Instead of my 5k walk/run I spent 5 hours working in the yard. I took down a maple tree, about 8 inches in diameter and about 20 ft tall. I don’t have a chainsaw so it took a long time with my japanese garden saw and some big loppers. I left a pretty big stump that I will have to deal with tomorrow. That sounds very macho but really it wasn’t hard, just required some muscle. Which I don’t have much of, and what I do have is starting to hurt….lol
Yesterday I did my best time ever on a 5k walk/run. I am no where near doing the whole thing at a run, but I am getting better. I am trying to re-develop this habit I used to have of nightly outings. I have allowed Son #1 to take over the doggy chore for most of the last 6 months and I am regretting that now. And with the nike ipod thingy I am challenging myself to keep a good pace. Can’t fake the numbers now!

that’s pretty active - 5K one day (and a fast one to boot!) and 5 hours of macho cutting the next
Hope you’re not too sore after all that lugging and cutting
You’re really doing great
how is the nike+ working for you? I totally forgot I have one of those (lol) … never been used — maybe, mabye
