The weather was pretty weird today. Temperatures have been pretty cold these past few days but it was really hot today. The high was 88°F and my dad almost turned on the air conditioning. I was going to take a walk but waited until 7:30pm when it was a bit cooler.
I tried to walk a bit faster today and ended up walking ~1.5 miles with a pace of 18’30”. The Apple Fitness app finally gave me credit on the green exercise ring, but only 15 minutes even though I walked for about 27 minutes. I am not exactly sure what counts as a “brisk” walk.
One of the goals I set for myself post-heart surgery was to run a 5K race in 2020. Unfortunately, the COVID pandemic hit and shut everything down. I also had some heart issues with a-fib and excess fluids in my chest. Now that I am feeling better post-transplant, I want to try for the same goal again. I downloaded the C25K app on my iPhone back then but deleted it mid-last year. I will download it again and try to follow the workouts. Gotta start somewhere.
