No exercise today--legs are a bit tired/sore and today is national quilting day so I joined others in my quilt group to work on making quilts to give away. (I also did a demo on trapunto by machine.)

C • National Quilting Day 2

How could I not run outside? Low 60s and sunny -- beautiful day (I love spring).

Out and back on Bashford Road which is all dirt except for the first (and therefore last) tenth of a mile. No snow or even mud to be seen. I was able to run up all the hills (there's a 0.2mi-long one at about 1.35 mi, plus some shorter ones), though I almost faltered in the last mile.

Saw my first wildflowers (yellow, a type of aster, I think) plus someone's crocuses or jonquils in the woods. Goldfinches are at the bird feeder along with red-winged blackbirds (seen first a few days ago). Almost time to stop feeding the birds (so as not to attract waking bears!).

Billygoat training.

Found my wildflower -- it's colts foot.

At the Y, using weights only (besides body weight, of course). Skipped side planks as usual as they aggravate my right shoulder which has been acting up all week anyway.

May not get out again today (but tomorrow should be nice too). Eye appt. after the Y and I had my eyes dilated (it's such an odd feeling when it starts...). It's too bright.

In Chatham. Today is the birthday of the eldest member of the class who is also Jennifer's go-to person. She turns 79. Jennster made chocolate-dipped strawberries and apricots - yum!

Picked up sticks/branches in the yard--an excellent day to do so!

At the Y. Plan to walk or run outside later today--it's beautiful!

In Albany, after visiting the Albany Visitor's Center which had an exhibit of little quilts from a local guild (not mine). Walked to the Albany walkway over the highway to the riverfront and around a bit there, then up to Pearl St. and back to my car.

Up Pratt Rd. to mile turnaround and back. Beautiful day, 61 and sunny! Love it.

In Chatham. I noticed the leg muscles I worked on the treadmill yesterday.

Event: WCOC Sessions Woods
 

Event: US Team (unofficial) 3K time trial
 

Sunday at the Y, partly because my weekday instructor Mary was subbing, and partly because I wimped out on O in CT (windy, cold, possible rain... my favorite conditions---not!).

C • sorry to miss you at Sessions 5

Hills on the treadmill (2.5-8.5% inclines) on a variable course. Listtened to "Wait, Wait..." and part of Fresh Air segment on the recession.
