Well, it was slated to rain (possibly), so I thought I ought to get my weekend exercise in this morning. So (relatively) soon after waking, I popped down to Rock Creek Park and went for another ramble. Two hours saw me clamber over about four miles, some of it flat and level but quite a lot of it rocky and fairly vertical (262 ft. of elevation gain along the course--really? it felt like more than that! :-)
This is part of my effort to get more exercise. I was impressed that something I read about George Washington mentioned he walked at least seven miles a day, in addition to a lot of riding &c. I'd have to work hard to get to seven miles a day (just for exercise, that is, in addtion to just normal walking about), but I'm starting by trying to do 7 miles a week. So far, by doing just under two miles three mornings a week (down to the end of our wee local park and back) and then a bit more on the weekend (3.3 miles last week, 4 this), I've managed to do this for at least two weeks. One swallow does not a summer make, and all that, but it's a start.
Now, off to shower, have some brunch, and do some chores.
