Pete did three hours of wrestling after school immediately followed by three hours at the dojo. Man, I miss that kind of stamina.

Meanwhile, the jalapeno did 15 minutes of lifting weights at the gym, followed by 6 hours of video games. I am confused about how the kid who ran me ragged on a daily basis turned into this.
Before Christmas we moved the treadmill from a spot upstairs where it was very inconvenient to use down to my office. Since the year started I've been using it almost every day. I started easy and I've worked up to a 3 mph pace. I do a 5 minute gradual speedup, 30 minutes at full speed, then a 5 minute cool down. From here I'll start adding a step of incline every week or two and bump up the speed gradually until I hit my max walking pace without breaking into a trot. That's somewhere around 3.5 mph, if I recall. I have an upright rowing machine that's going to get into the mix as soon as I pull it out of storage. My weight is holding steady right around 180-185 and I seem to have lost most of my belly fat over the last year since surgery. At my heaviest, I got up to around 225 a couple of years ago and this is much better. Our foster dog learned how to use a treadmill when she was in reactivity boot camp so I've had her up on it a few times now and she actually seems to enjoy it. Go figure.

Finally got his front row seat.
Damn, Mays and Uecker
