Or not. I started juggling one pound weights because I can get my heart rate into swimming range without driving through highway construction. Then again, waiting behind the flagman may elevate my HR more than swimming or juggling. I juggled weights for about 20 minutes last night, not without drops. As weird as it sounds, I actually had a moment that reminded me of a really good trail run. Maybe it was the rhythmic motion or the “pounding” of the weights in my hands or my focus. Probably all those things.
I am not sure that my juggling muscles will be good for anything other than possibly lifting a beer bottle…which $deity knows is the last thing I need right now. Sure hope I don’t drop one of those weights on my foot. : )
The quote below is unrelated to juggling. : )
In addition to my recent keyboard layout change, I have been trying to improve my juggling skills since March. I’d say juggling, by itself, is around a 5 on my scale of difficulty. In the last couple of days I’ve started practicing while “watching the road” instead of the balls. I am hoping by the time I can run again I can try joggling a 5k.
