But I do not reward myself every time. For example last Sunday I swam for the first time 135 laps or 2.1 miles in 2h 14 min (slow and…

1 . Music....mmmh, I like lots of different music. My favorite changes with my mood. I like the 80's hairbands, some older country, the 80's pop, classical music and the old R&B..... 2. I walk, swim and ride the bike at the gym on a regular basis …… when I walk I listen to books on tape (currently the final Tom Clancy book…
