53 degrees this morning, walk 34:25 minutes Not sure about walking this morning, I apparently have a “common cold”, which hopefully means it will be over in 7 days. Fortunately my walk didn’t affect it at all and may have even made it better.  Still seemed cool for 53 degrees, although the wind wasn’t all … More 2018 Spring April 24 Tuesday

45 degrees this morning. No walk Didn’t walk this morning, scheduled for a medical test. I’m not supposed to eat or drink six hours before the test, which makes it difficult to exercise. Just saw a quote that said, “when you can’t achieve the goals, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps”.  Attributed to … More 2018 Spring April 23 Monday

45 degrees this morning, no walk (rain and wind) Rained all day yesterday,  wet this morning, some sprinkles, windy.    Have gone to the gym the last two days and “stationary bicycled”, which gives me some exercise plus I am preparing for returning to regular bicycling.   We have had some bad experiences with AAA … More 2018 Spring April 22 Sunday

2018 Spring April 21 Saturday 53 degrees this morning, no walk (rain) Light rain this money, turning heavier.   Probably will finish watching “The Sopranos” this week.  I don’t know how long I have been watching them on a sporadic basis (normally about 1/2 hour and occasionally an hour at a time).   In a … More 2018 Spring April 21 Saturday

I have to agree with the statement that “these are the times that try our souls” in regard to the weather.  (Also with apologies to Thomas Paine!).   The continuing cool weather into April and even May is always frustrating as I wait for Summer to arrive.  I have found that normally  the weather is … More 2018 Spring Apr 20, Friday

45 degrees this morning, 34:18 minute walk Certainly felt like 45 degrees this morning.  Hard time deciding how to dress for the walk, fortunately guessed about right.  After having 80 degree weather, it seemed cold. Pace was six seconds faster than my goal.  While it has been relatively minor, I am glad to see the … More 2018 Spring April 19 Thursday

65 degrees this morning, walk 34:05 minutes  Again a “cool” 65 degrees during my walk.  I even wished I had bought along my gloves!   The wind really made a huge difference in making the 65 degrees much cooler.  I believe the wind was blowing at about 17 mph. It is strange the wind is … More 2018 Spring April 18 Wednesday

65 degrees this morning 34:17 minutes A “cool” 65 degrees this morning, some wind made it much cooler than the temperature indicated.   Pace was 22 seconds faster than the goal.  Bettering the goal has been a trend lately which is good.   Continuing to listen to the autobiography of U.S. Grant.  It is definitely … More 2018 Spring April 17 Tuesday

37 degrees this morning, walk 34:27 minutes Walk this morning was cool, but the wind has gone down considerable, which makes a big difference. Pace was 10 seconds below my goal.   The weather has really been crazy from the 80’s last week to 29 this weekend and now back to the 80’s.  I don’t … More 2018 Spring April 16 Monday

#MyJourney2018 30 degrees this morning (feels like 19), no walk Didn’t walk this morning due to wind and cold.  While I felt like walking, I decided it wasn’t worth it to take a chance on the cold (and more likely the wind) starting me coughing again.   Probably wouldn’t be any ill effects, and during … More 2018 Spring April 15 Tuesday
