The last two days I have only walked Hill F with the 7.5s. I've been doing yard work in the latter half of both days. It's a half acre, so, it takes me 2-3 days to mow and weed whack the entire thing. I've got the last third to do tomorrow. Today was awful. Sweat pouring off of me while working the hand mower. But damn, my yard looks nice.
Got some wild flower and sunflower seeds that I want to put in the tall grasses around the perimeter. Just before the tree line, there's some tall grass that I don't touch. Right now, they're just very plain grasses and fronds and those stupid thorny bushes(my mother says they're blackberry but really, I call them wicked queen bushes). I've done battle with them before and cut them back from the perimeter because when I'm passing by with the mower, the long branches touch me and the two inch fucking thorns GRAB my arm and YANK me backwards. The two that I have fought with have done it three times before I finally took the shears to them and I bled like crazy each time. ....anyway, wild flowers might do better as a border.
Yard work isn't as intensive as weight lifting but still counting it as exercise.
I have a secondary, secret goal. I aspire to be a tightrope walker. I'm working on it. Right now, I am doing balancing on one leg on the ground, trying to get a feel for my feet and how to problem solve staying balanced. I want to walking a beam of wood all of August. Like, as soon as we're in August, I want to be walking a beam of wood on the ground and practice that all month. Will set new goals once we get there.
