12-15-2023 Entry

Went for an hour-long walk in the morning, it was chilly but not as cold as previous days.  Then I swam for 2500 yds, following the normal protocol and doing 30/20/30/20 lengths.  I was slower, not sure why but perhaps in part because I kept losing track of how many lengths I had swum and probably added some additional ones.  Finished in about 57 min.

Later in the morning I had my annual physical with Dr Strouse.  All looked good, except my cholesterol and triglycerides were on the high side.  Looks like I'll have to cut out some of the dairy fats (less cheese and ice cream) and include more legumes in my diet.  I worked in the back yard in the afternoon, it was a nice day.  But there is a lot of work to do back there.  Need to get several of the beds weeded and ready for ground cloth before the winter rains.

I had thought about doing a short ride on this day, originally with Jhonar in the morning, but I feel like I am close enough to my annual mileage target goal, 5200 miles, that I should be able to make it fairly easily, assuming the weather holds out through the end of the year.
