Treadmill arrives!

I could hardly sleep anticipating the arrival of my treadmill! It arrived in an enormous box, and thank goodness the price I paid included setup and removal of all that packing material. It is enormous, but fortunately folds up and is relatively easy to move. Bob of course had to try it out while I was eating my breakfast and drinking my coffee. I didn't trust myself to do those things yet, even at one mile per hour. I can type though, at that speed, and when I'm sharp, up to 1.2 mph. YAY! How can I do that, you say, with no desk yet? Fortunately I saw someone's creative use of a ironing board as a temporary desk on office-walkers.com, and it works well!

A bit of a rest?

No reports for awhile. First I put my shorts in the wash with my step-meter in the pocket! Saved it by taking it apart and letting it dry, but now the time is wonky. Then I was traveling, which meant a day or so of hardly any steps, then loads (13000 the day we spent walking around Geneva), then not many on the train, and so forth.

I never did get to run all the way to the top without stopping to catch my breath. In fact, I couldn't even walk up without catching my breath. Still, it was some exercise. (4-6000 steps per day). Little to no jetlag, so I did do some running, but not so much. Now the battery is running low, and I leave in a few days for Vienna, so it's time to report before it resets again: Thurs. 28 Aug: 2407 (1415), 11 mins. 1.1 miles. Wed. 27 Aug: 3368 (1711), 14 mins. 1.5 miles. Tue. 26 ...

Bit of slacking off, I guess

Not so easy any more. In fact, it is getting to be quite a challenge in the past few days. However, I've not given up, even if I've not made forward progress. It's after midnight, so this is yesterday and the previous few days. Some will be a repeat, I suppose. June 9: 4636 (1787), 15 mins. 2.1 miles June 8: 4697 (2938), 23 mins. 2.2 miles June 7: 7805 (5274), 42 mins. 3.6 miles June 6: 4762 (3079), 25 mins. 2.2 miles June 5: 7426 (4909), 39 mins. 3.5 miles June 4: 4837 (2707), 23 mins. 2.2 miles June 3: 9014 (6239), 51 mins. 4.2 miles Hopefully I start feeling more energetic soon. The house is clean today though!
