I had to make a decision today. Go for a walk, or sweep the long driveway and pull a few weeds plus pick up some pine cones to dry out for fire starters. I chose the second option. By the time I was done, over two hours had passed and my knee was absolutely screaming! But driveway is clean, a few weeds were pulled and some pine cones have been collected. Tomorrow I will try for a walk and pulling some weeds, see how far I get! Felt good to be out in the sun.

Good gracious Ginger since your so energetic and into this walking blarney you can take a walk for me.
Happy trails,
Jake
Ginger, what you did was exercise, just a different form. Congratulations on a job well done!
@gingerw As @1065408 commented, that certainly was exercise, probably more than if you had walked. My husband and I took a walk again today, the temperature was around 52° so it was pleasant. I felt I needed more exercise though so I did some exercises that I had gotten during my last PT sessions that are good for core and balance, and then did 20 minutes on my bike tonight. I hope tomorrow my bursitis doesn't flare. If it doesn't I will know that I can do at least that much.

Wow! You are inspiring! Yesterday the sun was out and I had some good walking done. Today the sun went into hiding and it's cold and damp. Rain on its way. I will have to put some warm clothes on and go for a walk soon. I only have a small patio, it would only 5 minutes for me to sweep it. I love gardening but now I have succulents...save water and hardly need any fussing. I do have a couple of plumeria from Hawaii but now they are dormant. My one pot of clivia did bloom which brightens up my day.
