You couldn’t see it, even if it weren’t behind the Oura ring “activity” sticker, but there’s a Great Blue Heron near the middle of this photo.
Anyway, “Go me!” for getting an activity score of 100 from my Oura ring.

Heading out for her evening walk last night, the dog saw one of the neighbor dogs that she likes to tussle with, and lunged that way. I didn’t let her get loose, but the leash did twist my pinky, which is now all sore and swollen. (The swelling even spread to my ring finger, so I took my Oura ring off, just in case. But it fits okay on my left hand, so I haven’t had to quit wearing it.)
I’m managing the injury okay with rest and ice (and drinking some collagen), but I fear I’m going to have to miss my HEMA class this evening: My hand isn’t up to swinging a sword.
According to my Oura ring, my readiness has been declining for days now. Doubtful about the ring’s guess—that I wasn’t getting enough recovery in—I largely ignored its advice to take it easy. But after a crappy run yesterday, and another crappy readiness score, I’m taking today as a rest day.
Mildly amusing. Low peak for the first dog walk, notch for drinking coffee and Jumbletime, then my most active time is 7:00 AM, for the second dog walk.
Before I got a dog, my most active time was 11:00 AM, because that’s when I finally get to my workout.
I’m a little surprised to get a score of 100, considering that I didn’t go for a run. In fact, I got a 2 hour nap in the early afternoon.
It’s true I spent most of the rest of the day walking the dog.
I got a 100 on my Ours ring activity score twice in the past week, and it’s standing at 100 for today so far. Go me!
Badge from my Oura ring today. Photo of me from my HEMA class last night (a guard position called Tag).
My activity score of 100 due purely to walking the dog. Well, and sleeping better since getting a dog.
I forgot to bring my phone on one of my walks, so those steps only got counted twice and not three times!!! I am bereft.
I get scores in the upper 90s pretty often, but scores of 100 less so. Today I kept my “inactive time” nice and low, which I think is what made the difference.
