Sounds like you’re getting better. Keep it up. Maybe I’ll see you in the Boston Marathon next year.

Haha, NO marathons for me. I’m just trying to keep my body moving at least somewhat.

I don’t walk on Sundays. And on Monday we decided to take a nice leisurely drive in the country. It was relaxing.

Tuesday and Wednesday I hit it again with a combined distance of 3.2 miles. I’m still trying to, slowly but surely.

I did 1.4 miles Thursday and Today. It was 90 degrees but only 48% humidity. Not that bad really, it we’ll see what tomorrow brings. If I feel OK in the morning I might try walking then and again later that evening. We will see.

Well I reckon you could say I’ve been slacking some the last 4 days. On Saturday I wasn’t feeling to good and only did 0.19 miles. I don’t really walk on Sunday but did manage 0.14. Then yesterday I was sorta kinda back up to par with 1.4 miles and 3241 steps and today I broke out the stationary bicycle pedal kinda thingy and did 1.7 miles and my phone said I did 3451 steps.

I had the peddle thing set at 5 out of 8 and it was just as good a leg muscle workout as actually walking. I did start huffing and puffing a bit but it shore beat 90 degrees and 76 percent humidity.

I’m not actually trying for all that much cardio (though there is some there) but to just keeping my muscles goin so they don’t atrophy quicker from non use. And I use 5 pound weights for my arms. May not sound like much but the way I do it 4 different ways with 4 sets each of 15 reps, but the time I’m done my arms definitely know they’ve had a workout.

Try stacking up your gold bars from one side of the vault to the other. Since your vault is air conditioned, it should give you a good cardio and you would still stay cool.

Well it’s a tad cooler (84) and overcast today, so no hot sun beatin down on my Redneck head. 76 percent humidity was bearable.

Did 2550 steps today which my way overly expensive iPhone 12 said was 1 mile. I feel good though.

Only got about a mile and a half in the last couple days, so nothing to really speak about.

But today after spending a couple hours at the range with my MP5 Clone I did a mile and a half walk this evening.
Feeling pretty good and as soon as I finish my cup of coffee I’m gonna break Sigrun down (Norse Mythological Valkyrie) and give her a good cleaning and lube.

Earlier Today it was 92 degrees with 92 percent humidity with a heat index of 110 they claimed.
At about 7:15 pm tonight it was about 87 degrees and 70 some percent humidity. Wasn’t all that bad walking. I got in 2773 steps at 1.2 miles. Tomorrow is Sunday and I’m gonna take a day off and HOPEFULLY hit it again Monday.
