I was going to go for a run in the park, but I wound up talking on the phone with my mom and walking instead. At first I felt a little guilty for not going hardcore, but it was a nice break!

Yesterday I tore down a wooden retainer wall and build up a new wall with garden stones. That was a good full body workout!

I hear you about the total body workout. I felt like I crossed trained at work today. Not only did I have 11,692 steps but I moved a ton! I actually pushed and pulled and loaded individually 128 bags at 16.6#. Another 24 @ 20#. Many various sizes as well. I was curious, so I calculated it. Over 2200 pounds!
I'm actually amazed I was able to do that. I wont be able to move and grove like that forever. I'll take it as I still can!

And..I did not break a nail! Lol.

It sounds like heaven! I need a trip to the beach, badly - although I'm in no kind of shape right now to appreciate it. So glad your self-PT is working well!

I start PT tomorrow and we'll see how that goes. I had about 60 steps today - three times to the bathroom and back to bed. I have high hopes of improving this quickly. I did start doing some ankle circles today that my doctor recommended to prevent blood clots.

Alright, She-Ra. You get 'em although I don't know who "'em" would be in this case. The wall or the stones? Either way, better you than me.

I've developed old lady feet. I even shuffle a little in the morning and late at night. So not sexy.

It's been same ole, same ole for me. Lots of steps. I did get in some manual cleaning and that will pick up as we go through summer but I have to say, I don't wanna. I have a bushy thing I called George. A week ago, George was still tiny and shriveled from winter. Today, he's about 3 feet tall and spreading his small branches out. I kid you not. He doubled in size in TWO DAYS.

So have all the weeds on my 2 acre property.

This summer will be the death of me, I suspect.

Sandy toes this morning, it was a good tide and I went out for a short walk for as long as my knee was OK with it. 5k steps on the beach, 10k-ish for the day.

11957 steps today vs 609 miles I'm driving tomorrow. I'm going to check on my Mom💝

I'm jealous over the sandy toes over there. In due time, I'll be posting the same stuff!

My physical therapist came today. We did all kinds of lower body exercises with me on the bed. No weight-bearing exercises yet - thank goodness. One exercise was to draw capital letters using my feet in the air. I laughed - it made me think of the old lesson of learning how to perform cunnilingus by making letters with your tongue. The PT guy probably thought I was nuts.

10,698 steps so far. I should be a little over 11,000 before bed.

My car is visiting the mechanic's garage, so I've been getting more exercise lately. Yesterday, because I missed the last bus home and because bus schedules run on weekend schedules, I walked about 5 extra miles on top of the 14821 steps I managed to log while spending the day at a nature type park. While at the park, listening to the river and watching kayakers practice on small rapids, a big beautiful Blue Heron swooped down from the tree canopy and wow, you couldn't even hear them swoosh through the air. I spilled my strawberry concoction I took to drink, trying to take a picture of it because it was SO huge, and majestic, and just so mysterious. I've never seen a Blue Heron as big as the one I saw yesterday.

I am not sure what I will do this summer, when it comes to my favorite activity: Swimming (or rather, floating while cloud watching). Even our own pools here at home are closed. Public pools are closed until further notice. So I'm glad I never made it over to the community center to buy a summer swim pass. But by late summer, there is a couple of opportunities to go to hot springs resorts, and maybe then, I'll get my pleasures by floating in a hot spring pool. Maybe.

Last week I managed to log all sorts of steps. I even managed to fall down my stairs and bang up both knees and hit my head and bruised my left side by my ribs. I'm glad I had a winter ski hat on and was bundled up, because it could have been entirely different. I'm glad I didn't break any bones. But my body is super sore, especially since I had to walk home after no buses were ever going to be able to take me home.

Here's to more Blue Heron's, floating in a pool - sometime this summer, and to my car being healed, so she's not having to visit the mechanics garage so often.

Oh, and as soon as the Rain season ends, I have plans to bicycle to work. I have finally mapped a route to work and it will take about 1.5 hours to do it, but I plan to start out with biking to work, one or two days a week, until I can do it daily, five days a week (that might be next summer).

I went for a really lovely run with my running buddy this morning! She's so motivating. Plus, we made it inadvertently longer because she lost her headband on the trail, so we retraced our steps to find it!

I'm getting ready to run a 5K with her in a couple weeks. I'm looking forward to it, but I don't think my time will be great because she's been training harder than I have. Oh, well!

Wow, I had the worst workout ever today lmao. I went running with my friend, but the air was all polluted from the smoke that's making its way from Arizona. (Sending love to all the Arizonans who have it worse.)

THEN, when we were working out in the park, this random couple stopped us to proselytize. They were like, "Don't have sex with men before marriage!" Firstly, I am a lesbian. Secondly, let's not try to regulate women's bodies lmaoooo. Then the guy started quizzing us on Bible verses. Fortunately my friend is semi-religious, so she took the lead. Meanwhile, I was looking for something hard to improvise as a weapon in case things got gnarly. Love that women can't even work out in peace without male incursion.

I am both creeped out and offended on your behalf.

I tend not to engage with people like that, but honestly, that usually just makes them angry. It takes me less energy to ignore people than to engage, though. When I used to ride the subway daily, these two little old ladies tried to make it really hard on me. They were always standing in the same place in the parking lot, and once they caught on that I would _not_ speak to them, no matter what they said, everyday they got their noses all up in the air and said things to other people walking by like, "She's so rude! Can you believe how rude she is?" They had a very self-involved perspective. LMAO!

Oh, and for thread compliance, I walked from the bathroom door to the end of my bed 10 times today! And I did my PT in bed. I am trying to take it easy on my feet, because about four days ago my gout worsened when I got too excited and did too much walking around.

Kätzchen has been walking every day, more than usual, because her car is visiting the mechanic's garage and won't be ready for more driving duties until way late next week.

The other day I logged 18K+ steps.
Today it was only 11K+ steps.

I may have bicycled a bit too, last weekend; and I plan to bicycle again this weekend too. It's the usual 13 mile loop I like to ride. It takes me a spell to do it because there are a couple three terribly steep hills and I have to walk my bicycle up the hill, every time. In some cases, as I return toward home, I actually don't have the usual braking system. The pedal brakes are all it has, so I do the sane thing and get off the bike and walk it down the hills.

Being tied up in a hospital is something I intend to never have occasion to do, so: Safety First <<<<---- that's my motto. LOL.

I do dream of having my own swimming pool, one day. Yep, yep.

I want to keep the social distancing thing going where it concerns swimming, too.

Stay safe everyone and here's me wishing you all a safe and happy weekend.

~K.

Wow, I have not exercised since 2/29/20. And today is 7/1/20. Incredible.

Being in NYC which is the epicenter of the pandemic in case you didn't get the memo, I have been completely inside since March, save for one brief walk, until today. Today I got my exercise groove on! And groove I did. I walked 13K steps, a bit over two hours. And I did 35 minutes of outdoor yoga, weightlifting, ab exercises, etc.

It was great. It felt like my brain was finally oxygenated. I've been busy literally almost every waking hour from mid-March through the end of June doing remote school social work. My principal worked me to the bone. Today is my first day of school being out!

I did everything in Riverside Park. I brought something to put down on the grass and weights. Instead of the gym ceiling, I stared at clouds and blue sky, and the moon, and fire flies, and planes overhead. I did it!

On Friday we are going on vacation, driving to a beach house for a week (the queer / lesbian part of Fire Island: Cherry Grove). When we go, I will adapt to the beach, and for Thursday and probably Friday morning, I'll use the park.

I missed the AC at the gym but I sure did enjoy being out in nature, especially after being inside all this time.

Yay to the Cherry Grove vacay! A change of scenery does wonders for our well being. Enjoy. And....suncreen!

Good for you, girly! I'm in a similar boat in terms of enjoyable exercise or chosen exercise might be a better description since I don't really like to sweat at all but it's necessary. I've been physical at work. Many days quite a bit but it hasn't done anything for me emotionally or psychologically like a good chosen workout does.

My gym is appointment only now, of course, and because the gym suspended payments for everyone for those months, I can't get an appointment until my next monthly charge.

When I want to workout, I can't do it the way I want, and when I don't want to, there is a plethora of options. I'm pretty sure Murphy controls my life.

Enjoy your vacation!

I walked 10K in Riverside Park tonight. It's very populated where I walk which is nice for evening walking, and lit.

My favorite part of walking when it is hot and humid is getting back home and having cold water.

Went on a four hour walk in the neighborhood (11K steps so far), while listening to a looped version of Madcon's "Don't Worry Bout a Thing" and took some pictures of the beautiful flowers I saw on my walk out in nature today.

Going for a long bicycle journey tomorrow (got my day pack packed already).

I might get a few more steps in today before sundown.

I've been continuing my goal of 10K per day of walking (using my iphone to count). My last post was on 7/2/20. So here's my catching up information:

7/3, 7/4: 10K
7/5: 11K
7/6: 12K
7/7, 7/8, 7/9, 7/10: 10K
7/11: 12K
7/12: 13K

I was at the beach on Fire Island for a week, so I walked on the sand barefoot during that time, and also barefoot on the wooden paths. I think I set off an old injury in my left foot (a fracture of the sesamoid bone). It's been acting up lately. It could be just from all the walking but was probably from walking so much barefoot on the wooden paths. It felt good at the time but probably was too much. The sesamoid bone is what pushes down against the ground if you are wearing a high heeled shoe. When I originally injured this bone 20 years ago, I used to wear high heels a lot and lived in a 4th floor walk-up apt and the pressure likely built up. My foot doctor told me at that time that some women refused to stop wearing high heels every day and so he would give them expensive injections regularly to plump up that part of the foot. Crazy. Anyway, I think I may at least go to a shoe store and get some new shoes. I haven't been in any store in NYC since before the pandemic. I will wear a high quality mask and glasses.

I have been walking at a slow pace, generally walking 5 miles in 2.5 hours (2mph). I walk in the park on shaded paths and then on the way home I walk by the river which gives a little bit of a breeze. I take a lot of photos.

I wonder if my bone was affected by walking on the sand. I walked on the packed sand by the water (and again - this was walking for several hours). Maybe I should wear shoes if I'm doing my walk on the beach?

Editing for clarity: I myself rarely wear high heels since that injury 20 years ago.
