Some assembly required
But the hand weights are up off the floor, at last.
Success!
(1, 3, 5, 8, 10 lbs. And yes except for 8 & 10 they all got here separately which is why they don’t all “match” each other.)

Over the weekend I stayed super active. I kept moving as much as possible – workout, weights, (pause to make coffee), another workout, pond work, yard work, (pause for lunch), more yard work, shower, laundry, pacing, dancing… Continue reading “Working on my record”
And miles to go…
Why, yes, I do like many of the poems of Robert Frost. How did you guess?*
So while S and some of our friends ran a virtual 5K while we’ve been in solitary confinement quarantine, I wondered how “far” I’ve gone with all my daily runs. Continue reading “And miles to go…”
It fits!
All this discipline in my exercise and diet means that my workout clothes that I had, shall we say Continue reading “It fits!”
