Still Cold Here

Yep. It is still cold here. It is less than 20 degrees right now, but supposed to get into the 40s. Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it.

At the house, the sheet rock finishers should have finished yesterday. We'll find out a little later today. I might go furniture shopping today. Much more fun than cleaning up at the house in the cold (with no heat!). The brickers still haven't been able to work since it is below freezing. Hopefully next week they will be able to work every day.

Last night at the RaceTrac, gas was $1.74. Looks like we need to enjoy these prices now as they are disappearing quickly.

In other major news, I've joined a group to start running. I'm doing it to get in shape and stay in shape. The program is for 3 days a week, but we are planning to meet 4 times a week. The first week was walking briskly the first and last 5 minutes. In between, we run 1 minute & walk 1.5 minutes. The total time at the track is 25 minutes. Not bad. The second week, we run more and walk less. The running increases each week until we are running the 1.5 mile track. At the end of 9 weeks, we should be ready for a 5K. We are supposed to do a 5K on Memorial Day in May. I can do this. I am the oldest one and doing very well or better than some of the younger people. Yeah me. We did not "practice" on Thursday due to the cold. I think with the wind chill, it was about 10. Way to cold for all of us. Wednesday it was so cold that it was harder running than on our first day.

That is all for now. We have lots to do on this Saturday.
