Day Six

Oh, we were so tired this morning! It was so very hard to get out of bed. Except when the stupid cat woke me up at 4:30 am begging to be let outside. OK, not so much begging as ripping holes in the carpet to prompt me to leap out of bed and grab it by the scruff of the neck and heave-ho! out the door like some kind of Olympic hurler.

I'm a wuss, I admit it. I let the girls sleep in this morning. It was wet and rainy outside, and the wet, rainy weather always makes me feel extra-sleepy. So after waking up for the third or fourth time since 4:30 am - this was probably around 6:45 or so - Mary came downstairs and wanted to eat a bit of breakfast before heading out. Then Deb came down, wondering what kind of exercise we were going to start with. Then Cheryl showed up, and suddenly it was time to go!

Unfortunately, Cheryl and Deb weren't really in the mood to go walking, so it was just Mary and I. We only did a half-walk, though, skipping through the shortcut to the other side of the development and then coming back the normal way. Say a mile and a half. Or something like that.

Upon our return, Cheryl and Deb jumped right into our post-walk weight training exercise, which lasted a good twenty minutes and was pure torture for an old bod like mine. I was only to happy to flee upstairs after all my muscle groups had been ripped anew, take my shower, then head off to work.
