In keeping with my Saturday commitment, I headed for the park early Sunday morning. Savannah met me with Copper for the hike, but I was doing the Survival Workout. And it was quite a workout. I’ve been doing some push-ups and dips here and there, but this was the first complete workout in several weeks. I didn’t hit the numbers I’m used to, but the effort was there – and so was that great ‘pump’ that comes from a tough weight workout afterwards. I headed for home around 9:30 a.m. with enough time to shower and make it to church. I alerted Savannah that this would be my new Sunday morning routine.
I did some yard work after church and began preparation for the Sunday family meal, but everything was designed to fit around my ‘double’. It was very windy and in the fifties, so when I suited up for a bike ride, I put on a long-sleeved t-shirt. I had less than two hours if I was to have dinner ready for everyone, so I rode my Waite Hill loop minus the climb over Mulberry and returned home with an hour to get things ready. I felt surprisingly good for back to back rides – the first since Tour Ohio last fall. I’ve got some catching up to do and I know the coming week will be filled with raking leaves and other tasks after work. The time is coming though when I will have the schedule cleared to work out every evening and I’m looking forward to that.
