    Hi All!
    Today (SUNDAY) was my plan to be a DAY OF REST. I asked my husband to lets get out, It is such a beautiful day to do something, but he just wanted to sit in front of the TV & watch football. So I decided to WALK to the beach from our House and back Home, It took me 1 1/2 hours to walk 4.33 miles at 2.9 speed. ( pedometer reading ) I think I walked a lot faster then that, I don't walk that fast on my treadmill & my treadmill reads 3.0 to 3.2. Any way!!!!! yeah I got blisters on the toes, But Boy do I feel exhausted & Hungry LOL.

    I know blah blah blah :wink:

    Teresa - great job on the walk. The beach sounds so nice as we have snow, lots of wind and it is FREEZING out there!
