nothing new

Been lazy. Again. I need a fitness goal. Can someone find me one?

I was going to lose 30 pounds this summer. I gained. I don't know how much. I'm terrified to look. I will though, Saturday after the 5K.

There is construction everywhere. You can't walk three blocks without hitting some. South Bethlehem is a mess.  And there's still a year to go on it. Cattell Street, in front of my office has been torn up, off and on, since winter. They are tearing up the sidewalks at the bottom of College Hill. Now they are tearing up campus.

And I wonder why I stopped walking so much. My walking buddies moving and retiring didn't help either. I'm mor motivate when someone is at my door.

I haven't been totally inactive. I've walked at lunch. I've walked around Musikfest. I've walked back and forth to campus (3 times one day!). Nothing that will add up.

Some positive news. The south Bethlehem Greenway is almost done. The art trail in Easton is almost done. They''ll be some new, flat, areas to explore. On the flat, smooth, new trails I'm going to work on speed.

The 5K in Alburtis Saturday will be interesting. Last year I did it in about 51 minutes. A personal best at that time. I can only hope to do that well this time. Hopefully Bonnie will be able to get off the bench and come also. As much as I complain about "Jillian", she really does motivate me. I know Lyd isn't coming. I'm not sure about Kathy.

We have many 5Ks coming up. Need to get my at in gear. Maybe by the Turkey Trot in November I can be under 50 minutes again.
