yay!! thats fantastic jen!! way to go, you are doing great!

my day today was like this:

- slept until 11 am.

- did an hour of light housework (laundry and dishes) to finish

off the morning

- spent the afternoon painting primer on all surfaces of our

newly renovated front room. my upper body is hurting now... not

sure if it is from the woodchip workout yesterday, or the

painting workout today

- this evening i walked the dog for 50 mins (with 2 kids trailing

along on bikes ::sigh:, then did the first two miles of leslie

sansone's '4 fast miles' (plus warmup and ending stretch). i

did this workout on the rebounder, so the whole thing was

jogging. im happy to see that leslie has added some new moves,

has improved the music in her workouts and has also improved her

closing stretch alot! i really do think i can safely get rid of

her older workouts now.

Wow! You had a busy day Carolyn!

My kids have been asking to go for a walk with their bikes. DH explained that it wouldn't be a walk then but they didn't get his humor. We ended up going for a family walk for a short while to a playground near our house. There is a swingset there with two trapeze swings. One was just high enough for me to hang onto while bending my knees so my feet were off the ground and do chin-ups. I tried it a couple of times just for fun, then thought, hmmm.... I wonder how many I actually can do in a row? I was amazed to have been able to do one at all. I managed 2 in a row. Will have to go there more often and keep trying!

I like that 4 Fast Miles video too. I don't know if I can give up my older s or not. Some I'm okay with, others... I don't know. I should, I don't use them and when I do I'm always disappointed and I've got some that are great for low intensity/recovery workouts so I don't need all of them (and like you did, I could always do part of a workout and then go to the stretch on the longer ones)... I do need the space though... you've got me thinking about it anyway though.
