Wow Kathy! That is quite a workout!

You know, Lori, it looks like alot on paper but in actuality... it is really only about 40 minutes. It seems short and like I didn't do that much until I write it down. Then it seems like alot. Funny how that works. Kathy

I swam a mile (72 laps). Eileen

Holey Moley, woman! That is alot of laps! One clap for each lap...

Sounds fantastic Eileen! How, though, do you keep count of your laps?? I have a hard time counting up to 11 laps (which equals one mile at my gym on the track!) Lori

I count round trips, so I really do 36 round trips. I count in sets of 10 round trips, do 3 sets of 10, then a set of 6. I used to wear a lap counter that fit on my finger, but now I can count it, no problem. Plus I watch the lap clock sometimes (when I'm bored). I do a round trip in 1 minute 3 seconds (when I'm being lazy, which is usually). Eileen

I walked three miles today. Laurie

Great Laurie! And how are you feeling these days? Better energy yet? Lori
