Friday, it befell that the weather was unclement. This was just as well, as I needed to do some studying, but before I knew it the day had gone and I fell asleep. This made me all the more happy to have a bit of a walk on Saturday, though today again was mostly spent still. I travelled, though, which always has me weary if it is the early morning ferry.
I had some muscle pains, especially in my back, of the good kind, after the kayaking. I forgot to shower in cold water, of course...
But one must persevere. And I do like running, and I do dislike heavy boots on my feet if I have an alternative, so I strapped on my sandals and took a bag and jogged down to the nearest grocery store. It's not far, only about five minutes, but it lifted my spirits somewhat, and when I was going home I took a nice detour out on a gravel road winding across some fields. I felt much better for it. Unfortunately, we now turn to a rather darker part of the year, but this was enough to give me back a bit of energy.
Never turn down an opportunity for exercise! Is there an ordinary stair beside the escalator? Use it instead! And if there isn't, then walk up the escalator. When carrying grocery bags, one can use them for simple strengthening exercises, lifting and sinking them again - while walking. Or, jogging both here and there, for fun and profit. Walking an extra stop instead of riding the bus or train all the way: that is, if it isn't ridiculously far.
There are so many opportunities, and they all add together to form quite a nice habit.
