Donna, keep your eye out. If there are any kayak rental spots near you, they usually have great season-ending sales near or after Labor Day, as they don't want to pay to store them all over the winter. And you might as well post a "wanted" on Freecycle - you never know, someone may have one hanging around that could use some use!

I am glad you are enjoying the treadmill. Personally, I find them evil beasties that are designed to throw me off of them - seriously! With my "balance issues" I find the stationary bike is best, I can hang on much better.
