Friday, December 2: Ditto.

Sunday, December 4: Two treadmill sessions (34 and 12 minutes) and then a wee core workout.
Monday, December 5: Nothing to report exercise wise.

Tuesday, December 13: Forty-four treadmill minutes spread over two sessions:

Thursday, December 15: Nothing to report.
Friday, December 16: Napped instead of exercising and it almost cost me dearly.

Wednesday, December 28: It was one of those I-don’t really-want-to-be-here workouts, but the result wasn’t too shabby: 16 treadmill minutes, weights (chest, shoulders, triceps, traps, and lower back), and then another 10 treadmill minutes. Unfortunately, I fear I consumed far more calories than I burned.
Thursday, December 29: Only enough time for 24 treadmill minutes:
Friday, December 30: A planned evening workout was torpedoed by dinner and two beers with students and colleagues to mark both the end of a very memorable 2-week program and the notorious year that was 2016.
