Pre-op instructions said to take a brisk walk everyday so I went outside to walk again, this time to the park across the street. I initially had my mask in my pocket, but there were a lot of people out so I put it on after ~5 minutes. I ended up walking 1.1 miles at a pace of 23’31”. Not sure if that’s brisk enough but better than nothing.
I was surprised by the number of people in the park. There was probably ~40 people total, with one group having about 20 people. They were congregated around a few picnic tables, and no on had a mask on. Maybe they all live together (I doubt it). It seems crazy that with every hospital slammed by COVID, people are still gathering in large groups with no precautions. There were also many smaller groups without masks, as well as a bunch of kids on the playground set.
