Continuing with the lunch time walk-run routine, sticking with a 3 mile route based on time constraints. Steadily increasing the proportion of run vs walk. Time down from about 50 min in April to about 40 now. Record is 38. Recently I added a weekend walk run on the roads if a hike is not possible. Really tough hills on another 3 mile route, out and back. Best time is 42 min to date. Having to force myself to remember that the objective is to achieve a high quality of life for a long time, and best not to get carried away. Knee pain is never far off and running is the genesis of it. With fall coming and darkness arriving earlier, I want to integrate some strength training. Feeling trim and fit but would like to regain strength and some muscle mass. The evening dilemma: work out, study Spanish or have another glass of wine? Can't let the grape win too often.
