Daily 1 Mile Walks
One walk out of pasture.
Rest of the month, pasture walks. No media. [Fitness Photography]
Monthly 5K Walk
Oak Mountain State Park
At the entrance to the park, I was surprised to discover that I qualified for the senior rate. I just don’t think in those terms yet.
If you walk from a beach to something called The Treetop Trail, ya gotta expect some terrain. The loop was up a steep road and back down the hill under the trees. The rest was in the open along the lake. In 2023, I did a 5K around the north & west sides of the same lake. This one was up & down east side. [Two New Places]
Swim
Check. No media. A matter of opportunity rather than of policy.
Currently up to 5 laps (1 lap = back & forth), Not huge but gotta start somewhere. Putting it here as a marker for future improvement.
Update. The case of the disappearing blog post. Brief double post. Fitness is the post you should be seeing today. State of the Blog was taken down & will reappear tomorrow.
Update on the update. The added case of the shifting paragraph. On Friday the 5th, the above update appeared at the head of the post. Moved once it became less relevant. When the Saturday post went up early, the email also went out early. For 24-ish hours the Saturday post existed as an email message but not as a post. Had to explain why.
Onwards!

Out and about is good. Swimming is, IMHO, the perfect exercise. 5 laps is a fine start. Good going!
