I dearly love 'Wandering Star', and I remember reading that he protested that he couldn't sing, but the director insisted that's how he wanted it. And it just twists my heart every time I watch/hear it. 'Course it doesn't hurt that I loved Lee Marvin & his deep growl of a voice. <3

Yeah, I always liked Lee Marvin, Nabucco was my late
DH favorite Opera and I have a music box with  songs from it. It holds a very special place in my heart.

5992 steps yesterday so I didn't get to 6K but close enough.  The good thing is that I felt better and am still managing to walk a bit more without help from my cane.  I do seem to tire a bit as the day goes on so I think I need to try to walk a bit more if I can.

Went for some road running with Sarge yesterday. We did this after a very very long time. Usually we leave the gym early when we do this, and then we run to a park which is like 2.5 kms away. This is where we part ways and go home. 
My life is based on a true story.

7211 steps yesterday.  I'm going to make it to 8K one of these days !  Probably not today though.  I'm a bit sore this morning but that may work itself out, just have to wait and see.  Longer days do help if I can stay with it.

I can't think of a better nap than to fall asleep in the recliner with a furry blanket :)

Did some uphill running on the treadmill with a minor incline. Not much, but enough to keep me sweating even after an hour. It is hot and sultry here.

How ever do you manage running when the weather is hot and sultry?  That seems like a most difficult task.  :(

Being born and brought up here, helps.   ;D

Back in the late 90s we were very enthusiastic forest goers. I traveled 1200 kms each year in May to help conduct the animal census. For a week the forests would be closed to everyone barring 5-6 of us non forest officials and about 20 staff members. Temperatures were around 47oC at the minimum during the day. The exercise involved a lot of walking up and down hill slopes and within dried river beds with only the drinking water that you could carry. There were no phones, no TV and no electricity. Those were the best days of my life. I think I got tempered there.

8,896 steps on Friday.  That included shopping and errands so I was surprised I didn't hit 10,000 steps at least.
