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.

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... ??

Sat: Krav bag: 30 min -had to leave for A/C repair appointment Mon: Krav bag: 60 min. 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...

lady,
sorry that your step mom is so ornery.... no excuse..
your daddy knows you love him, I'm sure!!!
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....
