That's some serious elevation, Beau!

Years ago I did a climbing competition up at Snowbird, the elevation made a difference.
 
Wife and I have been doing evening walks. Neither of us has any desire for intense workouts but we decided just getting out and moving was a good idea.

Half hour walk a day is all you really need to do to significantly improve your health and increase your lifespan.:thumbup

What some of us do is way beyond just health.
 
Did basically same loop as a weekend before last
This time even with teammate joined for majority it was 20 minutes slower. He was setting pace up Tunitas. I was just fading, and after still had to ride back to South Bay.
Either having an off day or heat was getting to me. Went through five bottles of water and was still dehydrated a bit when I got home.
 
210 pushups at the office during the day.

1:45 in the pool.
80 laps
400 underwater punches
80 back flies
200 curls/tri’s

In Line at In & Out :laughing
 
I walk at the marina.. sea level.. not 9500 new suffering stuff. Not really feeling the motivation to do much.
I am eating a lot less.. since I'm not too active and that got weight down. Partly because I was baking for a while and lost interest to cook. I eat like crap. Trader Joe's soup mostly.

Bingo. I've been dealing with EBV/Chronic fatigue since the eighties. Once upon a time my idea of a fun weekend was an 18-22 mile crosscountry run with 2,000 feet of elevation change. I was invitational at the Dipsea and also did the double Dipsea. That all changed dramatically. I had to relearn work outs and set strict limits on myself. Too much and I'd end up totally exhausted for weeks. Eventually I found out that every workout, run or bike ride had to be accompanied with a fairly serious appraisal of how far I was going and how far I should go. Simply put, you can exercise yourself into illness.
 
Our "health" officer is a dipshit. That's all I got for my update.
 
Hair salons and gyms are supposed to open in the Santa Clara county today.

Berto, does that mean that your 'health' officer isn't allowing it to happen in Contra Costa County?

Kind of surprised considering cases have been spiking to twice what they were "at the height" previously. Although it's still in low hundreds. Seems like there is a very tight margin between yeah "it's spiking a bit" to "holy crap we are hitting thousands per day".

Contra Costa health services has been much more conservative about reopening than most places.
 
I want to go to my local gym which is a 5 minute walk from me, but on the other hand its located downstairs below level with only the front door providing fresh air access. Not sure how safe it could be.

With Planet Granite, the gym is pretty much empty, its spread out, good ventilation but I gotta make reservations and the drive is about 30 min one way.

I wonder if all of the chalk dust in the air has an impact on the virus.
