Walking made me tired, but..

When we biked 5.8 miles and just after that walked 2.5 miles on last Friday, we felt happy to have done something that was a new challenge.  But the next day we were totally in pain and stayed at home all day.

So today we walked first and drank water, ate a boiled egg, then biked.  
We barely could pedal at the beginning after 2.2 miles walk, so later we had some sprints for short distances to make up the average speed.  Biked 5.7 miles, aver. 8.1mph.  It came out slower than Friday, 5.8 miles, aver. 8.7mph.
We both got really tired, even though we did it in the morning.

After we took a half hour nap, we felt better.  The pain is still with me though.
At least we might survive another heat wave a little easier this afternoon.

I hope I will find a better way or right way to walk, so I might be able to reduce pain afterwards. 😒

Hard to utilize new app

I thought that I did the same way as last time to turn it on, but there was no record!
Gosh, in spite of the long walking more than usual with my friend, no record to check afterwards.😖😂😒


At least I could take a nice blackberries photo.😍


I should walk again on the same route tomorrow.😠

Might continue with this app.

I've been thinking that we, especially me, need to walk more than bike.  But I love the speed and feeling way better for pedaling than footing.  Walking with my friend has been a great help.  I need to encourage myself to walk more.  And he found the app for walking for me!

Just after riding bicycle 5.8 miles, we went out for walking with this app.


I hope I can continue this new habit.  Afterwards we ate and had to take a nap.  My body was desperate for sleep.😉

Half Moon Bay Coastside Trail

To escape from another heat wave, we left in the morning for Half Moon Bay today.  
When we reached Venice Beach, it was foggy on the sea, on the hills.  We put thin jackets on.

From the parking lot we rode to the South first, and the trail was a very nice beginning so we had fun.
Then a challenging bumpy trail started, but I rode well for a while, 

and I got tired and gave up. 




We turned around and faced to the North. 



Going North was up slope, especially after passing Venice Beach.
We enjoyed all kinds of scenery along the trail.





We ate fish dishes at the Sushi Main Street for our lunch afterwards, which was tasty.  We walked on the street and bought fish and vegetable Sandwich at Fish 'n' Frites for our dinner. And picked some sweets at Moonside Bakery And Cafe.
And we came back happily.

My butt hurts, my hip joints hurt, and my small back hurts now.

Ho-o-o-t!!!!

We had nice weather a couple of days last week, then hot weather came back!
Last 4th of July he managed to bake pizza in the morning, and we bicycled for a while. 
 
And had a humble celebration with the special napkins which our friend gave us long time ago.

Since then we haven't had any exercise for two days; this morning when I just tried to hold my chin with my hand, my wrist snapped and hurt awfully.  I was frightened.  At almost the same time his shoulder snapped and hurt him.  OK.  We need to ride!
Once we started riding bicycles, we felt so good.  50 minutes later the temperature got up so much and the heat from the road really stung us, so we gave up and went back home.

It hit more than 100° F today.  Utilizing this heat I started drying our garden oranges in the cage from yesterday. 



It worked out very well.

Now it finally came down lower than 90F.  All orange slices must have been dried well.
