They put so much spandex in jeans now that I can just exercise in my jeans!It's got a lot more spandex than I'm used to and I don't know how I feel about that.

It’s a thought, but I’d have to stroll and I’m not sure I’m capable of that! I have long legs, a Type A personality, and not a lot of patience. I’ve always walked really fast, even when I didn’t have to. You should see me walking through an airport! Used to drive my short mom crazy.Can you walk in the house like I do? You'd be surprised how much space there is. I walk in and out of all the bedrooms, then around the cat room, down the hallways, around living room, around kitchen, and back again. I could use the cellar too, but I don't want the cats down there.
My mother was always like that...except shes short. I remember trying to keep up with her as a kid. I always felt like I was running!It’s a thought, but I’d have to stroll and I’m not sure I’m capable of that! I have long legs, a Type A personality, and not a lot of patience.

In the 50s and the wind was really cold. I hate wearing a coat, so I just came inside. I'm going to try layering 2 long sleeve shirts and see if that is warm enough.How cold was it? Usually I warm up after a bit but if its windy sometimes I go for my raincoat/windbreaker.
Those shots of the sky are amazing! What fascinating cloud formations!The weather is just perfect here. September to November is the best season in Japan.
I stared with an hour of yoga then went horse riding yesterday. Here are a few pictures.
Riding past a cabbage field with Mount Fuji in the distance.

These big UFO shaped clouds are a sign that autumn is here.

Susuki grass. Some of these were over our heads, even on horse back.

I wonder if any gyms are hosting senior and at risk hours. I know the stores that are have been doing it early in the morning. But many people go to the gym before work (not this ) so that might not work for them. Mid day might work.Yikes. My arthritic foot which has done amazingly well through months of outdoor walking took a turn yesterday and now I am hobbling around the house. If it continues I may have to go back to a gym to use an elliptical. A scary thought but so is going without exercise.
Worth checking into. The good thing is that I have Silver Sneakers through my health insurance. That lets me use a huge number of gyms at no cost or commitment, so I can check out all of them to see which has the healthiest set up.I wonder if any gyms are hosting senior and at risk hours.

My neighbor said she went back to taking a class indoors and they are all spread out much farther than the recommendations so she felt safe. Of course she is about 23/24 by my guess. Another friend takes combat fitness classes and they’ve been using the parking lot when they can. But otherwise its limited who can be there so they maintain good distance. She had weight loss surgery a couple years ago so its really important to keep herself moving.
Oh that sounds great! I know pre-pandemic my FIL was using the university’s fitness center through a special program and talked about the air filtration they had. I bet others will try to advertise that at some point. Some teachers were raising funds to buy air purifiers for their classrooms and my kids dentist has one over every chair too.Worth checking into.
