keeping in shape

Grandpa /Vernon gets up every morning at 5:30 a.m. and starts walking on the treadmill about 6:00. The sky is usually still dark when he starts. Eventually this is what you see out the window. Grandpa Vernon is finding that gradually he is able to go faster and longer distances. He fell one day a few weeks ago on the treadmill. His shins got banged up pretty bad but they healed and the doctor here reommended that he stay off his feet for a few days. Grandma/Jerry gets on the treadmill at 6:30 a.m. and walks 4 miles in an hour. By then the sun is up over the buildings and the room is bathed in sun light. With the window wide open it is almost as nice as walking outside. Reading and walking is one of the benefits of getting exercise on a treadmill. The mission has cleared all the furniture out of this one room on the 3rd floor right next to our apartment for exercising. They bought the treadmill just for the three couples. The other exercise appparatus was given to us by one of the members of the mission presidency. We have a set of weights in the room too. Because the room is so convenient we are exercising everyday now except Sunday.
