It also implies that I am wearing the Apple watch for no reason today. My step count will be low, as will my calories burned count, and finally my exercise minutes. On a day like today I could keep it off, for peace of mind. I really wish Apple Fitness behaved like Strava, rather than a silo.<\/p>\n<p>I could go on a run today but if I do I need to wear clothes that dry easily when I get home. I still have Catarrh but I feel better. If I run I might clear it sooner.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The word &quot;catarrh&quot; comes from 15th-century French catarrhe, Latin catarrhus, and Greek Ancient Greek: ?????????[5] (katarrhein): kata- meaning &quot;down&quot; and rhein meaning &quot;to flow.&quot; The Oxford English Dictionary quotes Thomas Bowes&#8217; translation of Pierre de la Primaudaye&#8217;s The [second part of the] French academic (1594): &quot;Sodainely choked by catarrhs, which like to floods of waters, runner downwards.&quot;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Catarrh\">source<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I want to feel good again.<\/p>\n<p>The weekend is approaching and I could go for a VF this weekend at Sixt Fer \u00e0 Cheval but I am not tempted to drive that far, to be with that group. I did see another plan that sounds more fun. People are driving from Lyon to do the Bellevaux VF before camping for one night before doing the Thones VF. That&#8217;s a project that I like the sound of. The drive I have is short so I don&#8217;t need to camp, but the idea of camping rather than driving back and forth is alluring. I don&#8217;t know anything about the people though.<\/p>\n<p>I was not inspired today, so I have experimented with a different style. If I felt well I am sure that I would be passionate about finding something to do, but now I think spontaneous plans could be more fun. A spontaneous bike ride for example.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Today it&#8217;s raining, which may imply that I will not go out for a walk, or a run, and definitely not a bike ride.
