I got my Garmin's battery down to 5% today! While it lacks today's modern conveniences as it comes from the before times, its 2017-03-29 release must have ripped out and inserted the innards of the Energizer Bunny.

Encompassing all 2 hours and 40 minutes of The 16th Expedition: 20⚡25 playlist plus a featured song from summer 2023, today's workout was outstanding. I reference that fall 2020 playlist because of my flys. This morning, I chose to NOT modify the weights to my setlist for my dinged-for-a-couple-of-weeks forearm, but go with what is typed up.

I was regretting going big and was going to change during my flys when this song came on. "Nope, I am not changing a THING!" I even chose to ramp up the weight for next week for my incline DB press and close-grip press!

I love that playlist—it's my favorite for lifting weights and smashing the bag. While I took it for my 5-mile walk, I think I may prefer The 35th Expedition: The Call of the Wild for striding—though it's far too early to say that sort of thing!

All of this recent conditioning has been great to apply...YARD WORK. Yeah, it was the BEST temperature outside, 63℉, and I wanted to try out my new trimmer line for my weedwhacker. And as a portal to the upside down opened up next to my pool shed, it was time to start whacking.

So I did. All 10-11 feet of the line. Added another segment. Then I ran out of battery power, so I popped another in. From time to time, my forearm was like, "Hey, remember me?" "Nope." Finally, my right hand, which held the trigger-safety combo the whole time, caused my inner Scotty to exclaim, "I don't know how much longer I can hold her together!"

Still, I really like the upgrades to my stamina. I'm on the threshold of 20,000 steps for today, something that is becoming ordinary for me, whereas before December, only happened ONCE (May 5).
