Momma mouse

Rode the bike 2x today--10 miles in the morning-5 miles in the afternoon. Feels good to start the day on the bike! I think I would rather be swimming in the ocean in Hawaii with the Remingons! Cold and rainy here today. Winter came back

Family fitness

Satuday we hiked in the Poland Town Forest. I think we did just over 2 miles. Sage was excited to sign the guest book at the new sign.

Sunday the kids began feeling sick. Scott did some Mt. biking, Sage joined me for a little jogging on her bike and then on foot. (1 mile) Then I ran a second mile with some big hills.

Sore legs

I went for a bike ride on Sat looking for hills to climb and then on Sunday Melinda and I went to the gym and ran a 5k together. We pushed it pretty hard for my speed and I'm sore today. Hoping to still do the 5k at the end of May out by Portland -- The Pineland Farms Trail Running Festival.

Bravo for me!

I got back on the bike this morning, and it felt so good---10miles. I do know I get bored and 10 miles at a time is my max. I may go to doing it in the morning and then the afternoon, too-for 20 miles a day.

Off the food wagon too long-no more baking cinnamon rolls! They are killers!

Gardening time-weeds, stuff for the greenhouse. Rain is a comin'. Art is at the boat again today trying to get more done before the rain. xxoo to all

Lots of weeding Monday-3.5 mile walks on Wednesday and Friday. I need to get back on the bike! xxoo

Cardio Swinging

Hello y'all,

Running is still my focus but this week I decided to be less focused. I hope it works to my advantage. For some reason at 25 mins of running I feel like I have had it. Hopefully the break will help.

Tuesday was yoga
Wednesday- face paced 25 min run, 10 mins of elliptical and 15 mins of the stairmaster.
Thursday- too nice to spend the day in the gym. I chased B around the yard for a few hours and then we went walking with a friend for 2 miles.
Friday- 30 minutes of biking, 30 mins on the elliptical. 20 minutes of weight and stretching.

The Fake Four Mile Hike

Hello fit family! It's been awhile since I've posted, so I'll catch you up on our weekend exercises...
Saturday we went on a four mile hike that was only actually two miles. (see our blog for pictures and details).

Sunday we went to the gym and I elypticaled for 40 minutes then walked for 20 minutes and Kevin stair mastered for 30 minutes, lifted weights, and ran a mile on the treadmill. I think that I over did it a bit because my foot is really sore and swollen today.. bummer. Hope it feels better tomorrow.

Happy working out!

My rowing partner.

Today I ran for 3.2 miles and did the rowing machine for 10 mins. A very cute old man escaped his silver sneakers class and rowed next to me. He kept shouting things like, "I'll race you across the lake," "Stroke, stroke!" "Send a life boat! I am done!" Hahaha. It made my day.

Does pulling weeds and shoveling count?

Saturday --rode the bike 15 minutes= weed weed
Sunday-Shovel shovel shovel weed weed

PS It is a long reach to the ground to pick the weeds when one has to get by my tummy!

A good run

Monday, I had a frustrating running experience. My whole body just felt slow (despite the new shoes :) ) I did have to run on an ancient treadmill called "StarTrack" complete with 80s inspired graphics. (3 miles)

Tuesday I got back to yoga. It felt great.

Wednesday- Running! A good run! And some elliptical... My favorite brand of treadmill is everyones' favorite. So I stalked one on the elliptical for a while. (3.5 miles- with some faster intervals. 7.1 MPH was my best interval! I felt great afterwards.)

Not much exercise

Another apple class today, and things are looking better, but no recovery of all the pictures. Trimmed bushes and took a trip to Eisley's to get fertilizer for the plants, and a flat of pansys. Walk with Aggie in the morning, and teach Jodi Pisarek how to make jam in the morning, too. Then-lots of gardening...fell off the good food wagon, and need to hop back on!

Walkin' and Girl Scout cookies

Bikin' Vermonters

Yesterday Melinda, Norma Jean, and I all wanted to get in a workout, so we each jumped on two wheels and set out for the dog park. Melinda was on our $20 yard-sale-score Schwinn Collegiate, I was on my Trek 520, and Norma was stuffed into her once roomy Burley Rover trailer. It's been warm here (Vermont standards...warm = upper 40's/low 50's!) so it was a good 8 mile ride to the dog park. When we arrived, Norma Jean jumped out and played for about 45 mins with her friends. When she was tuckered out (it doesn't take much) we stuffed her back into her trailer and we rode the 8 miles home. It was a great workout and some good family time. Today Melinda and I went to the gym. She did the Eliptical and I lifted weights and ran a mile and then we did an ab workout together.

hello

I haven't been blogging because I haven't been exercising. Both legs are numb and sore and I'm going for a back X-Ray next week.

I'm impressed with you all though. Way to go Fit Fullers!

Black Cat Hiking





We hiked to the top of Black Cat Mtn. today. 4 miles and quite a climb. We are all so proud of Sage for making it there and back. She said she felt like she was walking to California.

Yesterday I went back to the gym instead of running on the road. I did weights and 20 mins on the elliptical and 15 mins on the bike. I got new shoes today and am looking forward to a fresh spring in my step.

bike/upper body

5 miles on the bike-25 minutes upper body on the machines. SUNNY day, but cold-33 at 8 am! Happy day everyone!

Great walk!

Beautiful walk by Tripp Lake. Sagey rode her bike and we walked about 2 miles--nearly 50 degrees, but the lake was pretty frozen.

Friday at the Gym

BEAUTIFUL sunny day in Maine. Melia and I hit the gym. I did 50 minutes on the bike and 10 minutes of circuit training. Snow is melting-not very good for XC skiing for Scott!

On the road----

Hi-We have been walking lots in our travels and I have been doing 25-30 minutes on the bike all the time we have been in Vermont. The waffles in the serve yourself breakfast are very good-probably could do without those! Walked the Kays dog a few times a day when we were in Ohio. I'll have to hit it hard when we get home. Off to see Maine Fullers in the morning. We have such a nice family! xxoo
