Wow, almost a week without a post from chez trek. Between weather events and the beginning of the semester and the next exercise regimen, I've been really busy.
Thank you to all of the people who commented on my previous post. Your support is much appreciated and it also has motivated me to blog a quick Friday Morning Bullet Post this morning.
- The Walk At Home program continues to move right along here.
- I tried one of the DVDs from the library (try before you buy technique); I really like the 5 mile fat burning one
.
- Planning to buy it soon.
- Library sent me an email that they have the 4 really big miles
ready for me to check out. This one came highly recommended by a friend of mine, so I am looking forward to giving it a try; likely that will be tomorrow morning.
- Ordered three sets of these
yesterday afternoon. Might need to add another set if this isn't quite enough area but free shipping so it's all good.
- TazzMom stopped by last night for a few minutes to pick up something. I told her about the program.
- She walked home in the ice and snow muttering walkathome.com, walkathome.com...
- I feel sort of like an apostle of fitness.
- Except for the stubborn bit of extra abdominal flab, that is.
- Oh. well, that, too, shall pass, no?
- Snow storm moved in Wednesday night and by 5 o'clock yesterday morning, Number Guy's work delayed their opening until noon. At 5:10, Neatnik's school announced a two hour delayed opening. Twenty-four minutes later, the college cancelled all classes at all campuses. A follow-up phone call at 7:14 declared a snow day.
- Why, yes, we did have a fair bit of the precipitation requiring removal from the drive-and walkways.
- Very icy out there today.
- Note to self: find *some* store that has de-icer pellets pronto.
- Said cancellations resulted in my posting an entire lecture on my programming class blog.
- And now the emails have begun to arrive.
- Three students have already sent me the homework due next week. One of them came from a student who is not a native English speaker and the email made me chuckle, so I shall leave you with it and wish you a happy and safe weekend. Time to walk!

Aw, there should be more Cheerful Exchange Students! :)
I think the snow that was camped out over MN, dumping copious amounts of snow on us every few days has moved over you now. Um, sorry?
Also, I have a link in linkity today about a free 15-minute/day no-equipment home workout plan... from 1904. It actually sounds cool!
Walk On! Now, listen, I've always been incredibly impressed with your ability to walk and knit at the same time (perhaps even insanely jealous as I have moments of such spectacular incoordination that I am unable to talk and breathe at the same time), if you tell me you're knitting while doing these tapes, I will be reduced to tears. Though I won't be a bit surprised at your talent.
I am with you on the exercise plan, I have managed to do 5 days a week consistently this month. Hopefully the trend will continue for both of us!
Thanks for the reminder to check the library! They have three of her DVDs, 1 mile advanced, 2 mile intervals and a 3 mile fat burning one. They all are out, but I'll have to put a hold on them and give it a go!
Have you settled on something to help with the basement floor? I'll be using the basement as well. It does have carpet and I believe some carpet pad, but I suspect more shock absorption would be good.
I love the Cheerful Exchange Students :) They are much better behaved than the normal students.
I like anyone who is cheerful these days. All this snow is making most people grumpy beyond all belief...
