I have the day off of work today but I still woke up nice and early (5:30 am) to do a little running and workout for FREE in the huge parkway by my apartment. My former self would have driven to the gym to use my now-cancelled gym membership and pay to take a group class! I kick myself for not realizing at that time that body squats, push-ups, burpees, sprints, running, etc are free and don't require a membership to do on my own!
Now I am just about to head off on my bike to help a nearby friend unload a king-sized mattress up to his two-story home. Then I plan to ride my bike to downtown Milwaukee this afternoon (about the same 7.5 mile distance it is for Hybrid to get to his downtown in Richmond :) ) to hang out at our annual FREE "Bastille Days" festival, which celebrates French, Cajun, and Creole heritage. There, I will enjoy FREE music, FREE entertainment, FREE laughs with friends. I may be a little bit un-mustachian and buy a beignet or some other unhealthy French pastry. But I don't splurge on that kind of thing often so I don't feel too guilty.
TGIF, everyone!
