Words from Ulysses by Lord Alfred Tennyson January 18, 2019


I came across this phrase from Lord Alfred Tennyson's poem Ulysses in the article Børge Ousland: How I crossed Antarctica alone. The phrase is found on the monument located on Observation Hill, Antarctica in memory of those who died on Robert Falcon Scott's Terra Nova expedition in March 1912.

I find the phrase to be a powerful one for this Friday on a long weekend. We all should work on striving, seeking, finding and not yielding in whatever it is that we choose to do. Be it personal, business or a combination of both. Never stop trying to improve. Never quit. Never give up.

Until Then Keep Stepping,

Steps for Week of June 22 - June 28, 2020

Image
Hey peeps what's up. Just wanted to post my steps for the week of June 22-June 28 as tracked by my trusty Fitbit Blaze. Take a look: As I highlighted in my post  Steps for Week of June 15 - June 21, 2020  I had a total of 61,827 steps. So I went down somewhat. To be honest, it was super hot out there last week and lacked the motivation to push through the heat. We'll see what adventures in stepping this current week brings.  I hope everyone is safe and healthy out there these days. I hope you are all taking care of yourselves. Following all the safety protocols that you can not only for yourselves but more importantly for those around you. COVID-19 is the real deal. It isn't fake. It isn't a hoax. Please be careful. Ok. enough of the soapbox. Talk to you all real soon. Until Then Keep Stepping, #SiscoVanilla #SiscoVanillaIsStepping #SiscoVanillaHitsTheBricks

Peloton Arid Air Scenic Ride July 1, 2020

Image
With today being July 1st, I've decided to shake off some rust and hop on the trusty Peloton bike and do a quick 10-minute scenic ride. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Peloton scenic rides, they range from 10-60 minutes and you basically ride to a recording of outdoor areas. Some are nature scenes. Some are city scenes. You set the resistance and pedal to your desired cadence. Below is a breakdown of my workout. The ride felt good. I'm looking forward to being consistent and riding the bike daily. On to tomorrow.  Until Then Keep Stepping, #SiscoVanilla #SiscoVanillaIsStepping #SiscoVanillaHitsTheBricks
