Work is exhausting. I have not been working out. On the bright side, I have been taking a 15-20 minute walk at lunch time almost every day. I have a mandatory 1 hour lunch and only need about 30 minutes to eat, so I walk before I eat. It’s warm. And walking it boring. But I have podcasts and 15 minutes is easy enough. -Amanda

Today I took a walk outside. I was going stir crazy, so I just walked. Outside. I was out for almost an hour in the sunshine. I only made it a mile and half-ish, but I stopped to do some yoga stretches in the park a couple times. I have this tendency to start my walk nice and leisurely-paced, then gradually speed up until I’m almost at a jog without realizing it, then I get slightly winded and sweaty and my giant hamstrings get all tight becuase I’m going faster than I meant to without warming up.

In honor of social distancing, Jenn and I did not go to the gym today. We both worked out separately at home. Amanda did a bunch of random stuff that she hopes equals a real workout. Throughout the day there were: - 30 goblet squats with a 10 lb medicine ball - About 10-15 really poorly done ‘push-ups’ - A 25 minute walk outside with the husband that went for right around a mile (very cold!

Turns out, it sucks to get sick. But recovery is good. - 1-ish mile walk - Some stretching - Some chatting :)

1 mile walk Half an hour of stretching We had a lively discussion around Amanda’s interview and the lecture I went to last night. I think I love these walks because of our discussions.

1 mile walk Half an hour of stretching We were going to discuss Amanda’s upcoming interview but chatted about everything else under the sun.

1 mile walk Half an hour of stretching I never thought I would get to the point where planking felt good, but here I am. I also need to remember to charge my wireless headphones before I go. The cord on my cheap headphones just gets in my way.
