Stocking up on exercise
Jul. 31st, 2022 11:56 amI'm getting on an airplane on Tuesday to go see my parents. Nothing special, just been a while, and my mother has a dentist appointment where we are going to discuss extractions and so forth and I thought maybe I should be there, and we arranged her neurologist appointment to also be in that same week, although not as close to the dentist as I would've liked, so I will be gone an extra couple of days over what I normally am. Arrival back in Boston the following Wednesday. Sort of. I suppose 11:55 PM is still Wednesday. Although I will not be in my bed until Thursday.
I got disgusted at car rental prices, so the plan is for my stepfather to pick me up at the airport, and part way through the stay I will pick up a Turo car in Chico, and then he will bring me back to the airport will after releasing the Turo car. This is saving me $600.
As a result, I didn't do any organizing of Bay Area socializing at one or the other ends of the trip. It really annoys me that there is no Sacramento airport bus to Chico. There is a bus from the Amtrak station to Chico, which isn't near the airport, but you can only take that if you are also taking a train trip. Which I suppose could be possible, because one could go to Oakland on Amtrak. The timing might terrible.
Anyway, back to the exercise: I'm going to miss out on Lake activities during my trip, so I made sure that I got some this weekend. The weather cooperated. We had very nice wind yesterday and I got some windsurfing runs, and then we had no wind this morning, and so I got two waterski runs. "One for this weekend and one for next." Then, I hopped on my bicycle and went 16 miles today, and 17 yesterday. If nothing goes horribly wrong, I am well-suited for my goal of 2000 miles by the end of the year. I just rolled over 1300 today.
There will be some exercise in Chico, but it will mostly be walking, and it will be limited to before 9 AM. I might get a swim in some afternoon.
