I'm not going to make my goal for arms, but having the goal got me to do them again tonight, so hopefully next month will get me back in a routine.

best to all

The back of my knee hurts when I do step aerobics; so I will be taking some time off of aerobics, bummer. -- I can walk etc fine without the pain. It is just the stepping up part that triggers the pain

-----------------------------------------------

Okee, I think I will aim for another 3000 minutes.

I planned on just taking a quick run today to bring me up to an even 10 miles this past week, but I wound up adding some walking on to take a neighbor's dog back to their place. He kept following me down the road and I was afraid he'd get hit by a car, so I took him back to the house and locked him in their yard when no one answered the door.

...I hope it was their dog, anyway, because he's in their yard now.

Yeah, gardenerjoy, I'm discovering that I just can't get away from the dogs no matter which way I go! If I go right, there's a big retriever that tries to chase me. If I go on the dirt road, there's a scary scary shepherd mix that growls and barks behind a fence. And apparently if I go left, there's a super friendly mutt that wants to get himself run over by a car if I don't help him out. I like dogs, but geesh! Sometimes I just want a quiet run!
