Tuesday, August 1: August started well with 10 street kilometers and a late-night weights and cardio workout: chest, shoulders, triceps, traps, sides, and abs. The cardio session was a steep 13-minutes. (Cumulative Total: 13)
Wednesday, August 2: Just a decent amount of walking today. Approx 10 kilometers, and it was hot.
Thursday, August 3: No gym because of work and the heat, but 11 street kilometers sufficed.
Friday, August 4: I walked 11.5 street kilometers and also completed an evening workout: back, lats, biceps, core, and a 15-minute cardio session. (Cumulative Total: 28)
Saturday, August 5: An early morning cardio session before a long and busy day that involved about 10 street kilometers if my app measured my steps accurately. I think it kind of did. (Cumulative Total: 44)
Sunday, August 6: About 11 street kilometers in the later afternoon and evening.
Monday, August 7: No gym again, but I completed around 10 street kilometers.
Tuesday, August 8: Back in my favorite gym for weights (chest, shoulders, triceps, traps, and core). I ended with a wee 10-minute treadmill session. I also walked a total of 9.5 kilometers throughout the day and night. (Cumulative Total: 54)
Wednesday, August 9: A decent legs workout was followed by a steep 13-minute treadmill session. I also walked about 9 kilometers throughout the day. It all adds up – I think. (Cumulative Total: 67)
Thursday, August 10: No gym, and a pretty awful nutrition day, but I did at least walk around 9.5 kilomters. I’m getting real good at walking.
Friday, August 11: No gym for this the last day of work for a few weeks, but I did manage to walk around 9 kilometers throughout the course of the day.
Saturday, August 12: A weights session on another hot day: back, lats, biceps, and core. The cardio session was another short and steep one – 13 whole minutes. (Cumulative Total: 80)
Sunday, August 13: Another 10 kilometers walking around on my way to and from places for various reasons. A lot of that walking was just killing time waiting for my flight home.
Monday, August 14: Weights: chest, shoulders, triceps, and abs plus another short and steep cardio session which lasted a total of 13 minutes. (Cumulative Total: 93)
Tuesday, August 15: A 14-minute morning cardio session because that’s all I had time for. (Cumulative Total: 107)
Wednesday, August 16: I walked approximately 14.5 kilometers according to my iPhone, and that sounds about right.
Thursday, August 17: Weights in the evening: lats, back, biceps, and core. A 16-minute steep treadmill session followed. (Cumulative Total: 123)
Friday, August 18: A legs workout was followed by 17 steep treadmill minutes. (Cumulative Total: 140)
Saturday, August 19: Thirty-seven morning treadmill minutes started the day and weekend. It felt good to complete a longer session, and I think the toenail problem that saw me cut back on the treadmill has been resolved. (Cumulative Total: 177)
Sunday, August 20: I walked around 13 kilometers, but yesterday’s buffet lunch probably set me back a few weeks.
Monday, August 21: I walked around 16 kilometers and did some weights in the late afternoon: chest, shoulders, triceps, traps, core, and a bit of legs.
Tuesday, August 22: I went for a swim today (1,050 meters) for perhaps the first time since moving from Daegu to Seoul five years ago. I should get back into the habit.
Wednesday, August 23: About 10 kilometers of walking.
Thursday, August 24: Approximately 11 kilometers of walking and listening to music.
Friday, August 25: Just a little bit of walking today, but not enough to count as exercise. I decided against a gym session. It was after all, my last day in Australia for a while. My return flight leaves tonight.
Saturday, August 26: I walked around 9.5 kilometers after arriving back in Korea in the late afternoon.
Sunday, August 27: No gym visit, but I walked a little over 17 kilometers today.
Monday, August 28: More walking while listening to the music of Bear McCreary. Just over 11 kilometers, and now I’m itching to return to the gym. I should also finally get myself to a swimming pool either Thursday or Friday morning.
Tuesday, August 29: Well, I didn’t make it to the gym, but I walked approx. 14.5 kilometers. A much-needed evening nap killed any chance of a gym visit. Tomorrow for sure.
Wednesday, August 30: I walked just over 20 kilometers, and I went to the gym: sides, abs, lower back, biceps, lats, back, calves, and 12 steep treadmill minutes. (Cumulative Total: 189)
Thursday, August 31: Another 2o-kilometer walk around the streets of Seoul.
