Monday. I walked the east loop and then walked to the power box on 100th South for extra distance. I didn't check the temperature before I left or came back, but I was out about 9 am and back at 10:30 am. There was a slight south breeze blowing.
I didn't eat much last night, but I ate a big breakfast before I left. I was tired during the east loop, but I felt better during the extra distance; I was still tired though. I need to eat more for supper and less for breakfast.
I had been home for a few hours when we left for Springville and a birthday and anniversary dinner. The dinner was with Tova, our 4th child, and her family. Judy and I were married on her birthday on June 7, 1963. Today is Judy's 80th birthday and the start of our 58th year of marriage
Tuesday. I walked the east loop, taking only one short break of less than one minute at the end of Congressional street. I reached home but didn't stop for a break. I felt fine so I kept on walking up to the corner and back for a total distance of 1.025 miles. I felt pretty good when I got back home, so I guess that burger I had at about 6 pm last night served its purpose by giving me strength this morning. The burger was my way of participating in a family gathering, and it was my way of eating more for supper and less for breakfast.
There was a brisk south wind blowing during my walk. I didn't check the temperature when I left and returned, but it was probably in the 60s (F) or perhaps in the 70s. The temperature in the hallway of my home went up several degrees, indicating it was pretty warm outside. The AC and heater were off during this increase in hallway temperature.
Wednesday. I walked around the east loop, and I then went to the corner then turned right and went to the power box on 100th South for extra distance. I was out at 8:45 am. I didn't check the temperature when I left or when I got back, but it was probably in the 70s (F) or 80s. There was a 10-15 mph wind blowing with gusts at 25 mph. The forecast is for triple digits in the afternoon, and then a cold front for a day or two will come through with cooler temperatures.I had a good supper last night, but I had no breakfast before my walk. I felt pretty good during my walk, but I was a bit more tired than yesterday. I will do this same route and distance on Friday. Tomorrow and Saturday will be a shorter walk.
Thursday. I was out at 8:45 am and back at 10:00 am. The temperature was in the 60s (F) while I walked. There was a brisk north wind blowing, from 5 mph to about 25 mph. I had a good supper last night, but I didn't eat anything before I walked this morning. I didn't take any rest breaks during my walk around the east loop, but I rested a few minutes at home before I walked to the corner and back for extra distance. I took no rest breaks during the extra distance, and I felt pretty good when my walk was finished.
Friday. I was out walking about 8:40 I walked the east loop with no rest breaks. After a small break at home, I walked the additional distance to the power box on 100th South and back (0.6 miles). I enjoy the 0.1 mile stretch on 100th South, because it is almost all shade and nice to walk. Tomorrow is a short walk of 1.025 miles, and I think that next week I'll add a bit to my walking, both long and short walks.
I had a pretty good supper last night, including two cheese sandwiches, including chips, and a can of Chicken Noodle Soup. This food was consumed late at night, about an hour before I went to sleep.
Saturday. I walked around the east loop and walked to the corner and back for extra distance. Judy walked with me around the east loop but didn't do the extra distance with me.
My watch ran out of battery power. I thought I was getting up at 6 am, but in reality I got up at 9 am. I was pretty tired when I finished my walk. There was a slight south breeze blowing. I didn't keep track of times or temperatures, but it is getting warm again. I'm glad that tomorrow is a no-walk day; I need the rest of a no-walk day. Because tomorrow is the Sabbath day, I can forget about walking and devote my self to the church and to family.
So far this week, I have averaged a little over 1 mile per walk. I am ending this week in the 6+ range of miles, and the following week I should be in the 7+ range of miles, although I haven't calculated the distance I should do each day to reach 7 miles per week.
