Day 30- Week 5

Today was what we affectionately call endurance Tuesday. As you can imagine by the name it is a tough day but I survived with flying colors. We had some rain today so some of our activities needed to be rearranged. Cardio tennis was rained out so I got in some extra personal training.

I have decided to build a little gym in my garage so I made the call today and it will hopefully be done upon my arrival home. Even though I have a trainer and a cook eventually I will want to make my lifestyle my own responsibility and not lean on others for help.

My hip has completely healed and I am getting alot stronger in the gym. I am still not pleased with my endurance progress when biking but I suppose that will come soon. This is my last two weeks so I am going to work a little harder. I will be starting at 6:15 tomorrow to get in an extra half hour of cardio.

I continue to be amazed at the amount of people who have written to me either through my blog, FB or personal e-mails. You cannot imagine how much that means to me. I am eternally grateful as well as thankful for all your support. I imagine that this journey will be lifelong and it is great to know I have people that care.

Thanks,

IK

  2. Endurance is something I know about and it doesn't come in a month. But you will see improvements on a continual basis and over a long-period of time. Breakthroughs will come with effort I assure you.

  4. Gee wiz, Ira..its been a couple weeks since I last visited your blog and I wasn't sure what I'd see. I am gushing with impressiveness on what you're doing, saying, accomplishing and committing to. I, like so many others, am very proud of my little Ira-kins.
