I didn't ride my bike for a couple nights because it's been so hot and humid.

But it rained today, and cooled down a bit, so I rode for just 45 minutes, around the park loop, then up and down the straight path flanking the park, then I felt a few drops of rain so headed home.

The neon yellow vest I ordered online came in the mail, and I wore it tonight. It was overcast and dusky out, but I felt pretty visible.

I was riding till 7:30, and now it's 7, as the light leaves earlier and earlier.

This business of still being dark at 6:30 in the morning is cramping my style.

Went for early coffee up the street to wait for light. It rained on me. (just a wee sprinkle really) It's September :blink: not supposed to have precip for another 6 weeks or so. Hmm.

It was cloudy out and still I managed to opt for beach over gym. I keep thinking about how soon it will be all messed up with construction. Sort of a 'get it while the getting is good' mentality. Right.

6 miles to assuage my guilt.

A little help from Gemme and Kelt, please...
 

:dog: = treadmill = 15 minutes at 1.0 miles per hour x 5 inch legs x 11 lbs = _____ Gemme calories?



divided by 645392-0.2 = ____ Kelt calories?


Daddy = no workout :coffee:

He got his special "workout" one. It's the BIG treat. Otherwise, he is stuck with this little scrubby one that he gets after he poops in the morning.

I am late for work every morning, so yes.

This is how we roll.

When we wake up his organic food + plus anti-oxidant sprinkled berry powder + omega 3 oil is placed in his bowl. We go outside. He pees 'cause he is psyched to get to his food.

After Daddy gets ready for work, and is always late, he takes dog out and dog poops. Dog poops because he knows he gets a treat when he come in. The little scrubby treat, that is.

I figured that 5 inch legs would constitute running rather than walking. Plugged it into the calculator at Runners World and the results?

"The distance and time you entered represents an invalid pace."

They say you are mean.

Happy to help. :cheesy:

Actually, it is only a slightly brisk pace for the guy. Seems like it would be faster, I know.

This is something that pops into my mind now and then when I am out; if a 6 foot man takes a dachshund for a walk, who walks further?

Rhetorical, I know, the same distance. It just always looks like the dog is doing a lot more work.

:thinking:

Me, today: 4.5 miles on the beach. My hand has been called. The bulldozers are on the move. Gym tomorrow. :(

Daddy should wake up earlier.

It's the sand that he likes.

Yep, there is, but my shocks are blown so I like the soft stuff.

Barring that, the arc at the gym is zero impact. It's second choice but at least I have options. I can still go for a shorter stroll in the afternoons on the remainder for the fresh air/outdoor aspects.

:theisland:

All I could manage to get myself to do yesterday was a 20 minute walk. I have already done that today as of 11:15 am, so hopefully I will do better today. I am off to the grocery store to buy healthy food. I sure wish I could find some decent avocados here, but so far no such luck.

2.5 hours in the park: walking, rock climbing, swing-set swinging, up/down steps, arm exercises while walking (makes me look like a dork!)

It is a beautiful fall weather day. I saw the same group doing kung fu. I saw another group having a picnic. I always like to guess why the people are gathered together when it doesn't look like family or friends exactly. Pot-luck meet-up for serial killers?

I haven't exercised formally since Tuesday. It was a rough adjustment to school, meaning the hours and the mental energy and the time. My sleep was a mess all week. It was great to sleep in today and go to the park.
