Day 231 of a quest to joggle at least one mile every day for 1000 days in a row.
Summary: Today was a “rest” day so I did the minimum joggling run. I spent a few hours at the beach juggling, reading, hitting a volleyball around, and resting. It was great. At one point a girl who was watching me juggle says, “Hey, can you balance things on your face?” I said, “sure.” It didn’t occur to me until later that this was an odd thing to ask.

What body of water washed up on that beach?
Good ol’ Lake Michigan
I envy your balancing skills. No joke. I am way behind in learning to balance well. I eventually want to learn to bounce a ball on the head while juggling, I have some work ahead of me.
If you look at my earlier Hat Balancing videos on Youtube you’ll see that it took me some practice to get better. I spent 5 minutes each day for about a month before I could hold it for longer than a minute.
I’m trying to add juggling while balancing the hat but it’s tough.
That’s good to hear. I need to practice more on balancing, I am such a neophyte at this.
Whoa that’s impressive! I admire your coordination… You’re going to go a long way with those kind of skills!
