6-16-18 (Saturday) Hiking/Walking.

Saturday is normally an off day, but my daughter had the Field Hockey Division Championships to determine who goes to Nationals this weekend so my wife and I went up to cheer for her and her team.  Because of our religious beliefs, however, my daughter didn't play in the Saturday games.  Instead, we had a private worship service and then went on a nature hike.  The hotel where my daughter was staying was situated on a lake in front, and mountains behind.  We walked around the lake, then hiked up into the mountains.  We were outside for a little over four hours.  Nature was beautiful.  I was carrying my 1.7-liter water bottle and my backpack which weighs close to 7 kgs the whole time.  It was a very good incidental workout.  I didn't have my HRM with me, but the health/step tracker on my phone says we went over 6 km.  It felt like a lot more.  It was a great day, and I think I got a good deep tan.

A little word about Sunday (17th) and Monday (18th).  My daughter played the final game on Sunday, but unfortunately, they couldn't win their game, falling 0-1.  If they had held the tie, they would have made the cut, but it wasn't meant to be.  We rode a charter bus back home and made it in record time.  I was thinking I could do a workout when we got home, but I sort of fell half-asleep on the bus and my head was shaking.  The shaking ended up making me dizzy so when I got home, I was feeling terrible.  So I didn't do anything, just relaxed and tried not to move my head.  And the following Monday, I had the night class so no workout then either.
