Healthy Benefits of Walking/Jogging this Late Summer

Walking and jogging are excellent physical exercises that can improve your overall health. Late summer is a perfect time to start a walking or jogging routine, as temperatures are cooler, and the weather is generally pleasant. Here are some of the health benefits of walking and jogging:

Boosts cardiovascular health: Walking/jogging improves blood circulation, which can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Strengthens muscles: Regular walking/jogging can improve muscle tone and increase strength, especially in the legs, hips, and core.

Boosts mental health: Walking/jogging can reduce stress and anxiety, leading to an improved mood and better sleep.

Aids weight loss: Walking/jogging can burn calories, and over time, help you lose weight.

Promotes bone health: Walking/jogging promotes bone density, which can reduce the risk of osteoporosis and other bone-related ailments. NOTE: It's been said that the tick population is quite high this year. Be mindful of your person. Stay protected while out and about.

Ship log: the rules (updated)

On our first luxury rules we were perhaps not as fit then as we were now, and we made rules so as not to gain ten pounds. We never took the elevators, we always took the stairs, and were careful not to overeat. We walked several times on the promenade deck after a meal. That was fifteen or sixteen years ago, and the rules seem to have stuck. Plus, riding in elevators with some strangers has even less appeal since there has been a pandemic.

Less of a rule and more a pleasant routine is sunrise and sunset on deck. They are some of the most interesting times to be out. Sure, after a while, they start to look the same, but will always evoke the memory of the first time.

More routine: in and out of port. The thrill of seeing dry land again, and the approach to it heightens the anticipation of arriving in port and stepping off the gangway into a new place. Will the ship go in face first or flip around? Will the pilot board the boat or will the pilot boat just lead us in? The workers on the dock always do things a little differently, but somethings are the same. It fascinates me to see the way it is done. How do they moor those massive ships? With massive ropes, actually (lol), that several men drag onto the moorings, though sometimes they use a pickup truck.

Much of this fascination comes from spending four months at sea on a much smaller training vessel for merchant mariners. It was a study abroad program of sorts. Our college and their college were both in the state system, and our filling a berth would offset the fixed costs of running the ship all over the Pacific Ocean. We took our professors, took our classes, and crewed six days a week (clean sweep down, galley duty for a few days, daily muster), but all the days off in port. Meanwhile, we met new folks, got access to a whole different slice of life, the culture of marine commerce and of different port cities.
