Pretty good these days. I biked 45 minutes straight on the machine two days ago, and another hour yesterday before heading to swimming practice. I’m trying to snag the fall colors before they disappear.

 

How have you been? Have you managed to unpack everything yet?

I jogged about two and a half miles yesterday, it's the first time in several weeks because I hurt my foot I was letting it heal. It felt pretty good. 

 

I was just moving a truck load at a time. I got most of the heavy stuff like the refrigerator washer and dryer and bed. 

Unfortunately they're still doing some foundation work in the back two bedrooms, but they should be done today and I should be able to get all the rest of my stuff moved in. 

 

Are there any good bike trails near you?

after that weirdly bad motivation depressive episode ~a week ago I started exercising more by chaining our mini-cardio sessions (usually jumping jacks, sometimes jump rope instead if needed, like when right out of bed) by going our normal amount (until it gets really uncomfortable, 'cus that's when our heartrate is maxed), then stretching for a minute, and then doing it again (gotta go a bit less then though, like 80%)

 

and I actually noticed we could do 5 more jumping jacks than normal before reaching that really-uncomfortable point after just a couple days

 

guess you really do gotta push yourself to improve rather than doing the same thing over and over, since we've been at that same place for over a year (not that we thought that was bad, the goal is just to get regular heartrate-ups)

By yourself? You must be exhausted.

 

Do a room tour when you get the chance

There are some good streets to ride down that I'm just now finding out about. I guess you can call them trails, but if you're talking about nature trails, I've never really checked those out. I know they're around though, so it's hopefully only a matter of time before I end up wanting to get to them.

 

These back roads have actually been really useful in trying to navigate to different strip malls. There's a really good bubble tea place down south that looked like you could only get there with the main road, but I found a neighborhood on sunday that seamlessly links my usual route to that place.

Partially agree with this, but usually you want to get comfortable with going at a steady pace before going the full 100%. It's really enticing to go balls to the wall every chance you can get, but it's going to hurt a lot more if you don't worry about challenging yourself at first. Lock in the initial feeling of doing the activity, and then see what you can do with it after you get warmed up

 

I find it harder to sustain a habit if I'm always hard on myself. I think the common consensus is that harder work = faster work, and it's true, but people neglect that it's actually only ever a small percentage of the work they get to do. But that's what makes it feel so good. It feels special to finally muster the courage to sprint after all you've been doing is jogging.

I already told TB I would do a room tour for him, I'll invite you to the chat when I do. But if you're not around then I'll give you one.

*Flirtatiously bats eyelashes, fails spectacularly. 

I've never had bubble tea ringggg.

N... N... No way! *thinks to himself, while dramatically staring in a random direction* There's no way this guy is serious... I could've sworn he told me otherwise..
