weekly blog #3

    It's been a while! While I went on plenty of bike rides in July and went to the gym about 3 days a week. I started August off with a bike ride. Then I got my 2nd covid shot and didn't do much excerise for a week for the second and third week of August I made it to the gym 3 to 4 days a week.  Last week I was feeling a little down and only made it twice. So far this week I have made it twice.

    Recently  I have started trying to write in my journal almost every day. I write about what article I have read in the paper and the National Geographic Magazine. I will also write about when I go to the gym and where I am at in what ever book I am currently reading.  

  I managed to read two whole books in August. I also managed to finally finish my story about Briar and submitted it for publication.  It is helping me write more of my stories.

  A story that I read recently that really stuck to me was an article about the oceanographer Ballard who discovered the Titanic. After reading about him I watched a documentary on the Titanic.

 Well hopefully I can start getting back on track with these weekly blogs. Tomorrow is a new month and fall is around the corner.

See you next week I hope. Here are some August photos.

Today I had had off , spent the morning cleaning, gave some books to a local Little free Library, went to the bank, got some tea at Starbucks then went off for a bit of walk, got some groceries, did some laundry and I only got 9251 steps in.

So my Goal is to get 10000 or more steps in a day (preferably more) I made that goal 4 out 7 days this week. 

I have tomorrow Off as well and am planning on the Gym tomorrow Morning with a walk after.

A typical Gym session for me is 1hour since that is all that is allowed at this time. I will do about 10 to 15 minutes of weight machines, then a 10 to 20 Minute workout without weights on one of my exercise apps as well as jumping rope and the usually the elliptical, sometimes the bike, sometimes the treadmill. for 15 to 30 minutes.

I am trying to do a bit more trail walking so that its not so bad on the feet after. I have plantar fasciitis .

My current Read is Blood Work by Michael Connelly I am in the middle of the book and so far so good.

let me know if you have any walking tips for plantar.

Thanks for reading this weeks Blog. let me know what you think so far.
