Status check:

Lungs - OK

Feet - OK

Legs - Utterly shot, hard to get up stairs, painful going down.

Resolve - Holding steady. Two day rest in prospect.

Consequences of Failure - Unbearable humiliation. Wife a recent graduate.

Sounds like you're status is above average - both lungs and feet ok?! Well done and good luck with the rest of the plan. I bet your wife is happy for you - she knows how good this makes you feel.

STRETCH, the best one for thigh muscles (i find) is to sit on your shins and lean back - REALLY stretches thigh muscles, a good one for your calves is to 'prop' your foot on a step at an angle and lean into it

makes ALL the difference :-)
