, or planning to try to improve, I just wanted to see how much I actually walk. I know I am very inactive, but that's okay.

I stayed up all night drinking coffee, and watching TV and a DVD my brother sent me. So I hit the store right at seven, then came home, and slept all day. I have my Amazon order coming tomorrow. I'll fix my power outage problem.

Have a good evening tonight!

No competing allowed! There are no winners or losers. These aren't the Olympics.

Howie, you seem to be an electrician in addition to being a dentist.

[Howie]

I am the jack of all trades, and master of none....well, maybe tooth extractions!

[Sunshine]

I swam 16 minutes, 550 Yards. Cut it short due to muscle clenching in thigh. Boo.

[Virginia]

You are still great Sunshine!

[Sunshine]

I swam 21 minutes today, 750yards. I could barely walk getting out. My bad right leg wanted to spasm and felt rubbery. Sat down, rested ten minutes, skipped shower and drove home, still recovering.

Bummer.

[stillstANNding]

Bummer but you did the swimming and the driving. I hope spasms have calmed down.

good for you Sunshine,, as long as you don't test your limits , I love the water,, was doing water excercises at the "Y:", loved it till the water got to cold,,{boiler was bad} and muscle spasms happened,,also taught a few classes , when the instructor was away,,loved it,,

[Sunshine]

Yah, water is the best!

Resting today. Supposed to surf tomorrow morning, we shall see with the Stiff Person Syndrome problem. Also, the Asthma is kicking up with sinus infection. I got my excuses lined up. Good excuses though.

It was a beautiful Florida winter day with air temp 75, zero wind, cool ocean 76F. The waves were clean and turquoise, thigh to hip high , breaking gently.

I was frightened to go what with my traitorous body and recent crisis swimming. My DH said, you will see your friends and you don’t have to get wet if you don’t want.

But of course, as he wheeled me to the ocean and a buddy strapped on my leash, just looking at the water got me frothing. The paddle out was so easy, just gliding out to the lineup.

Am happy to say I got two nice floaty waves, one easy wipeout, and one had to bail after popping up as a dudette was coming right at me. It was her wave, my bad.

There were plenty of sharks out there.

I have learned to stop with the slightest muscle warning. So, while it would’ve been nice to keep on out there, it was great to have had the fun.

Sunshine, it sounds delightful and kudos to your DH in supporting you in your love for this sport.
