7 week update

My obsessive compulsive stretching is starting to pay off and I am getting more flexible.  I'm able to touch my toes on my right foot when I put my leg up on a bench now.  I am getting closer on the standing toe touch.  I started holding 30lb Dumbbells at the end of my workout and bending over to stretch.  Also, I just started using the seated cable row machine to increase my sit and reach stretch.  My external rotation is better than a week ago but I'm not there yet.  Hopefully, in 2 more weeks I can get my ankle to opposite knee and put socks on.  My walking speed has increased nicely.  On two occasions I walked over 3.6 miles at just above a 15 minute pace.  I can do the stair master now.  I am on seat level 3 on the bike comfortably (I started at 6 three weeks ago).  My strength is getting back to normal even though my body weight is 198-200.  I'll take strength increases at a lower body weight anyday.
