Month: April 2009

LuceLine West Out&Back:  76 minutes, 4.57 miles, 16:40/3.6, HR=116.  While I knew running was out of the question, I had to at least try walking.  About a half mile into it I worried the coughing was going to force an early termination, but I made it.  I even managed some interval work on the return.

Any chance I had of being able to play the flute this afternoon was destroyed by the candle burning in my piano teacher’s studio.  I’m done with flute lessons until fall.

I was sick all weekend with a nasty cough, stuffy nose, aching ears.  Interesting that I was sick this exact same time last year.

Today’s respiratory distress should come as no surprise.

LuceLine West Out&Back:  68 minutes, 4.54 miles, 15:09/4.0, HR=138.  I struggled a bit this morning and that is evidenced by my heart rate.

Yay!  Mayo Clinic Health Manager uses Microsoft HealthVault!  Dropped the Lotus Road Bike off at Gear West for a tune up. 

LuceLine West Out&Back:  67 minutes, 4.6 miles, 14:39/4.1, HR=134. 

Early Mass.  Laundry.  Knitting.  Laundry.  Nap.  Laundry.  Emptied out the Wagon for tomorrow’s detailing. 

Fox/Willow/Watertown Loop:  60 minutes, 4.10 miles, 14:51/4.0, HR=131.  I’m just not getting any faster.  I attended the Minnesota Knitters Guild’s “Yarnover” event at Hopkins High School.  I had arranged to meet up with an old school mate, Joni, and we had a nice catch up over lunch.  The paddle boat is in the water! 

Avery and I did some shopping at Lakewinds Natural Foods.  She loves to push the little cart and enjoyed the company of several other little girls doing likewise.  We went there for Cola made with Stevia and left with carrots, celery and grapes as well.  We stopped at the new Chuck & Don’s Pet Food Outlet in Wayzata and discovered they do indeed carry the Blue Buffalo chow I feed Hanna.  We stopped at the park and Avery played with a bunch of boys her age.  Once home we made fruit dip, played on the beach with the neighbor girls, played in a bucket of water on the deck and made Strawberry Rice Krispie Treats.  Avery told Steve; “You made a very good dinner”.  It was marinated chicken and broccoli.  She didn’t eat the broccoli, only the chicken.
