Did it! I walked almost 5 miles, and it felt great. I tried a different route today. It was flat, but the roads were busy, and some had barely a shoulder to walk on. My eyes focused on oncoming traffic. The walk felt longer than it was.
Pre-exercise BP 123/90 HR 66; post-exercise BP 121/90 HR 90
Average HR 120; maximum HR 149. I was in zone 2 or 3 88% of the walk.
Feels good to have exercise out of the way though I will do abdominals later. What do you do when you gotta go and there is no bathroom around? I held it.
What exercise did you do today?
Your eyes are “twinkling,” Angela! Good job!
Lol
Be careful out there Angela! Small can of mace or compact stun gun, be prepare!
Rudy, I was thinking about that on the walk. There was traffic but no one out. I think my phone is the greatest protection. But I have mace and use to have a bunch of stun guns.
It’s sad but I planned out what to do if a white person tried to run me over. I love walking and jogging outside. I am not gonna let them take that away from me too. What’s the point of life? To be a spectator or a victim of their cruelty. That’s not the life I want.
I walk at different times and have different routes. If I see a white man or boy, I walk on the opposite side, no matter how friendly or disarming they appear to be. I make sure they know I see them and I am watching. Finally, I smile no matter how I feel inside.
So far, people have been friendly. I haven’t met any Karens. I walk on the opposite side of the road of houses with Trump signs.
Hopefully the walking went well that day.
Hey, Curtis. Any day outside exercising is a wonderful day. Covid made me gain weight and now it’s making me appreciate exercise. I wasn’t always that excited about it.
Certainly sounds like it. It’s good how you’re able to have a positive activity going on by walking or running outside.
