At 1100 I put on my trusty MP3 and ranged into town. Kept the music on while I shopped to keep up the tempo. Did my shopping and ranged on home WITHOUT STOPPING AT THE FAST FOOD JOINT FOR TRASH FOOD!

When I got home I kept the music on and danced with the cat. I was on my feet and moving for over an hour and didn't start hurting until I stopped. A great Urban Ranger Day!

I'm starting to Urban Range again slowly. As I mentioned in my I'm back post, if I stand more than 15 minutes my knees feel like they've been hit with a hammer. My feet and lower back hurt. I'm too heavy for my joints. I have to start somewhere.

7 May: Hubby and I took the bus to a huge store on the other side of town. The bus stop is about 1/2 kilometer from the store. We spent an hour walking through the store and gardening center. Then ranged back to the bus stop. Ranged to our allotment garden to drop off the plants we bought and then tromped home. All of this for 2 tomato plants! Thank goodness for trollies as plants weigh a lot.

8 May: Ranged to the allotment garden and spring cleaned the house for the summer season. Did a little gardening, ranged to the store to buy more flowers and ranged home. An active day.

Ive been tromping around every day as I don't own a car and hate to bicycle. By the time I reach anbus stop I'm over half way to town. Might as well keep going.
