Sunday I was so tired after my Saturday ride I made it a day of rest.

Monday I went to an ANG meeting. Afterwards some of us went to a nearby nursing home and shared our stitching with the residents there as part of National Embroidery Month. That evening I went to the YMCA and spent some time on a stationary bike so as to get in some pedaling exercise as it was too rainy and dark outside to ride outside (at least for me).

This morning I had a pilates class. This is for strength training. It is the type done with an exercise ball. This means that leg lifts, pushups, etc. are all done while balancing on a large ball. My very smart teacher put me next to a wall which I definitely needed for some of the moves. One of the exercises we did today was pushups from the ball which reconfirmed what I already know: I have very little arm strength. Things will improve.

In the afternoon I went to a luncheon at St. Stephen's and had a great time visiting with a lot of old friends.
