Tested

Since February, I have not had another walking test until today. Walking distance in six minutes increased 46 meters and speed increased by at least one second. Well, it doesn't sound like much but I was pleased. She also tested my hip strength. Finally, top score! More testing next week.

Had a good time in the fitness rowing and doing weights as usual. Water aerobics went on this week - last week they were having trouble with chlorine levels thus no swimming. Felt like my leg was moving better than usual, with more strength.

Took Hazel and Casper through their new training regiment again this evening. Hazel was wiped out. I think he even might be feeling some pain in his limbs. Rest up, baby. More tomorrow!

Plants are doing well. The morning glory is winding its way along and the strawberries just keep coming. Tomatoes and peppers are still tiny. Rucola and cilantro are coming on strong. I downloaded a couple recipes for salsa using cilantro. Hope to use that in the coming weeks. Lettuce is still going like crazy - it's great to be able to just pull a leaf or two when needed.

Thanks for keeping in touch!
