Partway back to status quo ante prior to tweaking my ankle. [Bored]
Lots of walking. Getting back on bicycle. OTOH, have not tried Tai Chi yet. So many of the moves involve standing in one place and twisting. I’m probably fine, but keep finding reasons to delay it.
Places are walks, one mile unless noted.

Data Dump
Walking – 21 days
Biking – 4 days
Riding – 3 lessons & 2 horses shows, which do not preclude exercise but tend to wear me out. Lesson more than horse show. Usually wired after a show.
Nothing – 5 days, ’tis the season of afternoon thunderstorms.
Doubles – 5 days, one-mile stroll secondary to bike or riding.
Onwards!

Very impressive!
Not only the walking but the energy to find the place, drive there, walk and drive home.
Good work!
What she said. Also: what is UAB? Enjoyed the photos.
Used to do Tai Chi all the time when I had a working DVD player (working on that). Even with all my spine problems, nothing caused any pain. Try Tai Chi for beginners, movements are even more gentle. If I can find my DVD, I’ll send you the name. I tried a couple of tapes and this one worked best for me.
Word Press still won’t let me give you a like, and puts my comments under anonymous.
I may have fixed it…just saying…don’t want to jinx it….
As far as effort, I try to combine walks with other activities. For example, both UAB walks were after annual doc check ups. I will take a bow for working hard to find new places to walk when I go on these other activities.
UAB fixed. UAB = The University of Alabama at Birmingham
