  • Yesterday I had hoped to sneak in a run, but I knew it was unlikely. I did however get hours of gardening done. After helping my mom do some stuff to get ready for her annual plant sale, she sent me home with a bunch of plants which I was able to plant almost as soon as I got home. It was plenty of work since I then mulched around each one and did a little to touch up our landscaping. Long story short...my exercise log looks a little sad, but it's not reflective of how much I've been doing to stay active! I love the spring!

    MsP: I think the best exercise is the stuff that doesn't feel like exercise!
  • LouisaH-Amen to that, sister!

    Upon MeowMix and LouisaH's suggestion, I'm no longer calling my gardening days "rest days", because there is no rest occurring! I NEED a rest day, but alas, my schedule and compulsion to get certain things done will not permit it at this time.
