Mel - don't remind me about the heat! My first summer out east is not looking too good
My BF says though that I only have to live here through 2 summers if I decide I don't want to live here. I think I'll survive though
I am sorry to hear about your gym closing down, that really does suck. Don't let it get to you too much.
hrbabe - take care of yourself, put some aloe on that sunburn. I actually got a little too much sun myself when I went to California. My own fault, thinking I only needed sunscreen on certain spots, like my face. It was actually the first time I got burned (my shoulders basically) since I was 16.
I went hiking this weekend at Shenandoah national park. We ended up climbing the highest peak there, which is at an elevation of little over 4000 ft. Of course we started at almost 3300 ft
It was very difficult, there was a 740 ft rise in a little over half a mile. Then we calculated that 740 ft rise would equal 74 flights of stairs and I was very proud of myself when I reached the top. My calves and hamstrings are still sore.
Edited to add: Forgot to mention that we walked a little over 2 miles after reaching the summit as we descended the mountain and circled it. Overall a very good workout
No gym time yet but it is coming. I am also down to a new low for me and when I lose 3 more lbs, I'll have lost 90 total. More importantly, 13 more lbs and I'll have lost 100 total
I'm looking forward to that day.
