Woo-hoo!  Two walks outside, two days in a row!.  It finally is feeling like hibernation is over and both of these walks have been at pretty good speeds.  Not ready for jogging the cul-de-sacs yet (July?) and not ready for bleacher steps yet (August?) and not ready for a marathon walk (maybe in September?) but definitely making progress. Tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m. Sandy is picking me up and we're heading over to Holden Arboretum for the 3 mile Heart Walk.  She thinks we might do just the one mile walk but we should definitely make it worth our while for that early hour on a Saturday! I'm also steeling myself to not get psyched out by the number on the scale tomorrow at noon.  The last two weeks have been much better all around and I've been feeling much more positive about the whole process.  No crashes allowed.  This CAN be done -- Barb
