    Walking and climbing some stairs is a good start. I got busy and haven't walked for a few days. But I did it for three days, it could have been a mile, I'm not sure, but in any case, felt great improvement in how I felt doing it over those three days. When I have time, I think I'll have no trouble getting out there again and hope to add some distance and start going in the direction where there are more hills.

    I am not working tomorrow so I should be able to get a walk in if I don't allow myself to get distracted by other things. It is raining cats and dogs here, but I have an umbrella! Who wouldn't, living in western Washington! Anyway, thanks for the reminder, Pete!

    There is a new gym/fitness center being built 2 miles from my house, and I live in a mostly rural area. It is only in the beginning stages and I don't even know the name of it or whether it is a well-known chain, or what kind of facilities it will have. But it looks pretty big. It will be interesting to see, and if I like it, I'll be a lot more likely to go to it at that location instead of driving 8-10 miles or more into town.

    I would like to ask a question, if I may
    Too bad, I'm asking anyway

    Diamond Head in Hawaii - do you think it is possible, for someone in our condition, to walk this trail and stairs?

    If you have done it - was it easy or hard? was it pre WG or after?

    I got a nice little workout by doing a quick cleaning of my gutters late yesterday, just before dusk.... with the rain we are getting, they sorely needed it and it will need to be done again soon. The workout was largely from carrying a heavy ladder around, and this was after moving heavy crates of lily bulbs around at work. I just have a small house, more of a cabin, so it was only about 58 feet of gutters, which in retrospect, sounds like a lot, but isn't, compared to most houses. I got it done in less than an hour but didn't have time to do the very best job. Just enough to keep the rainwater moving.
