October 24th, 2022. three exercises daily

I skipped posting for several days.

On the 21st, I did whatever three exercises.

On the 22nd, Saturday, my family and I did a 3.2 mile hike with quite a bit of elevation change — one of my favorite hikes actually. Golden Gate Canyon State Park, raccoon trail.

The 23rd was chore day so I raked a shitload of leaves, mowed the lawn, blew out the sprinklers, and generally got the house ready for winter. Lots of bending down and standing and running back and forth up and down steps to turn on sprinkler zones and run back to check the pressure on the air compressor, and so on. I’m freaking beat from this weekend.

Today’s exercises were:

• 30 push-ups, one set
• Planks, three sets of 15 seconds (yes, I know this is pretty lightweight)
• Crunches, two sets of 15

I typically do these exercises in the evening and I should switch that to the morning because by doing it in the evening, all I’m doing is testing my willpower to stick to this. It’s so easy to sit down in front of the TV, or with a book / magazine and do nothing.

Still, I do it.

I want more hiking.
