I did check my pulse during yesterday's Indoor Mile. It didn't change to a slower rate. Breathing is easier but I have to say, I'm happy not to have to push myself more. I feel better during the first part and when I can stop but the last half isn't what I consider fun. Probably, with this attitude regarding a little 30 minute walk, I was never destined to be very fit or lean.
And, 30 minutes it is. It's not a penny counting exercise. If 30 minutes at any heart rate above 84 is supposed to be good for me and above 100 is supposed to exercise my cardiovascular system, then 30 minutes it is!
Unless, I'm outdoors. There is something to see outdoors. Changing scenery. On the 2 miles outdoors, a couple hours after the Indoor Mile, I even spoke to some people. Said hello to a young lady photographing her bright, red car at the park.
I thought of stopping to take a picture of the bark of one of the sycamore trees but she made me self-conscious ... She has a new car. I've got a tree in the park! Besides, we never stopped moving over the 2 miles and covered the distance in 50 minutes!
What I noticed in my fence building, beyond the blister and sore wrist from running the manual screwdriver, was that I'm not used to stretching. This was my customary exercise when Miranda was still on the teevee every morning. After several winters of experience, I do know the stretching exercises. Motivation to do them is needed. They certainly make me feel better ... maybe I could do 10 minutes before the Indoor Mile ... or, before heading out the door to see one neighborhood or another ... or, anything else out there.
