Weekly Summary -- did 4.90 miles this week

Judy and I walked 4.90 miles this week (5 days). The temperature was in the 50s and 60s (F). A few people were out walking, but none of them (including us) wore face masks.  Judy later did some shopping and wore her face mask while shopping.

My temperature was several degrees (F) low immediately after my walk and one degree low at bed time.

My temperature is low

My wife, Judy, and I did a rest walk around the east loop for 0.62 miles. I measured my temperature after the walk and again before I went to bed, and the temp was low. I assume I don't have the coronavirus since one of the symptoms of the virus is a high temperature, although about half of the persons being tested positive for the virus don't have any of the known symptoms. I feel fine and am not tired or sluggish.

Summary of the week: 5 days walking and 5.04 miles

My wife, Judy, and I walked for 5 days and did a total of 5.04 miles. We did stop and talk with a neighbor, but we wore no masks and kept a distance of 6 feet or more between us and the neighbor.

My temperature

Today is a rest day, but I took my temperature. It is still low at 97.3 (F, under my tongue).

A bit of rain last night

The sidewalks were dry this morning when my wife, Judy, and I took our rest walk. There was a north wind blowing, not hard, but cold. I was glad to finish my walk and get inside my house. The air temperature was in the mid 40s (F). That temperature was warm during the winter but feels cold now. Tonight is forecast to be freezing cold.

Lots of face masks

After doing a rest walk in which I added to my distance, I went to the Riverton Hospital for a blood test, and everyone at the hospital had on a face mask. I wore one that Judy had made. The hospital had people at the door with a hand sanitizing substance and extra face masks to make sure newcomers didn't spread the virus.

Summary of the week: 5 days walking and 4.04 miles again

I walked 5 days this week (four days with Judy (my wife); she didn't go on Saturday for the long walk),  and I did 4.04 miles total for the week. I went out on Saturday morning for a long walk, because it was forecast to be raining during the late afternoon and evening. I'm still using the walker for stability, but since the walker isn't motorized, the walker doesn't help me with the distance. I am, though, able to walk faster because I'm not worried about falling down. Because I am going faster, my getting greater stability is worth the extra energy to push the walker around the neighborhood. The wind was blowing quite hard during the week, indicating a front is coming in.

I took my temperature when I got home, and it was low, only 90.7 (F). As I rested from the long walk, for the next couple of hours, my temperature increased until it was 97.7. I've always had a low temperature. The supposedly normal value is is 98.6 (F).

Utah is still getting more people each day who are contaminated with the Coronavirus, but the number of people dying because of the virus hasn't increased for several days (On Sunday, April 12, one more death was reported in Utah). Social distancing and the wearing of face masks seems to be helping keep the number of people low who are infected. I'm not wearing a face mask, because I usually don't pass others on the sidewalk. Once in a while I do pass others using the sidewalk, and they usually go into the street while passing me. Judy sees a lot of face masks when she is shopping at Costco and Walmart.

Summary of the week -- 5 days of walking

It was cold, but I did walk with Judy for 5 days this week. I did 4.04 miles. We had sunshine, but a cold wind was blowing, and the temperature was in the high 30s and low 40s (F). On Saturday, we went for a long walk between sessions of conference. The long walk took about an hour.

During the week there was an inch or so of snow on the lawns, but the sidewalks were clear, and the snow soon melted because the temperature was in the high 30s.
