“That walk felt amazing! I plan on doing it daily now. Hopefully it will help tone my legs a little faster then my regular walk around the block. I love this site!”

Erica G I suppose it's a good thing that the post office refuses to drop parcels at the door, and instead stores my deliveries not in my suburbs post office, but the one over... Yay?

Walked three miles today. Not outside but on the indoor track. No treadmill! I think this still counts, it's around a rink so it is cold, just like outdoors.
