here.
Dizzy Blondes:
Nothing much; just wheel maintenance time.
Strategy:
About waiting and being patient with yourself.
Put a Lid On It:
The kitchen is quiet, due to 100F heat. Yearning for a chance to make more pickles.
Aw Shoot!
90
minutes on the elliptical is my current standard. Weight loss stalled, but
that’s okay because I seem to be building considerable muscle. Roxy is getting
walks out in the neighborhood, but not much more in the heat. 10K run on
elliptical easily achieved in August. The problems with using BMI as a guide to
good health. Better method: circumference of waist to that of hips.
Mother Jones: Why BMI is a Big, Fat Scam.
Summer Running Essentials:
Please remember to hydrate you and any running pals.
Important facts:
one gallon of water weighs 8.3 pounds
Any mammal can carry only up to one quarter of its weight.
Ruffwear backpacks for dogs.
Something I Really Like:

Blather:
CFR6 (of course). I have been felled by a rather nasty sinus infection for several weeks. Meanwhile, Tirion has become the alarm clock for the farm.
