Easy day

Went to the park for an hour, walked for 15 min and the rest 40 just played with my 7yo around the playstructure. It had a 6 foot rock climbing wall, which I did a couple of times, even tho the footholds were made for size 2 shoes and not size 8 worn by a 160 pounder person. Rock climbing would be a good thing to pursue, I used my upper body and abs, am sure tomorrow will hurt in the arms, havent used these muscles in a long time.

There is a rockclimbing wall 5 miles from our house and when GB returns, maybe we can do some sessions there- will have to keep this in mind.

All day long keep thinking about my goal of -36 in 365. Have got a book from the library on mindless eating, want to walk and run, but no time in the morning as its so dark and as it is I am supposed to take it easy for 26 days after a marathon- not that I am having any trouble with that.

November 1 2008 will start off -36 in 365. Will have GB put in the weight loss counter and then GO For It!!
