Forget Easy, Kermit. It's important "Bein' Green."

With all the talk about renewable and sustainable energy today, what are you doing to "live green" while you work toward your goals? I took this past weekend off -- visited friends in North Carolina . . . and felt better for it today!

Plan a break in your schedule. Put it on the calendar and pursue your "down time" in a guilt-free zone. Then enjoy the energy dividend it pays.


Snowman Trek Training Notes: It was a power aerobic day. Because of the intense heat, I retreated to the gym with lots of water and a towel to keep up with my sweat. I did the first 50 minutes on the Life Fitness Summit Trainer machine -- an ingenious piece of equipment that imitates hill climbing pretty darned closely. When my legs were screaming for mercy (I used the "Around the World" Hill Program), I turned to the recumbent bike at high RPM to round at the workout keeping my heart rate up. One and a quarter hours of work today.

Thought for the day: "Take a rest. A field that has rested gives a bountiful crop." ~Ovid
