I had two great exercises yesterday and today (Saturday and Sunday).

First of all I ended up being able to fend off myself from fully getting that cold that was going around the daycare where I work. What a relief!

Yesterday I went to the gym and did my favorite stairmaster for 40 minutes. My pattern (I think) was:

Levels 8 down to 1 (1 minute each level, 1 set)
Levels 8 down to 1 (2 minutes each level, 1 set)
Level 1 for the rest of the time (not balancing hands on sides, in order to keep my heart rate up when needed)

I did that during the day yesterday, and then yesterday evening I walked for like an hour in the park (10K).

Today I went on a walk with an old college friend, Alice, and her five-year-old son, so it was very stop and start but altogether 15K.

Judith from the gym actually joined in for part of it but then left us to head back to the gym.

It feels so good to feel healthy and the sunny weather and be able to move and be active with friends.
