#level-52-countdown — Public Fediverse posts

1 — Quadrupedal

That’s all folks! Thought it was fitting to end this series/countdown with a good QM session at my favorite tennis courts. Keep moving, friends :)

2 — Running

Gak. Slow. On the upside, feeling a little thinner. On the downside… running.

3 — Travel day

This was a long day, packed full of breaking down the campsite, driving, unpacking and cleanup at home. Simply no energy nor initiative to put in a real workout. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(Part 43 of 43 in series, Level 52 countdown)

No image taken. Lots of beach walked upon. I’m calling it a win.

4 — Beach three

No image taken. Lots of beach walked upon. I’m calling it a win.

5 — Beach too

Another walk down this beach. Tomorrow: part three I think.

6 — Beach

In addition to holding this chair down, walked an hour up and down the beach. Tomorrow: repeat workout.

7 — Walk

Amazing weather today. Still walking. The part I most dislike about doing these many-day activity challenges is taking a photo. Here’s a photo of the sheets I use to track activity and goals.

8 — Stiiiill walking

Frankly, if I just walked every day it’d probably be a win. :) Tomorrow: should probably include some actual running though.

09 — Walking

Still nursing my achilles from sprints. Really didn’t feel like I was running that hard… must have not warmed up sufficiently.

10 — Yard work

Solid couple of hours at my favorite local gym, Le Yard. I don’t “love” yard work, but I very much prefer this free gym membership to any other sort of “go and exercise.” Tomorrow: walking (still recovering achilles from sprints)

(Part 36 of 36 in series, Level 52 countdown)

I was reminded we have access to our school district’s track. 8 laps with 100m dashes. Unfortunately after 3 dashes one achilles’ tendon said ‘stop that’. But still, if that best, 6’32”-mile pace is right… I’m stunned!

Our nearby short, flat lollipop loop. Tomorrow: Discussion of running some dashes on the track.

3 miles out and back. Got a little cardio in on the steeper bits. Tomorrow: Running (probably?)

Walked to my fave cafe for lunch. I’m not sure I’ve every accurately tracked this walk before. I was thinking it was just short of 2 miles; apparently I’ve been underestimating. Regardless, happy to walk 4.5 miles to see familiar faces and have a yummy sandwich.

Back home to my usual flat lollipop loop. Little lighter, little faster than last time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Tomorrow: Bouldering at our local spot.

This is what my brain felt like after a long day of traveling. Solid workout in itself. So happy, and so lucky to have gotten this trip in! Tomorrow: Running back at home.

Final day before heading home. Found these two neat buildings; note the color of the glass windows on the left one. Tomorrow: A day of traveling.

This rather large tree (much too heavy for us to lift) had fallen onto the roof of this building. Took two us, and some Quadrupedal on a slippery roof, to get it trimmed, properly felled, and then off the roof without any damage. Tomorrow will be more walking in London.

Terrific first day of Rendezvous, was as much mental as physical. Saturday will be, no surprise, another day of parkour.

I love to stroll around, and did miles of wandering around London. Friday’s activity will be day one of Rendezvous.

Nothing crazy, but planning this yesterday enabled me to get this done this morning before I have to leave for the airport :) Tomorrow: Perambulation on a different continent.
