Temperatures were only in the upper 80s F today, but I had the afternoon off, so I decided to take a swim.
It was good.
I brought the book I'm reading, got sweaty, and then did a few lazy laps.
It felt really refreshing.
Is exercise a part of your routine?
As the weather cools, I hope to get back into cycling.

@TheHorse More by time. At least 30 minutes in the morning and several at least 10 minutes during the day.

Yes, it is.. I exercise my brain every day. I don't want to lose the use of it when I reach 60 years old.

@TheHorse I'm glad to know your brain still seems to be working... It might be a tiny bit of a problem if it quit working.
I've started doing some odd things while typing lately. Sometimes I spell "the" backwards as well as a few other common words. I have no idea why, though. Of course, myLot highlights it when I do that so I catch it and correct it...

@DaddyEvil I do the same! But my most common error is typing what I'm thinking, not what I intended to write. Can I think of an example? I'm not sure. If I want to write, "The thistles were thorny," I might write, "The thorny." My brain is already on "thorny," but it does not recognize that I have not yet typed "thistles were." The common "th" is relevant. I make this error more often when the beginnings of the words involved are similar.

Exercise is not really a part of my routine. I only exercise whenever I have the time and energy

@freelancermariagrace Today I was a bit energized and took a short cycle.

You look a lot like Janet Leigh in that photo.
I took a nice walk today, which I’ll write about later.

You are lucky to be able to have a pool to swim in. I am a poorer swimmer and always enjoyed swimming in pools because there was a side with less water. I mostly only exercise my arms and hands on the keyboard.

I hate exercise for its own sake, so I have to say that no I don't routinely 'exercise' in a gym or suchlike. I do cycle around town a lot, three times this week I've been out on various errands which must total about 25 miles (the little mileometer on my bike has stopped working, which is very annoying ) and each time I have pushed my bicycle over the enormous railway bridge on the way home which must count as resistance training!
But I do enjoy swimming and I try various different strokes for each lap so it isn't so boring.

I'm unable to exercise. I'm glad you can cycle, hike and swim.

I walk for exercise, not as much as I need to I’m afraid.
