1 -- Got up for an okay walk this morning; it was Sylvia's first day back at work. Goal is to again get to the Y for the rest of the workout.
2 -- Have been getting to the Y with regularity and yesterday pushed a little harder on some of the exercises. Benched with dumb bells and started with 60lbs. I think I had one set of six and it might have been eight. Then went down by fives through 55, 50, 45. Other exercises worked a few more pounds and I only go up a little at a time because my goal is to continue lifting not seeing how much I lift once.
3 -- Was very glad to see the Hartsville Streets or Parks crews trimmed the branches of trees adjacent to the bike trail. That will make that part of the trail better. Those using the bike trail will find it enjoyable though a caution on the Washington Street portion -- the storm drains are too recessed and if you hit them you could be in some trouble.
4 -- Listening to MOSCOW RULES by Dan Silva while walking. It is a good story and some of the exciting parts help me move faster on those early morning walks.
5 -- Memo to self -- "It really does feel better to be at the Y than making excuses for not being at the Y."
