in the "gym" here at the apt complex.

on the bike path right outside our unit. Made it to 6th and K-10, then turned around. Mike passed me on his way to Clinton.

Spent some time exploring open houses around Lawrence. Looked in areas I had never been before, saw some interesting things. Like a washer and dryer 20 feet apart in the basement?!?

Graduation Day at PT, after seven weeks. They gave me advice on how to ramp up my walking, and when to start running. Also gave me a plan to follow, once I start to run. Plus lots of stretches and exercises to continue on my own. I feel well prepared.

The house was cleaned, last junk removed, papers were signed and the money is in the bank. Sold!

Moving day! Much less stressful than yesterday.

Some of today's activities
*hauling trash and mixed recycling to the curb
*opening doors for moving crew
*buying cold drinks for the crew (no fridge)
*watching the crew put everything in storage
*packing the last stuff that always remains
*exploring all the great storage in the new apt
*changing my AP location
*taking a nap

Everything went smoothly in under 6 hours, which included a lunch break and one hour drive to Lawrence.

We brought very little furniture to the apt. But we included the land boat, of course.

Did 5 min on the ellipse, so I'm counting the time

Lots of packing. How did we accumulate so much junk? But we're making real progress. We should be ready for Thursday.
