In September when I go to Utah on vacation though, I've told my friends I want to do some walking. Perhaps I'd better start now and work up to it. I'll try and post more recipes. I have a ton of them and my brother is always giving me more. :)

I went bike riding night before last. First time in over a year. I can still feel the imprint of the seat on my behind. I walk alot, but riding used a whole different set of muscles. Going to keep it up.
