July 17 Thursday 10:00 pm

83 degrees and still  over 60 percent humidity

It continues to be to hot and humid for my afternoon bike ride and I just hate running but, at 10:00 pm my daughter and I were out running up and down the driveway to keep active. I have measured the length of the driveway, it is 96 feet.There are 5280 feet in a mile so we have to do 27 1/2 loops of the driveway to equal 1 mile. We are up to 20 loops of our driveway, approximately 3/4 of a mile, and I hate every minute of it.

We found out Monday that the sign up for the Women Biathlon (sponsored by Sportscare) starts July 26, 2008 between 4 - 6:00 pm at sportscare. web site is www.sportscarewomensbiathlon.com  this has the 20k bike route but not the 5k run/walk available. I hope they get it up soon so I can start visualizing myself biking and jogging it.

I want my daughters to be in much better shape and to live a healthier life than I did when I was younger. They have been taught more about living a healthy life in school than I know now as an adult and they are the ones explaining to me about heart rate and how to exercise. Thank God there have been a few things I could teach them. I just wish my 12 year old could learn to ride a bike, but so far this has not gone well. If we can find someone to ride the 20k then she could do the 5k run/walk and could participate too.
