Hanging in

Have been active regularly for the past few days, either at the gym or elsewhere. Actually seem to have lost about 3 pounds, which is both surprising and encouraging. We'll see whether those pounds stay lost. Given outdoor temps in the upper 90s, the gym is a godsend. I've used the rowing machine a bit - reasonable aerobic exercise, and I feel that reaching for the next stroke actually stretches out my calf muscles a bit, so that could be a very good thing.

Leaving for a couple weeks in NYC a week from Tuesday. US Open is one of the hardest tournaments to maintain exercise routine; I guess we'll see if my motivation is up to the challenge.

Peace. ... Steve
