A cold winter week has past.

Nothing of very much interest has gone on this past week. I have gone to Anytime Fitness 3 times in the past week.
Oh, and I made a computer table. It was made according to my plan. Boy am I glad I did not have to pay for the labor for this project. I would be making monthly payments on the labor for several months!!!!!
                                                                           

This is the finished product. I made numerous mistakes so I will use this one as a model. It turned out fairly good.

It stands just high enough so that I can type while I am sitting on the sofa. I have a couple more designs in mind and will start on them when it gets warmer.

These are pictures were taken when it stopped snowing last Wednesday at 5:30 P.M.

 The snow was beautiful while I was inside my warm home with Shirley and the 2 dogs.
But it was cold outside.

So  I went outside only when I had too. The lowest temperature last week at our house was 21 degrees F.

I will start running to Anytime Fitness on Monday February 26 and do my exercise and then run back home. The total will be 7.3 miles. 3 times  a week depending on the weather. I am getting to be a fair weather runner?
The Track and Field season will soon be here.
If anyone would like to see the Swans, drive to the Smuck Rd. and watch on either side of the road.
Until next time

February 11 to February 18

I went to Anytime Fitness on Monday. I had been going to A/F 3 times a week since January 3. Dick showed me the all of the exercise machines that I needed to do to strengthen my upper body for pole vault and sprinting.
I was doing about 13 different stations with varying weights. On Monday I tweaked my pectoral muscles. So I have been recuperating for the past week. I had received and invitation from my friend Dave Lee who is the track coach for Multnomah Bible School if I could come and help at a track meet in Centralia, WA. I said yes and when I arrived at the track I found out that it was an outdoor meet. Oh, no, no rain gear. So I found the nearest Wal-Mart and bought a plastic poncho for $5.00.
It lasted for about 3 hours, just long enough to keep me half dry for the day. It rained and rained and blew and blew all the time during the track meet. I helped at the pole vaulting and the high jumping events.
It was a cold and wet day for the officials and the participants. The wind gusts were 25 to 30 miles and hour. All you runners out there can appreciate running on the windy side of the track and running into the wind but great down the home stretch.
The meet was an open meet which means that anyone can pay the fee and participant in their event. But who in their right mind would want to do that?
Hooray for once I am in my right mind because I was an official and could not participate.
For once I am safe.
