Nice weather

Boy was it a nice morning today. I didn't get up until 6, but I still got a few miles of walking in with the dogs. Even though I don't like my new workout plan, the dogs are loving it. Every morning we walk around 5am (except for swim days), and they think it is the new way of life, so they expect it. They look forward to breakfast also asap when we get home. They sit by the food bin and wait. They still get walks at night too, so I am close to keeping up with Forrest. We walk about 3 miles in the morning and 2-3 at night. I have also worked myself up to 3 miles so far running. I still get a good amount of chest pain, so I can't really go any farther. Swimming bothers me the least, so I have been getting 3 one hour swims in a week. Not much biking because it is all hills here and they get my heart going in a bad way. I'm still taking Norvasc, but only 2.5 mg, so I don't notice a difference yet. It hasn't been a week yet though, we'll see. If arterial spasms are the true issue, that is just too scary for me to do any cold water swims, so that will put spring triathlons out for the future (guess that might mean I can't swim in Lake Michigan either). I pick up my new canvas for my pop-up camper this weekend and have someone from work coming out to help me put it on. It will be quite a task and it cost $1500, so we have to be careful with it. I better not get mice again.
Take care all.

I can relate to you babies loving to walk with you. My Jessie-Marie brings her lease to me as I prepair to walk. She just goes to the closet door knob where we keep it and drags it to where I'm at. Tri-Girl take care of yourself and get back to 100%. There is a nut in Missouri who keeps looking over his shoulder like he has got a nervous twinge.
