It has been sunny and afternoon temperatures have been just -1 to -3 C, spring will be arriving. I am just alone as I am always in Friday evenings, I plan to ride my bicycle a lot during the weekend.
Anybody likes to chat ?
Sure. I have gone out today but in the car. It’s been raining all day and we have a storm coming in tomorrow, so not really able to do much.
I join the gym tomorrow, so I can start swimming
I just booked all my hotels and the ferry trip to go hiking in June in Ireland. I think I am going to have to get a lot of exercise though, it is through some mountains.
Some people have recommended me to join a gym, but I like to do my exercising alone. In gyms there are many people, maybe it is a good way to socialise with people, but I also see people when I ride my bicycle.
I used to be anti-gym as for that reason that jumping on a bike is free.
I plan to go early and late in the day, so I hope it will be less busy then
I used to love swimming, and this place has an indoor and outdoor pool
My main motivation is to have somewhere else to go instead of sitting in my flat.
I have a bike, but I have not cycled for a long time.
I like the pictures you post of your environment where you live. Looks like a peaceful place to be
Hiking is good exercising, I did that when I lived in Atlanta, but now I have not done any hiking for many years, your Ireland trip sounds interesting, hiking is especially good when there is a beautiful and scenic landscape.

Yeah, I would like to go further abroad but I dont have the money, maybe somewhere like America. I do have some reservations about going to trails in America though, I know they have a lot of dangerous wildlife out there. I am not too sure how I feel about being around bears and things like cougars.
I often went hiking here …

Im not sure how I would deal with high elevations. 1,686 feet does not sound too bad though. There is lots of trails that I want to try but they are all in foreign speaking countries, and I have like no experience travelling around in foreign countries and I am not too sure how I would go about it on my own.

I used to travel a lot when I was young, in places such as Venezuela and Costa Rica where they speak Spanish and I can not speak any Spanish. I had no problem with that. Somehow one gets used to it. Even in Miami many people speak Spanish, I lived over two years in my auto mostly in Miami and Miami Beach. I tried to learn some Spanish, but had not much motivation to do so. People in different language areas speak English often, at least little.

When I studied in the university I had a 1-week trip to Paris in 1988, almost exactly 32 years ago. It was a good experience and I liked Paris. I was young then, just 20 years old. I remember completing some course work in my hotel room. I would like to visit Paris again, especially the Latin Quarters was quite interesting. They often say that French people do not want to speak English, but I managed to do my things with English.
Swimming is good exercising, I am not a very good swimmer. We have the place for swimming, they have two indoor pools, and of course they have sauna. I have not gone there for many years. I do like sauna though.
I hope this will be a new hobby.
I used to cycle 30 miles every Saturday and I was very fit.
I am out of condition, but this is not my primary reason to go. Losing weight and being a bit healthier will ultimately be a benefit though.
I plan to cut my smoking habit to start with by one third, and the money I save will help pay for it

Exercising is very good for schizophrenics …
I hope so. My motivation has been lacking in the last few years and I really need to do something about it
It may be a success, I just need to stay focused and make best use of the facilities.
