Hope everyone is enjoying their exercise.

Welcome back!

I wanted to tell you that I finally saw the StairMaster machines at my gym yesterday. I thought maybe we didn't have any. We only have three and they are tucked into a corner but my God those things are huge! If yours are the same kind you are climbing Mount Everest every time you get on. I am so in awe of you!

As for me I was on the treadmill yesterday for 30 minutes. When I went on Tuesday I tried to speed up some but it started hurting my bad knee. So I had to slow back down to a little bit faster than tortoise speed. I decided yesterday that if I couldn't be a hare, then I was going to be a mountain goat. I increased my incline every five minutes as a way to give myself a challenge. It went pretty well!
