    Gotta get back to strength training today!

    Pat, I just have a lot of free time these days so I walk home from work and then sometimes get an extra walk in at night! Plus, I've been a little more active at work lately. Those steps during the day really add up. Prior to this month, I was probably getting something like 4,000 steps a day.
