Hi all! I've been back this week but didn't spend much time online. Today I am getting my new 'replacement " treadmill. 
this was a long haul but precor is finally doing it. they are sending a crew out here to take down the defective one and set up the new one. The electrical shocks I was getting are better with the wiring defect taped, but not gone. so it's replacement time!
In the meantime we had an easy vacation. we did 2 desert type hikes in eastern washington. we did two skis,a snowshoe and a hike in yellowstone. We did not get very good weather. Loads of snow left and plenty of wind. More snow than I would have expected at the end of march and this was end of april. we saw a bunch of deer, elk, bison mostly outside the park. we saw a huge herd of pronghorns and bighorns just inside the park. saw wolf tracks and bear tracks but no actual critters. Lots of winter kills scattered around in the park. It was a very hard winter and winter wasn't near over. we left in a snowstorm! Also sandhill cranes, bluebirds, many hawks and eagles. Our camper heater was rebellious and refused to work but then decided to come back on anyway after making us think the comfort factor was leaving us. we froze up our water system one night too. but no other difficulties.
Since I've been back I did several sessions of treadmill/ elliptical, and KPC but nothing difficult. I need to get back on program. My jeans ( in contrast to stacy's capris) are tight again. sitting and driving plus wine and chocolate does damage, alas.
Glad to hear you've all been sticking with the program. Tell me, is step boxing the same as kickboxing? my vast boxing experience is KPC.
