Ran during lunch. Now that I'm working from home most of the time, I need to come up with a good running trail. I have a 1/2 mile loop that has some good hills. I ran the first mile without walking. Need new batteries for our bathroom scale, so I can tell how much I weigh! (The "before" weight") I think I'm about 205 -- as all of my jeans are too tight!

Finally fixed the bathroom scale. Ouch!!!!

Will increase mileage gradually. Too heavy to accelerate too quickly.
