I walked four miles tonight at a pretty good clip — nearly about 4.5 miles per hour. I made a game of jogging from between two light poles along the path, walking between the next two, and then repeating. “OH”, my graduate student assistant from Thailand, has suggested that I either (a) think nothing, (b) focus on breathing in and out, or (c) do both while walking/cycling. He claims all exercise is mind over body and that it’s just a matter of being focused.

Took the vehicle in for service and had the ES as a loaner car for the day. After driving it some, I’m much happier with the RX (further confirmation that we made a good choice back when). I wonder if they would have a GS in a loaner car for the next service . . .

Tomorrow is the first day of school for teachers. Stephanie is pretty excited about the new year. Should be interesting!
