We had a pair of red foxes hanging out in the yard a few mornings ago. They spent several minutes grooming, licking each other's ears. Very cute.

Wow, how's it been a month since I posted about #fitness? I'm still getting it done.
Wed - kettlebells, walk
Thur - indoor bike
Fri - kettlebells, walk
Sat - outdoor bike
Today - a 3mi walk, part neighborhood, part woods hike. My motivation was helped by the #garmin badge.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Yarn-bombing is thought to have originated in Texas USA, instigated by clothes-shop owner Magda Sayeg and a group known as Knitta Please, who began the "knit graffiti" movement to brighten up public spaces as a form of street art #Womensart

This is SO FUCKING COOL!!!! Read the 🧵!!!!
Domesticated animals have pulled our heavy carts and turned our large mills for centuries. But what about the opposite end of the spectrum—what if the wheel you want to turn is so small you can’t see it?
Turns out we can harness the power of bacteria to power the world’s smallest machines.

Today's #fitness was AMRAP 25 minutes of:
Snatch x 4
Windmill x 4
Clean x 4
Squat x 4
Left, then right, 30lb.
After really not feeling it last #kettlebell day, this one was pretty good.

I caught sight of some Ruddy Turnstones on their south migration this morning. It was fun seeing them after having learned about them in May during their northern trip.

Today's #fitness was 16 miles of #cycling, mostly at a fairly relaxed pace with a few spots of effort. It was a bit winder and I needed some recovery.

Absolutely glorious weather yesterday! We took the day off work and went for a long ride, interspersed with walking through the Irish Festival and classic cars on the boardwalk.

Today's #fitness was 20 min of EMOM two-handed #kettlebell swings 12 x 35lb
That was hard and made for a pretty cool HR chart.
Happy to have day 2 of 4 on this week's plan accomplished.

Yesterday, I had a visit from an Eastern Wood-Pewee. He perched, sang, and made bug hunting flights in a low tree for 15 minutes. Usually, when I see them here, they are very high up, and it's hard to get photos.

I'm still struggling with fitting #kettlebells into my weekly routine the 4x that my current plan calls for. I got it done today, though.

Today's #fitness was 20 minutes of EMOM two handed #kettlebell swings x 10 with the 35lb for 7000 lbs total volume.
I'm working around a tweak knee that yells at me for a few days every time I run. Keeping moving anyway.

20 minutes of EMOM swings with the 35lb kettlebell. #garmin still won't show the muscle map for me. It's only the Share feature where it's missing. The regular screen is fine.

I'm patting myself on the back for doing meal prep before work today, not something I usually do. Second time I've made this one, very yummy. Chicken, beans, veg with Greek yogurt for the creamy base - all healthy goodness.

I don't know what's wrong with #garmin sharing that it's lost the muscle group colors. That's annoying.
Today's #fitness is #kettlebell but I might bop around on my bike a bit too. I decided to jump from my 25 to 30lb and it definitely felt more than 20% harder.
