Starting tomorrow, I have many appointments, and since it's going to rain, I worked out intensely today.

Woke up at 4:30 AM, meditated, then went out for a 5.5 km run, climbed a mountain, and upon coming down, I had walked 16,000 steps in the morning.

I walked 21,000 steps after taking my elderly dog to the hospital.

I took a nap for almost an hour, then went up the back mountain and did stair exercise, and I ended up walking 40,000 steps.

My goal this month is an average of 32,000 steps and 110 floors, but I think I'll be busy until Sunday starting tomorrow, so I did a little more exercise when I could.

It's not cold even early in the morning, so I run in short sleeves and sweat, which feels good. I feel a bit sad that the time is coming when it's becoming harder to exercise outside.

Exercising early in the morning seems to double the sense of achievement.

Getting morning sunlight is said to be beneficial for treating both insomnia and depression.
