I’ve been on a weight loss kick the last few weeks.  My clothes and the scale are telling me that I’ve lost weight, my mind refuses to believe it though.
Today, instead of running, I went out on a hike with the fam. We went out to purgatory and walked around there for awhile.  After the walk/ hike, we went swimming at the YMCA.  I swam my short swim workout, so it was only 1000 yards.

I wanted to take a moment to address some blog business. Some of you may have noticed that old posts were being recycled to the front page.

Old posts that have no relation …
