Day 331 Spoke to my friend they changed the funeral so that she and her huband could still come see me in April…so tragic 🙁 Found a swedish singer Lars Winnerbäck http://popup.lala.com/popup/432627073623591516 love his voice! Session 58 went fine…added some cardio after, I did 1-mile walk at 3.8-4.0 = 16 min…hmm I guess I need to work on that one 😀
