I’m washing my hands a lot today after writing about the surge in flu cases yesterday, but otherwise, I’m feeling healthier and my cold seems to be subsiding.
Becky and I started the day with a vigorous workout at the gym, walking a mile and then ellipticalling 12 minutes and stationary biking 12 minutes -- Well, I did anyway, Becky doesn’t do the elliptical since they changed the machines.
She headed to breakfast with a friend and I grabbed a small breakfast sandwich with no fatty meat on the way into the office where I went to work on the story about an almost-104-year-old woman I interviewed yesterday.
Fun lady, even if she was having a bad day. She credits her longevity to her love of good food, which was often accompanied by a good cocktail, I understand.
That story is in tomorrow’s edition, along with the late-breaking story about a government contract that will be a big boost for a Richland Township facility.
All that non-heart stuff pushed back my work on The Tribune-Democrat’s American Heart Month project, but I’m still a little ahead of the game. I did manage to get the main story probably halfway done. I’ll just have to finish that story tomorrow and write another one about the Windber man who received a heart transplant.
I may add one more surprise, but it could hold until Monday’s paper and double as this month’s Health Matters feature. More on that later, maybe.
I didn’t get on the scales at home today, but the HealthStyles digital said I was down another pound since Monday, so I guess we’ll see tomorrow. Becky said she was also down a pound, but she went back for a zumba class this evening, so she’s probably wasting away by now.
