Leslie yes I know what you mean. Today when walking up the hill and it was hot and hard, I pretended I picked up a 30 pound weight in each hand and walked a bit... then "tossed them aside" to see how light I felt.
Hey I play all kinds of mind games to keep myself going!!! 
Leslie, actually I am in the suburbs... since you know the area you will recognize Bothell area. Glad to meet another neighbor on here!
