Over to NOW fitness to check out new Landice treadmills.  Not what I wanted to purchase, but the old one seems more and more problematic and it gets in the way of my workouts.  As Ecclesiastes said, everything has its season.  Turns out this is the end of treadmill season.  Looks like I can get a deal.   Sorta makes sense.  Folks break into the great outdoors for aerobics. 

I used to do all my aerobic work outside, all four seasons.  In the winter I snowshoed, in the other three seasons I hiked in the regional parks and rode a bike.  My bike rusted up and I started doing resistance work, which requires an indoor environment.  Over the last few years I’ve switched to 100% indoor.  The treadmill is a necessary part of my fitness regime.

Groceries.  They had fresh, wild walleye.  I bought some and made baked walleye, corn on the cob and asparagus for supper after Kate came home.  She got a big bonus this quarter and she’s floating right now.

Spent some time outside.  I fertilized the flowering bulbs, trimmed all the perennial grasses and dug up some ornamental annual grasses that finished their run.  Have not yet hit my stride with the outdoor work, but I will. I prefer to do garden work early in the morning, then use the rest of the day for writing, reading, exercise and MIA related work.  All that falls into place as the days become warmer.
