Temperatures dropped overnight, meaning we could open the bedroom window… meaning I slept like a baby… or rather our kittycat, who can nod off anywhere for hours at the merest drop of a hat.
Short workout this morning in anticipation of a walk to the ball park later to see the Reds take on the Arizona D-Backs. It’s Votto’s big homecoming after his recent spell of being MIA, so it should be an electric night.
Decided to try and extend my time on the elliptical, raising the proverbial bar to 15 minutes – those meagre three extra minutes over my last attempt making far more of a difference than I could have imagined. My heart rate was elevated to 132, as if to prove the point!
I followed that with a gentle 6 miles on the recumbent bike and then headed home to spend 20 minutes standing in a cool drenching shower.
Music album of the morning was the reggae compilation “Ska Island“, Prince Buster’s “King of Kings” succeeding in being extra-inspirational as I plodded away on the elliptical.
Easy skanking indeed.
