The rain let up and I’m up for my morning walk at 6:20. 🌧️

It was raining pretty hard at 5:30 so I delayed getting out of bed for a while but I’m moving forward. 13.9 miles walked on the rainy Saturday though I doubt I’ll make it that far today.

Good morning! Where did April go? I don’t know, I think I was too busy searching πŸ”Ž for Jesus on my own β›ͺ, playing that dirty old John Prine record, walking 🚢 and eating kale. πŸ₯¦ And watching as the wrinkles grew πŸ‘΄πŸ» as I lost the chubbiness.

Clouds, a few sprinkles and 49 degrees in Delmar for the morning walk. β˜” There is a southeast breeze at 5 mph. πŸƒ. The skies will clear tomorrow around 7 am. Just in time for the work week. 🏒

I’m out walking 🚢 at the park 🏞 trying to get as many steps in as possible early. I don’t know how much it is going to rain so it’s best to get in as many steps in as possible before it gets wetter out.
