Lifted last night, bench, bb rows, overhead press, curls. Did a 2 mile run this am followed by 25 minutes on the heavy bag. Off til sunday,  :D, quality not quantity right.
 It was around 25F here this am, I like running and working out in the cold myself.

Supposedly, a distant ancestor of mine was a Cherokee Indian princess. According to what my mom told me, I am 1/64 Cherokee Indian. Maybe this is why I never burn when out in the sun. I do like my "fire water" on occasion. LOL! My maternal grandmother was French. She grew up in Brittany, France. I just found out that my maternal grandfather's surname was originally Irish. The paternal side of my family are all English, I believe. However, my dad's ancestors immigrated to the Americas prior to the Revolutionary war. Guess that makes me pretty much just an American.

My medical insurance provider sent me a gym membership card called SilverSneakers in the mail today. Apparently this allows me membership in various gyms the world over. Unfortunately, my regular gym is not on their list. Still, it should be good to enjoy a change of scenery every so often and who knows? Maybe I can talk the owners of the gym I use to accept the SilverSneakers card too.

Look after your nose.. ;) Itīs snowing again here... :(  still going to run later...HARDCORE ;D
My nose has been throbbing a little today.  I was going to train chest today but due to the throbbing I decided against it.  Been googling about swelling and how to reduce it and I might go back to sleeping up against a couple of pillows.  Also I can try to reduce my salt intake, not that I have alot to begin with.  But with the hot climate there is not alot I can do. 
I wish you could send me some snow Donny.  Like I said I would put my face down in it.   ;D  It would just be nice to be in a cooler climate at this time post op.

My ultimate favs are sweet hala bread, french bread of any kind and linseed with 7 seeds.  But for any kind of toast with soups I like white bread and lots of butter and thats how I eat vegemite on toast too...it must be white and buttered well.

Don't you suppose if your nose were throbbing, you might "moan" about it too?

I have years ago done walking up stairs with a sand bag on my shoulders and that is a killer. Lunges is new to me.
