  • Well, I'm doing fine on minutes but am not happy with my consistency. I got a whole bunch of minutes again today hiking but only walked one other day this week. Going to get my walks in day to day this week and look at a nice long bike ride next weekend. I don't have time to go for a long hike so I'll shoot for an hour or more on the bike.
