Easier pace today, and after yesterday's encounter I decided to carry my weasel-scope just in case. Actually pretty comfortable as its about the same size and weight as the GPS which I've been carrying in my hand on most trail runs lately. Don't normally need it, but on those days I opt to venture off trail or wander down some untrodden route, it (the GPS, not the weasel-scope) gives me a pretty good idea of how far I've gone.

Did the loop CCW rather than CW today, plus added a another internal trail loop for extra distance and fisher spotting opportunities. Saw three blue-hairs walking by the pond, but that was about it for excitement today....

I can't really tolerate exercises like situps, yoga etc without getting nauseous. Pretty much anything where my head moves through varying orientation. But my abdominal region is a tad out of proportion to where I'd like it to be and I'd pretty much given up on situps to work my abs when it occurred to me that I could lie flat on my back and lift my legs instead of my torso (and head) and still get the same benefit.

So I did a series of 10 - lift my legs to about 45 degrees and hold for 10 seconds, slowly lower and rest 10 seconds, repeat 10 times. Really felt it in my lower back and abs so maybe its worth doing. Will try to do these daily and slowly increase the reps...

Another 10 before bed...
