Good work. Been a while since I caught up with the blog. Looks like the fitness regime is working- Can't beleive you kept it up on holiday so well. Mind out for the high calorie super-refined carbohydrates in the USA- I tripped over a few while I was there! We need to do spirometry to measure your lung capacity in more detail when I return to work- so long as you promise not to break the machine!
