that one is optional where I work

It's been mandatory for us for about 5 years, but they have offered it for free since I started working there. I got it each year anyway, K-8 age kids aren't exactly known for the great hygiene, so even though I don't work with kids, I'm sure I get exposed to all sorts of germs.

The last time I tried riding outside (a few months ago), I made it around the block and nearly had a heart attack, so this should be a fun experiment.  Not.

That was awful. You might try doing it in the daylight this time or at least not in the street going against traffic!

6 miles. Easy pace getting faster already, meaning it's time to get back to some workouts soon. 

 

Yea, that's basically ours too. Take the yearly assessment that poorly worded & sign something saying you don't smoke or are actively trying to quit. If not, pay more for insurance.

 

I personally like the question "do you plan on exercising more in the next 6 months". I wish I could add in comments, because I feel like saying unless I decide to run another marathon, no. 7+ hours per week is enough.

Yeah. I also get lots of advice on how to lose weight by healthy eating and exercise, because I end up with a BMI in the overweight range.

Morning!  I have Pilates and that’s it for me today.

For some reason, I cannot open the site from my PC. It keeps telling me I don’t have permission.  I might email Eric.

That wasn't the part that was scary, I was fine until I turned the corner and started going downhill!!

I'll give you that. Now give me some daylight and a sidewalk or other surface free from vehicular traffic!

8 AlterG miles because I'm still afraid to try the bike, since my PT told me that if my leg is under a 2/10 on my pain scale, I can run the 5-mile trail race I wanted to do this weekend... for which I have yet to register since I have been known to go to bed feeling fine and wake up unable to walk.  I ADORE race day registration.  And the price is even the same!!

 

Speaking of bikes.  I won a jackpot in the health program we have at work, and the prize selections are based on your points level.  I'm platinum, which, if you ask me, means I should get to choose from bronze, silver, and gold too, but nope, I can ONLY choose from platinum.  Which were a bunch of things I didn't really need -- I'd rather update my Vivofit, but that wasn't a platinum choice.  So I selected something else instead.  It arrived yesterday.

 

 

Now I really need to get over the trauma of riding outside... because selling this would be a pain.  And the MTA sucks and the rock-climbing gym is in the middle of nowhere and really hard to get to if I don't have the car.  The last time I tried riding outside (a few months ago), I made it around the block and nearly had a heart attack, so this should be a fun experiment.  Not.

OK, you've raised my curiosity.

If you don't mind me asking, what does it take to win a bike?  How much exercise X how many weeks?
