I wasn't going to post until tomorrow or the next day, but when I entered tonight's walk in my spreadsheet I noticed that I was half way! Swam again this morning. That is so nice. Too bad I don't know when it will happen again. I can't convince dh to join the private pool 3blocks from our house, and now my friend who belongs is busy for the next few days! Ah well, it was nice while it lasted.

Keep up the progress everyone... I will be offline for much of the weekend as we are having a getaway, no technology weekend so after tonight, I'll be back late sunday to update the post, but keep the progress updates coming and I'll catch up when I get back.

Finally back on the trails. I really hurt myself boxing and Tuesday was the first day that I felt ok, but by then I got completely sidetracked with food. It hasn't been a good 2 weeks but it felt really good to be back out there.

Anyway

Thank you again for doing all of this especially in the midst of what looks to be an incredibly busy summer for you! I hope you have a wonderful, tech-free time on your getaway this weekend.

Inquiring minds and all...did you find it?

Between walking and weights, I've added another 161 minutes over the last couple of days. Unfortunately those minutes haven't included power walking with my sweet pup - I'll have to fix that these next few days.

My total is 811/2000.
