WALK, BIKE AND LIFT WEIGHTS

Although today marks my 54th Cycling-day-in-a-row, some of that cycling was done indoors on a recumbent trainer. Today was one of those days when we found it absolutely necessary to remain indoors because of time frames and other issues.

We had planned on driving the bikes to Markham Park for a twenty-something bike ride, but various issues came up that thwarted those plans, mainly lack of sleep on both our parts. (Shame on us for staying up late to watch the Olympics!) So admittedly, we slept latter than we normally sleep. In my book, that’s neither a sin nor a crime. We simply listened to our bodies and then responded by shutting off the alarm clock.

What I did was walk to the gym (1.05 miles), do a series of weight machines, jump on the recumbent for an easy 10-miler, and then walk back home (2.05 miles), taking the longer route that circles the shopping mall’s large tropical-adorned lake. By then it was a warm 87 degrees (96 degrees real-feel) with full sun shining down on us. I’m not complaining, just observing.
