Getting Started, State of the Fitness for February

Awareness of the outside world. “Anything worth doing, is worth doing poorly … until you can learn to do it well.” Zig Ziglar. Reminds me of Zen Pencil: Ira Glass’s Advice For Beginners. (Which I have mentioned a time or two. Search box says 7 posts, making this #8. A coincidence that I had a spot for the ZZ quote today, but turned out to be suitable. #howthesausageismade [Letter Art: Definitions])

Daily Walking

Walked every day, 28/28, with horses & without. All 1 mile except one short day when I walked Milton 3 laps (0.6 mile) while Rodney warmed up. [Rider Up]

Other Exercises

Swimming, check.
Tai Chi, check.
Stretching, check.

Let us not ask how many times I have performed these activities. I am at the stage where anything is better than nothing.

Other Walks, Monthly 5K

Moody Municipal Park, photo above. While the physical effort is no different, twice around a 1.5 loop is psychologically easier then 12 times around 1/4 mile track.

Strangely specific signage. What is wrong with sunflower seeds? In caps no less.

This was back when it was really cold. Figured I wasn’t going to get much else done that day, might as well go for my walk. [Turn Up The Heat]

Other Daily Walks

All one mile
