I got a nice swim in today. What was your main exercise on this sunny Wednesday?

I am having my truck worked on today. A cam shaft sensor went out, so I had it replaced. I did cycle home from the fix-it place, which is only a mile or two away, and I will cycle over there now to pick it up.
But my main exercise today was swimming in our pool. My young friend is off in Europe, so I had to go it alone, but I got a few chapters of Testimony by Robbie Robertson read, and a few laps in. I'm hoping to have my girlish figure back by the end of the Summer. Heh.
What was your main exercise today?

@TheHorse I was a prolific goal-scorer in my youth so I still try to carry on in that vein. These days i let the young 'uns do most of the running and I just pop up, right place, right time, and stick it in the back of the net! Or over the crossbar. Or past the post. Or straight into the goalkeepers arms!!

With my innocent mind, and my focus as an athlete (however ancient), I would not have noticed the possible double-meaning. If you are chasing a small round ball around with young men, you are doing well. Do you let the younger men have the glory (scoring goals, etc.)? I tend to take a lot of walks or just get a single in softball. I let the younguns drive the ball and get triples and home runs.

I go shopping by bike today, and I think this is also a kind of exercise.

@TheHorse It's about ten minutes' ride. We have shared bikes here, which is very convenient.

@caopaopao How does that work? Here, we have to worry about bikes being stolen.

Wednesday I did some vacuuming and moved some stuff before the guys brought my new sofa in the house.

@TheHorse yes. I can't recline it all the way because my recliner is in the way, but that's ok.

I haven't swum in this summer yet as it is not so hot yet. I am afraid I will still feel a little cold when I am in the swimming pool. I know I am a little crazy
Today I mainly ride a bike. Since the sharing bikes are everywhere and it is very convenient for me to use it.

@TheHorse Not too far. Just 1km near our house. It's an uphill jog so it wakes me up.

@LeaPea2417 I may cycle a bit today before I head into Berkeley for errands there. Heck, I might hit the pool as well.

@TheHorse - I walked along Aliso Creek, which flows through our retirement community. It was very pleasant listening to the frogs and birds!

@TheHorse - When my 15 year-old grandson was about 12, I would take him to the creek whenever I babysat him. He loved to try to catch the frogs and catch tadpoles with his bare hands! That creek is a boy's paradise (boys of all ages! LOL).

Nothing unfortunately. I had planned to go to the gym for a 5 pm session but I woke up with my OTHER shoulder doing the same crap that the right one did a few months ago. I am beside myself. It took a cortisone shot to get my right shoulder in line. Seriously, though, how does one just WAKE UP with massive shoulder pain? I don't even have a good story to tell about hang-gliding or skateboarding or fighting off a mugger. Life after 40 sucks.

Small world. I am traveling on business using the company truck, but left MY truck at the shop on Monday before I left on Tuesday for some brakes. So, it's done, $300 later. As for my exercise? I am lifting 12 ounces hand to mouth if you know what I mean.

Swimming is a good form of exercise. I missed swimming.

Today I ran through raindrops. That was a good exercise, because it's been stifling here with the heat and humidity, so the rain was most welcome.

Walking. I swear I went up and down a flight of stairs 20 or more times. My hamstrings were sore last night. I cleaned off my deck and trimmed bushes, potted some plants.
