Yesterday was my weekly rest day, exercise-wise. Sort of. I ended up hitching my bike trailer up and going on a very long trip in search of goodies to forage. I was hoping to find at least a few hickory nuts, but no dice. What I did find was a full trailerload of black walnuts. They came home with me and half filled a marina cart, where they are soaking. I'm going to husk at least 100 a day until they are all husked. I need to find a good way to finish off the shells; maybe pressure washing. Then they'll get hung to dry and cure for a while. In any event, I burned around 3,800 calories yesterday, and that's without my app knowing I was towing an extra 50 pounds.
Today was the first day of 75 reps of strength training. Manageable, but not easy. I had a brick this morning, and didn't even bother showering afterwards. Because I biked 10-ish miles to another spot hoping for hickory nuts (struck out again), then biked 5 more miles to work. All told, I may break 4,000 calories today. I went on a bit of a walk after I came home. The bread factory near me has several sugar maples growing on their property, and I found some more in a public park. Makes me wonder about tapping them for syrup next year.
