Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

I use my treadmill  to walk and read(if I keep it at about 2.7 mph.I can 
hold the book and read, can increase incline.(of course I haven't been on it 
, cause I am too busy!!!lately, but I will soon. I also walk a bit , going 
out with Rascal and coming back too.(on the ground>bg<).S Fixing the 
ring(like handraking the low spots, stripping stalls, while pushing a full 
wheelbarrow thru 6-8inches of mud(uphill).Going up and down the stairs 
10-15. times a day because I keep forgetting things.Some stretches with my 
foot on the bathroom counter.
