I have been slacking lately but I´ve learnt that when you fall off the bike you just have to get back on it and ride again.

On Friday I did 40km on the exercise bike and today Sunday I did 2000metres in the pool. So we are back on the bike I hope.

P.S I did a walk on Friday last week about 15km on a route called ´Path of the Volcanos´ on the island of La Palma in the Canaries. Quite spectacular. Sorry I am not the best with photos.

Good job!
Green with envy!

I got up at 4:00 am and caught the bus to the starting line.  I started the race running with the 4:15 pace guy.  That was good until about mile 11.  I had to stop to use the bathroom.  I caught back up about a mile later, but then it started getting hot, and I was having problems.  At mile 17 I started having spasms in my right leg.  I was thinking about dropping out at mile 18.  I decided to go until at least 20.  I called my wife to tell her I needed spasm medication.  After i got to mile 20 I decided it was just 6 more miles, and continued on.  My son meet me at mile 22.5 with medication, then he ran a 1/2 mile with me.  It was the hardest race I have ever run because of the heat, and heat and MS don't get along.  It took almost 5.5 hour to finish, but I kept going, and finished.  I almost fell over after I finished I sat in the shade for 5 minutes. I think my legs were saying I took you 26.2 miles mow I am done.

That is my endurance story. I have some pictures I will post a link when I get them uploaded.

It would have taken me 5.5 DAYS to finish, not hours.

Good job! I'm SO excited for you that you finished! Now for that recliner... ??

Here is a link to pictures from the St George marathon.

Trying to keep focused on bag to relieve stress. My dad has been battling a nasty cellulitis infection. Sadly, my stepmother failed to notify me. Never mind the countless blocked calls when I attempt to call my Dad or drop by. I fell apart this weekend when I found out they were amputating his left leg up to his thigh. I did get to visit with him. Its heartbreaking to see such a kind, spirited loving man in so much pain. He's always been so active. I pray he recovers well.

Go team go...

Hey Orch,
you don't mind if I tell everyone, how one of my best friends (you) just ran that race with two debilitating illnesses!! YOu are the man!
What a wonderful example of courage!!!!

Lon

2 morning of 40 minutes of brisk walk

50 minutes of exercise machines and weights.

I came, I saw, I sweat, I walked, I pushed, I pulled, I grunted and I drank lots of water. My knees are killing me. but in an odd sort of way, I do feel much better....
