The Mainers’ average home workouts are just 6 minutes long, according to I Run Far dot com. It’s a workout, not a makeup session. And we have gained an average of 15 pandemic pounds. It means some of us won less, and oh no, some of us won more.
As recently as yesterday morning, I contacted our Girl Scout to see if she had any cookies to sell. I have to be honest, if she tells me she does, anything I buy better ends up in the freezer, not in the cookie jar. Or better yet, someone else’s cookie jar.
The reason for the concern? Next week is my birthday (don’t ask), and it coincides with my annual checkup. I used to dread the annual check (insert the line on the check from the neck here). Now my mind is telling me that I am lucky to be so healthy even though I am getting older. Never anything wrong with me, I keep my fingers crossed to keep saying it after next week.
However, the visit comes with a bit of stress. Climbing this ladder is never fun. I grind my teeth. Even when I was very young and thin as a rail, I still weighed a lot. I was “big bones,” my mother used to say. Thank you mom for always having my back.
The timing of the end of the pandemic and a full return to returning to the outdoors and to the trails could not wait any longer. Who wants to start a friendly game, let’s go out and walk to an exercise club? And not for 6 minutes a day.
Be nice, doc. And let me invite you to Beats & Eats next weekend, that will be awesome.
