Yesterday, we finally got a weekend day where we were both 1) home and 2) blessed with good weather. So, we planted a 15 by 6 foot garden, with peas (very late to be planting, not sure what will grow), sweet corn, carrots and zucchini. Took about 4 hours total to work the ground, including the mid-morning decision to go rent a tiller. We were both sore by the end of the day, but felt better today.
So . . . stepping up the activity a notch. There is a measured indoor walking track at my current client's facility. 8 tenths of a mile each way from my building to the far end of the complex. So I walked just over a mile and half at work today. Then after dinner I went around the block twice and the next block over once, chasing little boys on bikes. Probably 2 miles or less.
And to top it all off, this evening after the boys went to bed, I resumed push ups and sit ups. When I was 17, the wrestling coach expected us to do sets of "Twenty-five, twenty-five" which was 25 push ups and 25 sit ups in 60 seconds. We did no less than 8 of them each practice and some times as many as 16 sets. Wonder if he'd be proud of me doing 5 and 5 tonight. :-) Well, I'll work my way up.
As icing on the cake (so to speak -- both icing and cake are off limits) -- my wife also did 5 push ups and 5 sit ups.
