A Day of Exercise: Swam, Walked, Started to run!

On Saturday, March 6, 2010, I began my day early. I woke up, logged onto SQPN Connect, and then watched the live recording of Catholic Weekend!

Then, the afternoon approached and my exercise began! In the afternoon--between 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.-- I had my Special Olympics swim practice and same a whole bunch of 200 yards freestyle and whole bunch of 50 yards backstroke.

Then, after my mom and I went to a trail a bit of a distance away (don't ask me while we had to drive a distance) and I walked about a mile or so.

Then, once I got home and dinner wasn't ready to eat yet, I decided to do a "surprise-sneaky" thing and that was to walk 2 miles to this Ballydoyle Irish Pub & Restaurant, where my mom and a friend (who's name is similar to that of what you call the place where you have to go and release some bodily functions). After I had a sip (and I repeat, just a sip) of this red wine called "Malbec." While I was in the pub, I recorded a little bit of audio on my digital voice recorder, so who knows if that'll make the "bloopers" at the end of my podcast, perhaps not.

Then, I walked home, well I half ran a little bit and walked a little bit--which was another 2 miles. The reason for starting to run is thanks to the "Heathly Catholic" encouragement from Fr. Roderick!

So, in total I walked a total of 4 miles before dinner and a total of at least 5 miles on Saturday, March 6, 2010.

EXERCISE DAY - SATURDAY MARCH 6, 2010

1 Mile Swim Achieved!

Hello healthy fit bloggers,

I would like to just share with you that this evening I swam ONE MILE! As far as I can recall, this is the farthest distance that I swam. It took me about 1 hour and 10 minutes (or so) to swim this one mile. I encourage you all to swim to a mile, or if you have swim more. That's it for now, I"ll update you all when I get a chance.

Happy Swimming,

Daniel

A Day of Exercise: Walk, Swim, Walk some more!

Hello followers of my health n' fitness blog, 

It's been a while since I posted here, and so I decided to update you all today because today I exercised a lot!  Here's a rundown of my exercise schedule today:

late morning-- around 11:45am to 12:30pm:  I walked for about 45 minutes today in Downers Grove around my mom's apartment.  When I walked I listened to some podcasts-- Busted Halo Cas episode #190 (Busted Halo Cast) Busted Halo Show with Fr. Dave Dwyer episode "Is God Mean?" (Busted Halo Show with Father Dave Dwyer), and half of Fr. Barron's Word On Fire sermon 428- Fourth Sunday of Lent-"Reading the signs of the times" (Word On Fire). 

early afternoon-- 1-2pm: I went to my Special Olympics Seaspar Swim Practice. 

midafternoon-- about 3:30 to 4:30pm: I walked again-- in Downers Grove by some tennis court, where my mom and a friend played tennis and I walked.  When I walked I listened to some more podcasts-- finished listening to Fr. Barron's Word On Fire sermon 428- Fourth Sunday of Lent-"Reading the signs of the times" (Word On Fire).  Then, I listened to the latest episode of The Saint Cast#118, Fr. Jim Martin on "Who Cares about the saints". (The Saint Cast)  

Here is my motivation to walk-- in brief:  I can listen, or catch up, on listening to PODCASTS.  

If you would like to great podcasts to listen to, visit www.sqpn.com.

Well, that's about it for now.  I'll try to update you again the next time that I've got a lot of health n' fitness to journal about. 

Stay fit,

Daniel
