Today, Monday (well, I'm a few minutes past Monday as I write this- but you get the idea), I did 35 minutes on my favorite stairmaster with the beautiful pattern:

Levels 8 down to 1, 2 min each level x 1 set, 1 min each level x 1 set, 30 seconds each level x 1 set, 15 seconds each level x 1 set, Level 1 cooldown

I saw La La yesterday and today but we just exchanged a hello. Both days I saw her walking on the treadmill. I do the stairmaster across from her. I had a nice talk with Hillary. She's growing on me. She has been going to her same trainer 3 x wk for 7 years, and that's only a small part of what she does. She always looks so tired and determined. I admire her for not disappearing when she is tired like I do. She is so determined no matter how hard life is and it quietly inspires me.
