    My goal this month is 2000 minutes with about 2/3 cardio and 1/3 weights/stretching/yoga. I've backed off the running plan until I see my doctor. It seems to really annoy my knees so I want to get her okay before I push it.

    On my 12 hour work days, I do not plan on exercise, but I do wear my pedometer at work (my new toy) and if the numbers are low mid day, I will try for a walk around the hospital.
    On my 8 hour work days, I will probably do some planned exercise but it may be less depending on how many steps/miles are on the pedometer.
  • Well, Kara seems to have her act together, so perhaps I should follow along? I procrastinate my exercising, so please feel free to hunt me down and kick my butt if these lines don't get filled up...
