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. Saving grace: Haus Randa has lots of stairs, and our room was at the top! So every meal, and every cup of coffee, and every beer -- five flights down, five flights up! 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 ...

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! I discovered I can read a book at about 2 mph, although it makes me dizzy to look up and around still. I don't know if that's lack of sleep, or the dizziness I felt last night every time I woke. I'm happy to say that it seems to be less tonight. I'm TIRED, after not much sleep and walking maybe one and o...

Grrrr

Feeling like a failure. Half a run today, 25 mins, instead of my 50-minute goal. I just couldn't force myself to keep running. And tonight my thought was to make up for it by working out; didn't do that either. Yesterday my damn pedometer cheated me out of 15 mins of my run! What the hell is that about? I did run for 25 minutes, and started my day with a full ab workout, which is getting almost doable now. So progress hasn't stopped; just stalled. Whatever. Sat. July 19: 4872 (3387), 25 mins. 2.3 miles. Fri. July 18: 10575 (6479), 53 mins. 5.0 miles. Thurs. July 17: 7738 (5716), 44 mins. 3.6 miles. Wed. July 16: 8849 (4060), 33 mins. 4.1 miles. Tue. July 15: 8219 (6148), 46 mins. 3.8 miles. Mon. July 14: 7403 (3914), 32 mins. 3.5 miles. Sun. July 13: 8370 (6316), 47 mins. 3.9 miles. Sat. July 12: 10655 (7847), 60 mins. 5.0 miles. So twice this week I couldn't run my whole run, but twice this week I've done 5 miles, and over 10k steps. And for m...
