Hi Gram,Today is sort of a down day/ slow day. We woke with the alarm and did a 3 mile walk this morning, but walked in the opposite direction. The path was nicer, the scenery was just as cool, we saw a sign warning us not to surrender in chess, and most importantly, the sun…

Hi Gram,Today was so packed with action, it felt like two or three days rolled into one. Despite doing so much, we never felt rushed or overwhelmed. It was just a smooth flowing day of one wonderful thing after another. I set my alarm last night for the first time in a few days, so…

Hi Gram,We had another great day today. After the travel yesterday, we didn’t set an alarm, choosing to sleep in as best we could. We still managed to get out of bed around 7:30 or 8, but it felt luxurious to wake up naturally and just lie in bed without obligation for a bit. Once…

Hi Gram,We made it to Bangkok last night and checked into a decent but cheap hotel. All of the movement and finding dinner kept us up late, so we slept in a little. The hotel advertised free breakfast, so we walked down to their attached restaurant only to find it empty and unused. I figured…

Hi Gram,Today was the last day in Hua Hin! I got up early and went for my morning walk, although I took a bit to get going so it was a shorter walk. For the past couple of months, I’ve been enjoying some awesome street art along my walks around town. I don’t know if it’s…

Hi Gram,I took it easy with my walk this morning. My legs are still hurting so I didn’t do any stairs, just walked a 4 mile loop on relatively flat ground. Nattiya didn’t join me, so I just listened to a podcast and cruised along. I got back earlier than usual – I think I…

Hi Gram,Today was our rest day at the gym, and I couldn’t be more grateful! I slept in as best as I could, then reluctantly got out of bed with my legs aching and the rest of my body aching too from sympathy. I lazed about for a few hours, did some research on travel…

Hi Gram,Man, have my legs been hurting the past few days! It all started on Thursday first thing in the morning. We did our usual morning walk which included lots of stairs. The Palapon group (my gym friends) caught up to us right at the start, then started to pass us. We would have none…

Hi Gram,Today was another wonderful day. I was sweating profusely during all of the classes, since the heat returned a few days ago and the humidity is somehow 114% (not really, but the air is damp). Today was our day of rest, so I only walked 3.5 miles and didn’t do any stairs. Then I…

Hi Gram,Nattiya and I had a good walk this morning. I tried to run up the stairs that are my challenge but I only got up 83 before I ran out of steam. My previous record was 88, so this was a step backwards for me. Regardless, I keep building muscle and cardio endurance. Life…
