BW's

Dinner at BW's instead of Damon's tonight. We met our friends, Darrin and Maryann, and BW's is a nice halfway point.

On a side note, I'm bagging exercise for the week. I'll pick up again next week....

I tried bumping up the intensity on my workout today. I had to cut the biking short, I was just too pooped. But, I made it all the way through the treadmill routine, and it more than made up for what I missed with the bike.

Back to the Gym

Back to the gym this morning. Again with the 60 minute treadmill after 30 minutes of the bike. I think I'm going to bump up either the speed or intensity of the treadmill next time. It's plenty difficult, but I think I can manage more.

Baseball With the Nephew

Played some baseball with Nephew #1 this morning before we left for home. He's got a pretty good arm on him (for a five-year-old) and is pretty proficient with putting bat to ball, even when my pitches were less than perfect. He kept me running all over the yard for a good half hour.
