Exercising My Right

Exercise is done against one's wishes and maintained only because the alternative is worse. ~ George Sheehan

Ahoy, Matey!! This is my normal bike route, washed out still by the high river. I have been trying to do an hour loop but have not yet been able to do it. Probably just as well since, I am finding the short loop about the right exercise for now. I can do this loop in about 25 minutes.

I have been trying to get in shape for my cruise. First of all, to be able to do some hiking and kayaking when we are off the ship. Secondly, because I know that I will be tempted by a shipload of food, which is supposed to be amazing on this particular cruise line. I am hoping to get some dancing in on this trip. That might help.

I am not sure that I like to exercise. I wish it were more fun. I think I really need to find a walking partner, which would be simple in this neighbourhood. A friend down the back lane and I walked the loop a few times last year and we are way over due to start doing it this year. Sigh. The alternative to not exercising is definitely worse. I do like to cycle though and it clears my head. I just need to be more diligent about it.

What’s your favourite exercise?

Peace,
