771 minutes of exercise this month so far. Averaging approximately 26.5 minutes of exercise a day. :) Yahoo :)
Would like this average to be a little higher. Next month I will try for longer time on the treadmill.
Can't wait for the Color Me Rad Fun Run this Saturday! See https://www.colormerad.com/

Left and right hip pain and back pain made it difficult today but.....
Left and right hip pain and back pain made it difficult today but I did it anyways and I'm glad I did because I feel terrific now.
The entire first mile I felt like stopping because of the hip and back pain. I was going slower about 5 mph. To help get through it I stepped off to the side on the treadmill and stretched and stretched my back, calves and hip flexor muscles.
It wasn't until just before the second mile did the pain start to subside. In the 3rd mile I felt so good I did intervals a 1 minute at 7.5 mph and 8 mph :) :) :).
Now I feel really good. :) :)
I think the key is to stretch, stretch, stretch, before, during and after exercise.
45 minutes today on treadmill over 3.5 miles (didn't write exact distance down) .
Below my son Tyler walking in Hollywood.

4.0 miles in 47:40 minutes at the aqueduct - with hills and valleys - just beautiful!
I was able to run after that 5 K in less than 30.
Ran 4.0 miles in 47 minutes and 40 seconds with the hubby at the Aqueduct . It was beautiful up there. Next time I will bring a "go camera" to show you just how beautiful the desert can be! :)
Not as fast as I would like but you have to take into account the hills were pretty brutal.

Screw you "Arther Itis"!!!!! Right back at you RA!!!!! My best time in a very long time!
Woke up at 4 am with pain in my feet, hands and shoulders. Could not go back to sleep. I decided I would not stress out about it. Took a pain medication and decided to get the best time ever and kick RA in the face. So right back at you Arther Itis!!!.....................
50 years old with RA and I did a 5 K in under 30 minutes :) :) :) :):):)
If I can do it, anyone can do it!!!

Hi All. Hope everyone is having a fantastic day.
Woke up this morning with ankle, back and wrist pain. The starting of a flare-up? Hope not. Wonder if my ESR and C-reactive protein is up? Wouldn't be surprised. Used my new Solanpas-type spray for pain. Takes the edge of the pain.
3.5 miles yesterday on treadmill at the gym with interval training up to 7 mph :)
Plan to do some weight training later today.

Went to a funeral yesterday. It was a beautiful celebration of life of my friend's mother Mrs. Graves. Here is her picture...
She was a strong, smart and wonderful person who raised three girls on her own. She will be dearly missed!
Wiped out when I got home but....I managed to get some sit-ups in just before midnight. On track with New Year's resolution. :)
Keep on, Keeping on!

New Years Resolution: To do some form of exercise everyday.
Day One: Worked a 10 shift so didn't run BUT did leg lifts and lounges at work on my break. :)
Thinking of doing a half marathon in Hollywood on April 5th. :o I have never done a half marathon which is a little over 13 miles. The most I've done last year was 10 miles. Don't know if I will be ready by April to do it but we will see.
Hope all is well with all of you :)
As far as RA: Still taking Sulfasalazine (sp?) twice a day. Still getting pain but not nearly as bad as when RA first started when I couldn't walk and had ice packs all over my body!
Looking forward to this 2014 think it's going to be a record breaker for me.
Must invest in new running shoes!
Have a great day!

Happy New Year Everyone!!! :) :) :) :)
My New Year's resolution is to do one form of exercise everyday. EVEN if it is just sit-ups or leg lifts.
My January resolution is to complete 10 miles a week. :)
My foot feels much better ran two 5 k's last week. Found a closer place to get a computerized running analysis so hope to get that video tape of it to share.
2014 let's do it!!!
