Flexible Exercise Goals - Do What Works

I changed things around yesterday. The weatherman said it would reach 98, and I knew I didn't want to make an appointment to exercise during the heat of the day. My conflict is that I'm a morning person. It's the best time for me to write--my most creative. Now, it is also the best time to exercise, too. I decided to set my appointment for 10:00. That way I could get some writing done before I went out. It worked. 10:00 was much more pleasant...still hot, but a breeze that made it doable. I ran/walked intervals for two miles in 27:32 so I reached my goal to keep it below 15 minutes a mile. Stay flexible with your exercise goals so they can work for you and not against you.

Yesterday afternoon I had the grandkids, worked in the garden for about an hour-and-a-half, and have loads of tomatoes to deal with. The grandkids snacked on the okra so I don't have to do anything with that. After that we sat on the front porch and watched the hummingbirds feed at the feeder. I saw my first female...and she came back often. I'm hoping to get a photo to share with you all. I could sit there for hours...well, I've started making that part of my workday. I sit on the porch with my laptop and when I hear the hum of their wings I'm right there to see them. Very cool!
