Jiminy crickets 2 1/2 miles.
Although I’m not going to give you credit for your restaurant menu choices I must give you credit for your walking. Excellent job but I think I would wait for one of those hurricanes to come along and blow me back home.
I feel so old and decrepit compared to you as far as our walking goes, you have me beat hands-down but I'm going to catch up and surpass you. But that’s what happens when you read a sedimentary lifestyle for too long. I only walked a mile and a half today but wondered if I was going to make it home before I crash landed in someone’s yard. I can't believe I use just to swim 5 miles a day and walk at least 10 miles after I couldn't swim anymore.
Have you been to any restaurants recently? It's probably best if I don’t know but my curiosity is winning out over my good sense. I often think about what undigestible concoction you chokeded down. I know I will regret finding out what it was but at least my curiosity will be satisfied.
Suppose to be 108° tomorrow.
it was a mild 106° today. Once it hits 110° or more it gets a bit toasty although I did once pruner ladys hedge when it was 112° but better that than snow, ice and subzero temperatures plus unimaginable wind chill temperatures that some here endure.

I think a mile and a half is great and don’t dwell on what you used to do. Those are hot temps to be walking in. I never swam 1 mile much less 5 miles and have only been this active since I retired 8 years ago. Like everyone I have up and down days. What I like about my new Galaxy watch active is the reminder to get up and move or stretch at a predetermined time intervals that you can select. It’s currently set for 2 hours…originally preset at every 50 minutes which was so annoying. But I do listen…it’s like a personal trainer and a little animated person appears saying “That’s Great” when you’re done.
I have only had “normal” food at the few restaurants I have been to since my birthday dinner but I will let you know after Fathers Day Brunch. Don’t know where we are going yet but I have a yen for Escargot. I do pick up a 1/4 lb of chopped seasoned ahi tuna at Sprouts when they have it. Did I ever tell you of the time I had mashed sheep’s brains? Thought it was mashed potatoes….tasty. People I was with told me to order this strange sounding dish without letting me know what it was….so I did.
Not a bad walk this morning and I managed to do the 2.5….there are days I only do 2 because of the humidity. Met up with some runners and walkers part way so it made the walk go by faster but I was starting to drip swift when I came through the gate.
Keep moving throughout the day even if it is only a stroll into the dungeon and back to the chair.
