For last week I did:
Exercise #1: Friday, I went to the beach around 4, and then left at 5 when the Marine Layer started rolling in like the Independence Day alien spaceship to cover up the entire coast. I headed to the gym, where I ran for 20 minutes (1.2 miles, walking for some, but running at 5.5 mph for a good 15 minutes - somewhat of a record for me in recent years). Amazingly, I didn't get cramps, and my Achilles tendons didn't swell and ache, a sign that perhaps my consistent exercise is paying off.
Exercise #2: Saturday, while my hubby played tennis with a buddy, I went for a brisk 40 minute walk. That hill at the end is always a killer - I always run up it, and it's 30 seconds of pure exertion. I had Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" running through my head...
It was a pretty warm day, and along the way, I was compelled to rescue about four worms that were about to become crispy worms on the sidewalk. Do I get Good Samaritan points for that?
I sure he would have said "Thank You" if his head weren't already buried in the ground.
Then I promptly went home and washed off my worm hands.
