What have Radagast & SO been doing?
Regular readers will notice that neither Radagast nor SO has apparently been doing much exercising in the last month. Part of this has been caused by both Radagast and SO being sick in the past few weeks. However, the larger cause of this is new work arrangements.
Radagast's SO has recently gotten a new job, and has been walking a mile each way to work and back (when not sick). This new job also includes a lot of walking, carrying, and lifting during the day.
Radagast has continued regular walking or bicycling to work (again, when not sick); Radagast has walked at least one day each week this month. Radagast has also done some post-worthy exercising this month, and just today back-posted a few items of note.
So, even though we haven't been doing strenuous video exercising every week, we've been keeping up the exercising in at least a limited fashion. Our primary problem has been time and desire; our schedules now no longer overlap nicely, and by the time we get home we're relatively wiped out. However, that's no long-term excuse, and we hope to get back to doing at least one exercise video each week, even if we're working.
