From KT – June 8, 2012
Yo DaVita
YOU HAVE OVER 3100 PARTNERS IN YOUR QUEST FOR BETTER HEALTH! Including over 250 family and friends (including 2 of my siblings) and 14 teammates from overseas! AND 2 dogs.
But as for me, I missed yesterday and am at risk of missing again today! We worked until 1 am on Wednesday night, getting ready for our big HealthCare Partners presentation in New York City, and so it was about 1:45 before I turned off the lights in my hotel room. Since I had to get up at 7, and only got 5 hours the night before, I opted to take the 5 hours of sleep rather than do exercise.
The meetings went all day long, leading right into a dinner with the Lead Director of our Board. I then joined the finance/healthcare partners team for the end of their celebration dinner, and then had to travel out to the suburbs, to White Plains, so that I could do a breakfast with another member of the Board of Directors today. Once I got to the hotel I had to do a couple late phone calls to folks in the west, so it was another 5 hour night with no time for exercise before the breakfast.
It is very rare for me to miss 2 days in a row. Darn, darn, my body is asking me what the heck is going on?
But the good news is I have not felt any hamstring tweaks the last 36 hours so I hope to try my first post-injury mountain biking ride tomorrow. Originally I was booked to do a 50 miler with 30 other riders, which would have racked up about 7 BEAUTIFUL hours of exercise for MTM – but I can’t risk that for my first ride.
I hope you are enjoying your first few beautiful parks!
One for All, KT

Ah, the realities of work-life balance. I hope you get some rest and exercise during the weekend, KT! I’ll be sharing some time in the saddle with you – but still via a spinning class – haven’t built my confidence up to do a longer bike ride yet, but am getting close. Both Tour DaVita and MTM have put me on a positive fitness trajectory and I’m loving it!
I had my first meal from the garden yesterday, fresh green beans, snow peas, cucumbers and lettuce are in full swing at my house. Tomatoes are still green and yellow squash flowering…they will be next! Looking forward to the corn, cantalope, watermelon, honeydew, raspberries and blackberries later this summer. Eating well + fitness = 1 happy teammate!

Hey KT – so happy to hear you are in New York! Our unit is in Staten Island, N.Y. also called the boro of parks. I am fortunate to have a park right down the block. Some of us go walking at lunch. There is a huge lake and so many trees…have I convinced you to take a side trip to S.I. yet? Anyway, I’m glad you opted for the sleep, sounds like you have a packed schedule. As for me, I’m getting ready to take my walk as we speak. Yesterday I walked around the park near my house – beautiful day and the dog is benefiting as well as I take her with me. Happy Weekend everyone!
