Here's a quick summary of the workouts that I did last week:

• Monday, July 11: Mowed lawn for 2 hours 7 minutes. Biked 10.1 miles in 55 minutes.
• Tuesday, July 12: Worked around the house.
• Wednesday, July 13: Worked around the house.
• Thursday, July 14: Worked around the house.
• Friday, July 15: Mowed lawn and worked around the yard for 2 hours 56 minutes.
• Saturday, July 16: Big get together of family and friends at our house. Busy.
• Sunday, July 17: Kathleen's birthday. Busy.

This week, Kathleen and I focused on getting our new house ready for a house warming party on Saturday. This meant a lot of work inside and outside the house. I continued to use my Polar S710 heart rate monitor to measure the amount of physical effort expended in mowing and pruning trees.

We found a challenging 10-mile out-and-back ride through the hills of Newtown Township, PA. We rode it on Monday and we looked for other opportunities to go, but just didn't have time.

For the week, I exercised for 5 hours 58 minutes burning 2,942 calories, and covering a total of 10.1 miles on my bike.
