Friday May 14, 2021: 3.4 Miles

Today I finished 'The Iron Petticoat' from 1956 with Bob Hope and Katharine Hepburn; now I get the weekend to rest and figure out what to watch on Monday. I walked 3.4 miles on my treadmill in 40 minutes, with a break every 10 minutes for push-ups & squats totaling 40 of each. IMDb Movie Summary: A Russian female pilot leaves her native land for America and is captured by an Air Force captain who is put in charge of handling her while the military sorts out the matter. Meanwhile the Russian government does their best to get her back to Russia, but nobody can stop the two from falling in love -- not even the Air Force captain's fiancée.
