The garter snake that lives under the corner of our garage was out sunning today, so it must be spring. I will have to remember his presence from now on to keep from being startled. The snake is a good omen. We never have mice in our garage thanks to him. He, or his heir, is there every year without fail. He is kind enough to share his homestead with us, so we co-exist.
Three months have gone by. It is boring update time. I do feel stronger and more fit. I try to jog 3x/week, and do stretching and floor exercises 2x/week. I do yoga sun salutations daily. I love eating vegan, unprocessed foods...as much as I want, never having to count calories or feel hungry. Only 3 more months of this 6 month challenge. Progress is very slow, just like me I guess, but it is happening. It is a lifestyle.
Dean only has 2 more chemo treatments, so should be done by mid-May, then a small surgery, and hopefully life will return to normal. He has set a kedge (see 4-27-11 blog) for himself ...he wants to get back into muscular shape and hike and summit Long's Peak in 2012. Admirable. Kids, do you want to accompany him? (Fear of heights, here).
I am still thinking of setting some of my own kedges. Turning 60 in August is one. We are thinking of running in a 10k race in the fall, but the date hasn't been set yet for the one we want to try. I'll come up with something.
