Hiked about a mile and a half with Mom, DS and puppy. Puppy probably did 3 miles to my 1. Kiddo kept us at a slower pace. It was hot and humid even at 8:00AM so that may have been a good thing!

Yea! Some company!

Very, very slowly! We stuck to wooded trails so the shade helped. We went early-ish. I still required a shower when we got home. I was drenched!

So far today my movement has included getting out of bed, freshening the birds' water and filling the feeders. Cooked for DS and sat myself down to check my email. Oh wait, I walked the puppy around the yard for 5 mintues. It is a little cooler and drier today so I will be trying to catch up on the housework.

I unfortunately had to skip 2 days of a real workout. On Wed. I took my daughter to see the real "Pirates of the Carribean" ship and we walked all around the docks and water front. We found some stairs to climb, but I could tell it wasn't challenging enough.

Yesterday was just a plain wash.

This morning I got back on track with a quick one hour "brisk" walk.

Oh shoot, do chores count? ... I walked the half a KM to the bottom pasture and fed Luna and Tetley this morning (and did a lot of pushing Luna back when she thought Tetley's food look more delicious than hers, she only gets 1/4 scoop of maintanence and tetley gets 3/4 scoop of hi fat hi fibre and 1/4 scoop of sweetfeed). I lugged 4 - 25 litre muck buckets of water to fill up the 100 gallon stock tank, I dug 3 holes for posts, 3 ft deep, in pan clay soil. I made a set of jump standards. ....Uhh I could go on LOL

My motto is everything counts, it may not be a balanced workout, but moving is moving in my book.

On a dear friend's advice after moaning on and on about my sore arches I broke down and bought a new pair of running shoes. I can't wait to try them out later! :weee (Notice I avoided purchasing the "walking shoes" ;) )

Today was a day of rest for me. I smoked 3 meat loaves and 3 turkey breasts. The rest of the day I am concentrating on doing 16 oz
Coors Lights curls. :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you weren't so far away, I'd join ya!! (You might want to add tequila shots to get a more "balanced" work out. :p )
