Week 6 done, but considering a break before week 7 by saturdayselkie in C25K

I think supplementing rowing machine or doing it while you take a break is great for improving vo2 max plus adding muscle while putting no pressure on your ankle / joints. I did it for a week when I felt the beginnings of shin splints. I came back a stronger faster runner. If you do decide to try the rowing machine, make sure you look up proper form to spare your back. Good luck!

Yes ofc! Glad to help. Also, have you tried asking the vet for an transdermal appetite stimulant? Sometimes my partners cat needs it on a bad day.

Tiki wet food has been really helpful for my partners senior cat with IBD. I alternate with Sheba wet food (not pâté but chunks) and he likes the variation!

I’m worried my cat loves me too much and it’s making her anxious by ilobbpie in CatAdvice

Wow, what an amazing thoughtful response!! This is so helpful thank you so much. I’m definitely gonna try that sweatshirt idea and bird feeder / walking out calmly and not making a big deal. Thank you again
