Thursday, July 29 - Rainbow's Consecutive Days of Fitness Day 463
running: too hot + 100% humiity = day off
push/pull/press/plank: took my father to an appointment with his physician = ~ 10 minutes of pushing a heavy guy in a heavy electric wheelchair. (The chair has powered attendant controls now. But the attendant joystick is hypersensitive. I find it much easier to simply push the chair in tight indoor spaces, and safer to push it in traffic.)
yoga: ran out of time to do any yoga

60 Days of Cardio - Day 26
Ankle Recovery
Wrist Pain
Hand Tendons

Aren't they such beautiful creatures, NancyTree ?
Here is a video about a bird remarkable not so much for its looks (although I think these birds are visually striking too, in their own way) but its sounds:
The variety of adaptations life has developed for surviving and thriving on planet Earth is truly remarkable!Comment
