My most active day in weeks: June 29 2025

in Actifit9 days ago

I inadvertently took a little hiatus from my blog, due to a combination of being very busy and also having a hip flexor issue. But today was a great day!

I went out for a 20-mile bike ride in the afternoon, and then went walking with my husband after dinner.

It was the perfect summer day for cycling, after a terribly stormy night where my family and I had to take shelter in the basement due to tornado warnings.

I love those big puffy cumulus clouds!

Of course I was riding my bike, so I had to stop if I wanted to take photos. But now and then I captured a scene.

In this next photo, I was in the home stretch, and took a spin through my favorite park. But since we’ve had quite a bit of rain lately, the trail was flooded!

So I had to turn back get home a different way.

That was about it for bike ride pics. Here are a few from my later sunset walk with my husband.

Thank you for visiting!

Glad you and your family are safe, one of the benefits of having a full basement!👍
I had to look it up I could not remember what corner of the basement they recommend for safety….
GROK said any place away from windows, but particularly the north east corner of a basement!😇👍

Thank you for that helpful tip, @silvertop. Who knew??

Hopefully you’re having nicer weather now take care!😊

Love the pictures of the boats and water, very evocative.
Glad you're safe and sound and healed.

I'm on the edge of buying a bike, looking forward to some adventures.

Oh how fabulous is that? I hope you find one you love. I finally decided to go for an e-bike to preserve my knees going up hills!

With a 20 mile ride, sounds like your hip flexor issue is resolved!!! 🙂
