Earned another badge!

“ Fun fact! 180 miles is the distance from top to bottom of the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. Bet you didn’t know that! 🤓”



Feeling pretty good about my progress. The 1.6 was easier today. I made sure to take it more slowly - I think my excitement about increasing distance may have made me push too hard yesterday.

I also got through weekend chores. The hips are tired, but now they can rest. As long as I get up and move every hour so I don’t stiffen up. Patience. Time and patience.

  4. Did not know that little tidbit... I believe the east-west dimension is longer (at least it seems that way when you drive it!) Good progress - keep it up!!

  5. Nope, did not know that. Not sure I ever clocked the miles when going through PA to NJ from Southern Tier of NYS... I was more concerned about the kid, the dog, etc. and maintaining sanity! Well done slowing yourself down so you don't end up having to STOP!
