Overdoing it a bit on the bike rides ... or trail hikes, dear? G From your
later post, it appeared to end up in an even swap anyway. Can't ask for much more
than that. In my mind, that is perfection - is exactly what we are hoping to
accomplish.

Just possibly. 35 miles by bike, 9 miles of hiking up 3,800 feet and
hten back down and then 17 miles of biking last weekend. This week I
have only been walking - a cold also has curtailed some of the
exercise.

LOL! I think the *just possibly* might be the understatement of the year. It
does sound like you might have pushed yourself a bit far, then not given any time
for recovery. Walking is a good thing - at least it better be since that seems to
be what I am doing. G I have so far avoided the cold, and hope I continue to do
so. Everyone else in my house has been extremely ill, daughter missed 2 days of
school. She and hubby are still fighting the cough, sonny boy with an ongoing
sore throat. For a change, I'm the healthy one who doesn't have time to be sick.

Well, I did a hike yesterday but really took most of this week off. I
still have remnant congestion and a small cough. I will have to talk
myself into walking the nearby lake in the dark as the choices will be
that or the nordic track (ack!) in another week or so. And they are
predicting a final end to our pretty endless Summer here. Rain and
damp pretty much full time after tomorrow. But hopefull, the
weathermen will be as wrong as they usually are. But we desparately
need rain. The hike yesterday was affected by smoke from some smaller
forest fire. At this point, they are waiting for rain and snow to
extinguish a number of the smaller blazes.

I missed my treadmill appointment this morning, had a little visitor planned (that
would be my grandson). So informal non-exercise it was ... rolling on the floor,
gramma being pounced upon, cleaning, vacuuming, dusting. It surprises me how much
this little boy likes to clean. I probably should have him over more often. G

Well, that has to be fun - maybe even the cleaning. But definitely,
the grandson playtime.

Oh, it truly was fun! I sometimes forget how everything is new and exciting to
small children. They still have that innocense. Yesterday looked like I wasn't
going to make that treadmill appointment also, had to be at the dentist by 8:30
... and was a lengthy appointment. I then spent a few hours with a numb mouth,
waiting for pain to kick in G ... finally at 1:30 told myself to just get over
it and ventured to the basement. Amazingly I did feel better, and never did have
one second of pain.

You are good. Glad the dentist did not result in pain.
