A Walk/Jog with a New Fitness Tracker and A New Album from Day Six!

Solitary League - Day Six

So last week I was searching on Amazon for fitness trackers. The main problem was that I wanted a tracker that had a heart rate monitor and didn’t cost an arm and a leg.

The other day I was listening on Spotify to Sound Coloring the latest release from the Progressive Rock band The Adekaem.

A Fine Day for A Great Run – Music by Karibow

A Fine Run Highlighted by a 9:52 Mile! – Yeah Me! – Life’s Little Victories!

Over the last few weeks I have been checking Weather.com’s rating for going for a run. Considering the conditions, clear skies, low temperature and humidity I figured it would be a high rating. It was 8 out of 10. That was slightly lower than I thought it would be, but still great. No excuses if today’s run wasn’t a good one! Read More
