Ran 5 K today at Santa Anita Racetrack with hubby, son and Father in law!  Think I did better than I thought.  I was trying to just break 34 min, but when I came in it said 31 something.  I will have official results probably by tomorrow along with pics.  :)

Happy Day to you all!

POST how you stay motivated to exercise with RA here....

POST your first RA symptoms story here .....




Would love to hear your stories.
People learn from those stories.  I learned so much from other people. 
Kidney function improved since the last GFR.  :) yay

2 days ago 4 miles on the treadmill :)

yesterday interval training up to 7 mph with strength training. Getting ready for Saturday's 5 K.

Just received the new physical copy of this issue of the ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) Journal. :) Can't wait to read.

Had fun with my mother visiting this last 3 weeks. I have been so blessed to have her as a mother.  She is funny too, makes me laugh.  I still see quite a bit of her sharpness through all that Alzheimer's symptoms.  She likes to tell me about when she was a little girl. She loved her grandparents. Her father's parents were from Germany, the Froelich's and her mother's parents were from England, the Bray's.   Being from America you have so many different heritages, it's kind of fun to hear about them all.  My father's ancestors are from Ireland, the McDonough's.

Anyway, would love to hear some of your first symptoms stories of RA and how you continue to lead the active lifestyle that you want.  Please comment.

Aimed for 31 of 31 days in March and ended up with exercising 23 or 31.  It is what it is.  Think I will try to go everyday again in May when my life is not so hectic.  Right now in April I aim to run 3 to 4 Five K's a week. Goals, goals. goals, keeps me going.
