Hi everyone! I got to Nick's last night and Derek flew in this morning. We then went to the Dallas World Aquarium which is very cool. But, this area is just not for me. Saturday traffic late afternoon yesterday was so crazy and I don't want to know what a week day is like. Tomorrow we are planning to go to the zoo in Waco, but they along with 3 other TX zoos got the bomb threat call today. So, we'll want to verify that they will be open as it's a 1 1/2 hour drive.
I did do Live Fight for Awareness this morning which is part kickboxing and part no gloves drills. Got in a fair amount of steps at the aquarium, but because I was carrying something my arm was getting used enough to count steps.

We did a park walk this morning, 1 hr 20 minutes. way busier than a week ago although not many walking. still, we have to skirt around the campground so lots of barking dogs, screaming kids and smoke and generators. lots of birds in the mostly quiet rest of the park.
gotta say ive not been to texas but no desire to even visit. all big cities are not my favorite places anymore. seattle is bad enough and at least its not so blasted hot. traffic. and more traffic. congestion. just generally unpleasant.

Yesterday I did 70 minutes of Peloton rides and some PT work. Today I did a 45-minute Peloton ride, a 20-minute walk and 20 minutes of stretching.
Carolyn-Great job with Jane Adams Gentle Yoga. The Farmer's Market sounds nice.
Cathy-I'm glad you made it to Nick's. Great job with Live Fight For Awareness. That's scary about the bomb threats at the zoos.
Valerie-Great job with your park walk.

Today I did Jessica Smith’s Pyramid Power Walk. That was 30 minutes, 172 calories burned, average heart rate 117, and maximum heart rate 155.
Valerie, nice job with the park walk. We lived in Texas for 7 years and I loved it there. Today’s Texas is very different from what it was in the early 80’s. I’m really glad that we didn’t retire there as we had planned.
Judy, great job with the Peloton rides, PT work, 20 minute walk, and stretching.
Cathy, I hope that you get to visit the Waco Zoo. We lived in central Texas near Waco and in San Antonio. I like those areas much more than Dallas.

Carolyn, I'm a heat wimp. i start having issues as it gets close to 80 degrees. totally weather driven! but politics has been a factor too. ive been thru Dallas/Fort Worth but thats a long time ago.
we rode the trail this morning. it was lovely. hardly anyone there. sunny mild lots of birds singing. no great wildlife finds but a total delight. its gotten more pleasant as people have gone back to work and the weekday population drops off. usual 15 miles. 1 hr 20 minutes.
