Not to walk a total 40 city blocks in one afternoon. I don't have my summer walking legs yet. Oh boy, am I feeling it now. OUCH!!!!! 20 blocks to, walking against a super strong (the kind you have to lean into) wind. 20 blocks back. Warmer weather today and a touch of spring fever hit. Thought I was in a bit better shape. BG's great today though! c > Not to walk a total 40 city blocks in one afternoon. I don't have my summer > walking legs yet. Oh boy, am I feeling it now. OUCH!!!!! [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > BG's great today though! > c It woulda been a better story if the wind changed and it was in your face both ways. Jim It felt like it. Believe me! Walked from the Grand Avenue Mall all the way to Ruby G's for a coffee then walked all they way back to the Grand Avenue. It's a trek. c >> Not to walk a total 40 city blocks in one afternoon.

I was afraid you walked 40 city blocks out away from home and were not totally lost with no hope of finding your way back. ;-) > Warmer weather today and a touch of spring >fever hit.

According to http://icasualties.org/oif/ The number of Americans killed in Iraq as of Jan. 25, 2006 is 2,239. United Kingdom = 98 Other = 103 Iraqi deaths in excess of 30,000 according to President Bush - probably many more. >>Not to walk a total 40 city blocks in one afternoon.

Makes it esy to know how far you are walking. Wendy > Maybe this sounds stupid, but as a europen I have to ask? > How long apr is one city block? > I do know that in i.e. NY one block is from one crossing street to the > nest, > bur how long in meters/yards? A block really is the distance from one street to the next. It varies quite widely. I always planned on 12 blocks to the mile, or about 150 meters. The block I live on is about 100 meters long. Across the street, it is about 300 meters. SignatureDan Abel dabel@sonic.net Petaluma, California, USA Different cities, different measurements. Even in Manhattan (which would be very different than in Queens or Staten Island). If you're going Avenue to Avenue, they range. They're longer closer you are to 5th... and get shorter farther away. But up and downtown blocks in NYC (the numbered blocks) are generally 20 blocks to the mile. Jennifer >>Maybe this sounds stupid, but as a europen I have to ask? >>How long apr is one city block?

I don't have my > summer walking legs yet. Oh boy, am I feeling it now. OUCH!!!!! Don't walk 40 blocks until the summer : ) I did something similar on Thursday - I'm a country girl, used to walking on grass paths or mud. I was in London for a meeting, and snuck out for a walk at lunchtime - OW! Those newfangled pavement things are hard : ) (Not to mention the posh shoes...) Nicky.

Of course, Dec. was record cold so it's evened out. We get spring beginning sometime between May 30th and June 1st. Summer goes through the 4th and fall begins the day after. ;>) Climate change is hitting our area because are winters for the past 5 yrs. or so have been very mild compared to what they used to be.

I'll take it! >c I do know what Wisconsin is like... I was born in Madison. That's also where I spent part of my childhood... I remember one time it was -40F, and there was ice in the toilet in the mornings on more than one occasion. We still have some family connections in Rapids, through one of my sisters, so I look forward to a big box of cheese every Christmas. Other than the cold, Wisconsin is a very nice place to live. The weather here on the east coast has been mostly mild, also, this year. There have even been a few days in the 60's in January. The water may be too cold, but it is very nice walking weather most days, except when it's raining. How's the bi-polar thing, Colleen? My Rachel is having a little trouble with her medications again, so she's been a little manic lately. Then she sleeps for 18 hrs at a stretch. Because of the unstable situation with the meds, she needs to stay close to her doctors right now and won't be coming to visit for a few more weeks. Well, I wish you a really good Saturday! Will, T2 >>A spring-like day in Jan. in Milwaukee, Wisc. This time of year I take >>full [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > Will, T2 My bipolar is doing well. I have found a winning med combo. It took a long time but it's worked well for 3+ years now. I've only had one breakthrough episode and the was at the beginning of the med combo. I did a lot of my own research on the meds with regard to what my experiences were and my adverse reactions to the different meds. I've been on most of them. Lithium was the first mood stablizer that worked well. Before that I had never known what a long term stable mood felt like. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I could no longer tolerate it. That's when I researched Trileptal. It's a chemical cousin to Tegretol, which is an anticonvulsant used to treat bipolar. It's worked! I still get mood episodes but no longer the paralizing depressions or the year long hypomanias followed by a crash and burn. Keep persevering in the med dept. regarding your daughter. Does she also do talk therapy? The talk therapy doesn't do much for the chemical aspect of bipolar but it did teach me to recognize my symptoms and be or pro-active rather than re-active in treating my illness. I'm glad that your daughter is smart enough to stay close to her pdocs. Good ones can be invaluable in treating the illness. It's very much like treating diabetes. The doctors are the assistants in the treatment and the patient maintains the proactive roll. Keep me posted on what's happening with her. There are a lot of online support groups if she does the puter bit. Those may help her at least find others who are in the same position she is. However, if she's really vulnerable to the troll BS that abounds, I'd recommend not doing them at this time. There are a lot of anti-med trolls on some of the groups. Makes our trolls looks like intelligent life forms! c >A spring-like day in Jan. in Milwaukee, Wisc. This time of year I take full >advantage of anything >32F.

Mid February and the tulips will be in bloom in the back yard. I pity you Colleen. >>A spring-like day in Jan. in Milwaukee, Wisc. This time of year I take >>full [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Mid February and the tulips will be in bloom in the back yard. I pity > you Colleen. Our tulips are usually mid April. There's no spring in Milwaukee. We usually have really nice autumns though. Mid Sept. to mid Oct. is usually very nice here. By the third week of Oct. the winter weather can hit. This year it stayed nice until Nov. We had like 70 on a Sunday and by the following Sat. is was around 30. Don't like the weather in Milwaukee? Hang around for 5 minutes, it'll change. c Colleen, consider yourself reminded .:-) Loretta -- In tribute to the United States of America and the State of Israel, two bastions of strength in a world filled with strife and terrorism. Hey, thanks for the reminders everyone. It's cloudy and rainy today so no 40 block walks. How long can you count a long walk in retroactive exercise? c > Not to walk a total 40 city blocks in one afternoon. I don't have my > summer walking legs yet. Oh boy, am I feeling it now. OUCH!!!!!

Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. In a week, I'll be overdoing sun and sand. Hopefully the sunblock will work. It's a dress rehearsal for summer, as your walk. A good kind of hurt...
