Thanks again to Elisabeth for organizing!
Not a lot of strictly walking this week, but there was movement….
Monday 10/6-
-20 minutes yoga
-Walk kids from parking lot on the trail to school, then ran six times around the middle school track and then to my car. I’m trying a new running plan on my Runkeeper app. Pretty sure it’s AI generated.
Tuesday 10/7:
-20 minute Yoga
-bike to meet a friend for lunch (15 minutes each way). I’d never biked to that part of town before. It was a lot more uphill than I had expected. But then the downhills were exhilarating.
-Walked from home to pick up kids from bus stop. Let them play by the creek before walking home.
Wednesday 10/8:
-20 min yoga
– Bike to run errands (15 mins either way). There are no pictures of me biking because it is hard to take pictures while riding a bike.
-Walk to pick up the kids from the bus stop, 15 minutes at the park, then walk home.
Thursday 10/9 –
-20 min yoga
-30 minute run after dropping the kids at the school bus. It was chilly, but got it done. The leaves are starting to change colour and I love it. It seems the world is supersaturated with colour this week.
-Walk to metro to go to work, then the reverse. I debated as to whether to count this or not because it’s really a short walk on either end. Moreso since I discovered that if I cut through two parking lots to get to work, it takes me just five minutes to walk from the Metro to my office. Home to the metro is about 7 minutes (more, if the traffic light is being slow). So all told, the commute to work is 12 minutes of walking, broken up by a 5 minute metro ride. So I guess that’s 24 minutes of walking total when I commute via metro. So I’m counting it.
Friday 10/10
-10 minute yoga
-30 minute run/bike/scooter with the two little kids in the morning before school. The kids pointed out the very visible moon to me on the way home:
-Walk with friend along trail- we walked from the bus stop to breakfast and then back. (15 minutes each way)
-Walk them metro to work and back home again after work. The sky and clouds were amazing as I was leaving my office:
Saturday 10/11:
-45 minute tap dance class with the 6 year old.
Sunday 10/12:
-15 minute yoga in the morning
-45 minutes ice skating. Went to public skate with the kids. The rink was having an open house for various skating activities, and I tried to convince them to try speedskating, but they were uninterested.
-20 minute yoga in the evening. I did two yoga sessions today because I missed yesterday.
That’s week two! Hope everyone is having good bouts of meaningful movement.
How is your commute? What colours are you seeing on your walks?
