I've been driving more recently. I suppose that's good for the van, as it needs exercise and some certainty that the starter and engine are in good shape. Since it's not getting any warmer, this is going to be an ongoing issue.
Lets do a blow by blow. Today has just started. We can assume that I'll do all the right things. Wednesday I hibernated, but managed to drag myself to the Y. My Y sessions have gotten shorter, with most of the weight lifting falling by the wayside. Most of the session is devoted to stretching and ab/back strength. Way back when I moved near the Y, under the assumption that I may work anywhere, but would always want to be near the Y. After the Y, I drove to the Fire Roast. It turns out I could have biked. The cold wasn't excessive, and I could have left the mando at home or strapped it to the rack, an operation that can be a bit of pain, but that's the price we pay. Tuesday I saw the dentist up north by 694. I had been biking there. It's an hour plus, but almost all bike path. But as I said, I've been driving more. After chess class, which I also drove to, I stopped by the midtown farmers market, the last Tuesday one. Combining errands is all the rage nowadays, and not a bad idea. I cooked more green things than I could eat, froze a little, and fed the neighbors.
Sometime this week, I forget when, I walked to the wedge once, and around the neighborhood some.
Saturday I went to yoga at the Y, where we had a substitute teacher who had us hold downward facing dog longer than usual. I sure had sore calves the next day. After that I biked to St. Paul. That was nice. Sunday I biked back to Minneapolis, and it rained. I got wet, but not being made of brown sugar, did not melt.
I chatted food and fitness with a slew of people over the week, many of whom said they would post their thoughts. Yay.
