Hi Shay - training is good! Took Thursday and Friday off after seven days in a row of hiking with weighted pack. Then spent Saturday morning in the gym at the hotel (business trip to LA with H) - an hour of weight training upper body and abs, then and hour on treadmill and 20 mins on stairmaster. Yesterday did my 1 hr. 15 min. hike with weighted pack with SIL (visiting from out of town) and went surfing.Feeling good, need to crank up the distances and fing some rough trails to hike.
I know what you mean about reading the moods, are you familiar with my Itchy Butt Theory? Sometimes they ARE in a bad mood, but if you act as if, you can pull them out of it. Sometimes they're NOT in a bad mood, they just have an itchy rash on their butt and it's distracting them. So Act As If, no matter what!
