Saturday, May 12
It was a beautiful evening for a bike ride. I did 5 easy miles in 30 minutes and enjoyed every second of it!

Sunday, May 13
Spent 3 grueling hours digging up last year's garden (emptying pots, pulling weeds, turning soil, mixing in new soil), planting the new one, and staking posts and fencing around it.

Somehow I managed to muster up the energy for a run, too; another three-mile, 46-minute run/walk (10 min. of walking warm-up and cool-down included). Was able to do all quarter-mile jogging intervals (at 4.8 mph) separated by two minutes of walking.
