Well, when I say late night, the latest I'm finishing is 9 pm. And it's the summer so I can go to bed late, since I work on a school year schedule.

Today I did 30 minutes on the stairmaster, and 30 minutes on the weight floor. I'm still doing the "Levels 5,4,3,2,1" x 2 min. x 3 repetitions" pattern. I've made it harder by now not leaning my arms on the stairmaster for "2,1." It's given the work-out an added challenge, and I could not avoid leaning by the third set. I also have been doing some backward walking. The back of the stairmaster (the two good ones) face a mirror so that helps. I was glad to get the classic stairmaster today and not the Matrix. Being on the Matrix is like the Wild West. I can get a good work-out but it's like I'm on a run away horse- I can't do patterns, I can barely keep it from bucking me off.

I chatted with Miriam today. I googled her yesterday and saw the preview of the documentary they are doing on her musical theater class for elderly folks. She just impresses me more and more. I also saw Judith who called out from the couch by the television, "Jenny, you are late!" Actually arriving at 4pm was earlier than usual. Anyway...
