6:08 -It's Bix morning, and I used to run it every year. Now I haven't run the course in many years. I'm too fat and the knee has too much arthritis in it. Maybe some year at least one of those things will be different to let me give it a go again. Today? Good question...after getting a lot of things of the list done yesterday, I'm not sure what I'll do once I check on animals.
8:40 a.m. update - I finished my chores this morning, and I really don't have anything on "the list" that is pressing to finished. Right now, I'm going to go on a walk, but I'm waiting for my phone to charge. I think tonight we are going to have a backyard campfire, and I'm going to break out the tiki torches that we've had for probably 3 years, and I've never used. Plus I have some sticks I need to burn which will be a good fire starter. So I picked up some firewood at Shawn's when I was there. I'll start to make the campfire setup when I get back from my walk. Anyway, when I was in route to doing my chores, I had a chance just to relax and enjoy the drive down the back gravel roads and county blacktops. I know this sounds crazy, but the sights and sounds and smells of "country roads" are amazing...especially this time of the year with the corn tassels and the mowed hay and the weeds...it all just screams HOME!
10:18 a.m. update - I got a walk in...I'm calling it a hike according to my watch. This would be two days in a row of hiking for over an hour. Yesterday I was at Black Hawk Park, and today I just walked around town - both times with my nordic walking sticks. I want to weight myself tomorrow to get an update on weight. While walking I also listened to my intermittent fasting video blogs, and I was able to listen to several episodes. This is something I need to do because I have not been consistent with an intermittent fasting routine nor listening to episodes. I really need to get into a strength training routine, which is something that should be easy for me to do.
