I finally got the night’s sleep I was craving. After exiting the poker tournament early (16th place out of 30, don’t ask why), I went to bed at 11:00 and slept nearly 8 hours.
Before I went to bed, I stirred up some steel-cut oats with water, skim milk, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, dried fruit, and mashed banana and set the mixture on low in my slow cooker. When I woke up, there it was:

After that, I read the paper, worked the puzzles, and then geared up for a morning walk.
It’s Election Day, so I passed our voting precinct as I left the neighborhood. I’ll be back with Sarah this afternoon to cast my ballot.
It was a lovely day, 80 degrees and slightly breezy. I did the first two miles in less than 16 minutes a mile, and extended the walk a little further to 4.5 miles. I shaved my average time to 16:16!
The left quad felt okay today, and my feet were only a little tingly. I am a little worried about the extended sun exposure - I may need to buy a gallon of sunscreen at Sam’s Club and start using it.
I will soon see how the morning walk affects my personal training workout in about an hour, but so far I’m pleased with how I feel today.
