Was under the weather with an infection the last while, but feeling back on my feet again.  Been out for 20-30 minutes of walking the last 4 days.  Hoping to keep this us this week. There are a lot of social events going on in our lives presently, so if I can do at least [...]

We have had relatively good weather this week in comparison to Claude who seems to have gotten our weather that came originally from the dark and damp Siberian coast (just kidding). My new insoles, while not perfect, do let me walk longer distances.
The Last Week

Well, I hope you have managed to each find your stolen moments of getting out into the fresh air. Luebeck is cold (14-16 degrees Celcius) and rainy, so I’ve taken to going out for a walk when the skies are relatively clear and returning or jumping onto a bus when it starts raining again. If [...]

Dear Ever Patient Elder Exercisers,
I am sorry for being remise in reporting my exercise routine of late. I’ve just come back from a two-week vacation. I have been trying out my new insoles and must say that they are not so bad at all.
My pedometer broke down. The forth in the last two years. I [...]

Claude asked if I am cyling indoors or out…. luckily, outdoors. Luebeck is a small city. Even though the car drivers assert their rights as “bigger and faster” people on the streets too often for my liking, it is perfectly safe to ride bicycles here.

So, your words spurred me on to getting the situation with the foot looked at.  I know what I have. Now I just have to figure out what to do about it.
After numerous doctor’s appointments and procedures…
Arthrosis of the ankle, fallen arch, and near stress-fractures on three bones in my foot
Nothing really pretty. And, it [...]

Dear All,
Just want to thank each and every one of you for your kind words of encouragement, as well as your stern reminders to get the situation with my foot looked after. So, I finally went to the doctor’s yesterday and back today and, undoubtedly, will also be going tomorrow.

Had quite a good week last week. I manged between 5,000 stepts and 7,000 steps for six days of the week. Then on Sunday, my daughter and I went to Hamburg to go to museums and our favourite Syrian restaurant. We walked a good Don’t quite know what happend, but my right foot (arch and [...]

A middling to mediocre week last week. I managed to walk between 5,000 and 6,000 steps Monday through to Saturday. Yesterday, I only walked 3,000 steps.
Monday has come and the weather is sunny outside. I’m off for y walk!

It does look as if we are finally getting out of our winter rut. I had a pretty good week:
Monday: 3000 steps
Tuesday: 8,300 steps
Wednesday: 6, 900 steps
Thursday: 5,200 steps
Friday. 5,400 steps
Saturday and Sunday: nada
I agree with Claude that it is a lot easier when the sun is out.
