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.
