Two Thousand Minutes of Exercise
Estimated reading time: 1 minute, 14 seconds
Each month my Apple Watch provides me with an exercise challenge.
To begin 2023, the challenge was to exercise at least one hundred thirty-nine (139) minutes daily for fourteen days.
At the beginning of each month, I focus on achieving the goal sequentially instead of, for example, picking fourteen random days out of thirty-one.
With the help of temperatures that have been eleven degrees above “normal,” I earned the exercise badge today.
My exercise numbers are as follows:
Jan is with me with each step I take; I feel stronger, more focused, and energized.
I do wonder how professional athletes feel when they achieve a workout goal. Is it merely a checkbox, or is it simply one more day on the treadmill?
Today’s walk was thirty-three degrees colder than Fridays.
But I persisted despite the chill.
To celebrate the badge, I ordered new walking shoes!
Now, if only I could solve the fruit fly infestation.

Even though grief is currently the main focus of my life, I have found comfort in taking walks. Walking helps me to clear my mind, stay physically active, and feel connected to my loved ones. Each step brings me closer to Jan, the love of my life, and reminds me that love never dies; it can be reignited with every step we take.
