A final walk on the beach. The water was much nicer today.

In the sand.

Early - well not that early but early enough that there were few people sitting on the beach that I had to go around - morning walk in the deep sand. It was already hot by 8am.

some yoga stretches, pushups and ab work

Another walk on the beach. Could feel it in my lower calves.

Some yoga, pushups and ab work.

And an adventure. I went out on the deck (I'm at my sister's beach house for a few days) and the sliding door managed to lock itself behind me. I have no idea how that happened and I have not been able to duplicate it. But it did happen. And all the other downstairs doors (and windows) were locked. And my cell phone was in the house and I don't know my sister's number or anyone's for that matter - they're just all stored in the phone. There is a code to the garage and a spare key in the garage, but they recently changed the code and I hadn't memorized the new one and I couldn't call anyone to get the code because I didn't know anyone's number.

I knew the upstairs balcony had a door that was unlocked so I went next door and borrowed a step ladder from the neighbors. It wasn't a particularly tall ladder - just a normal size one that open up into an A shape - maybe 8 ft. By standing on the very top I could grab the railings on the balcony and get my foot up on the edge - maybe chest high or so. Glad I've been doing yoga and pushups - I was able to pull myself up and stand up and flop over the railing. Whew.

On the beach; bare feet. Good calf and ankle workout!

Somehow, getting all hot and sweaty on the beach doesn't seem nearly as bad as at home. And a big bonus is no bugs!

Some yoga to stretch out a bit and some pushups and ab work.
