    Your step counts are very impressive. Obviously due to your career, but still great.

    One and a half hour late start due to overnight rain. Thought I'd squeeze in a workout before work.

    F22 apps W8D2 complete.

    • 121 Sit-ups,
    • 80 Squats,
    • 9 Full Squat, Bicep Curl, Shoulder Press with 30 lb Dumbbells (W2D2)

      After a week and a half break, the push-ups and sit-ups were challenging.

    Another late start today. Can't mow with frost on the ground. Afraid I slept in an extra hour today rather than add an extra workout. ;)

    Post-retirement job in commercial lawn maintenance.

    Mowing with combination of zero-turn riders, walk-behinds, and push mowers. Then string trimmer and edger. Finally clean-up with backpack blowers. I'm foreman of a three man crew, but we rotate duties. 25 to 40 yards a day. Steps add up. :p

    I'll post today's numbers in the morning. Won't be as high as we got rained out at 2 pm.

    Nice! 40 yards per day seem like a lot. How many hours per day do you work in post-retirement? :smiley:
