Fit and Strong

It's now July 2021 and it's time to check on my 2021 Fitbit goals halfway mark. At the end of last year, I decided to go for it and set my step goal for the year at 5 million steps. That's a lot if you ask me. It will be the most steps I've gotten in a single year since I started wearing a Fitbit many years ago. I was going to say that I'm not sure if I can accomplish this goal but then I remembered we're not supposed to say things like that. Instead, I must say, I will walk 5 million steps this year. 2021 Fitbit Goals Halfway Mark I checked in at the end of the first quarter of the year. At the end...

What's this about canine Couch to 5K? One of the reasons I got Penny, my crazy little Irish doodle, is that she's an athletic dog. My plan has always been to teach her to run with me. I decided the easiest way to accomplish that was to use the Couch to 5K app that I've used in the past. I don't know if there's actually a canine Couch to 5K app. I'm just using the one that I've used in the past. I waited until Penny was a year old to start to run with her. I gather it's important that her bones are fully grown or something like that before she runs for any distance. Since we're doing the run/walk plan with the Couch to...

Is it just me, or is getting harder to stay cool? It's been very hot outside and I've noticed my body isn't adjusted to the hot temperatures of summer yet! Too Hot to Handle My 22-mile bike ride this past weekend required two 24 oz water bottles, a scarf with pellets to soak in water to keep my neck cold and a large ice water from the restaurant at breakfast. Even so, according to my FitBit I had an hour and 23 minutes of peak heart rate, which by any of my standards is too much. Although I enjoyed breakfast in the middle of the ride, it pushed the second half of the ride later in the day and we didn't finish up until almost 1 in...
