What's It All About?

Follow me, or better yet join me as I journey into my sixties... enjoying my grandchildren... trying to stay healthy and fit... maybe some traveling and whatever else tickles my fancy.

Foggy Morning

Well I thought I was going for a ride today, but I didn't. When I was coming home from work it was real foggy out, not sunny like the forecast had said. I even came upon a cyclist on the road that I didn't see until I was almost right up on him... he was far enough to the right that I wasn't even close to him, but it still seemed kind of dangerous to be out there.

Strange thing... when I was leaving my job, there was frost on my car windows that I had to scrape off... and I look around and out of the dozens of cars around me, mine was the only one with frost on it, hmmmmm. Somebody's trying to tell me something. I don't think my seals around the windows are airtight anymore... I should check the sunroof, maybe that's it.

Oh well, instead of riding I did my Card Deck work-out... that's where I assign an exercise to each suit, today I did Push-Ups (Hearts), Chin-Ups (Clubs), Bicycle Crunches (Diamonds) & Burpees (Spades) and I also added extra values to the face cards... Jacks were 11 reps, Queens were 12 reps, Kings were 13 reps and Aces were 15 reps, just to make it a little tougher. So you turn the cards over one at a time and do the exercise and number of reps that that card represents. So a Queen of Hearts would be 12 Push-Ups, a 5 of Clubs would be 5 Chin-Ups, and so on... Try it, it'll wear you out, especially if you get 2 or 3 high cards for the same exercise in a row.
