This will be a short post as I returned from our [annual cottage week](https://brianejohns.com/2022/08/31/blog-back-from-a-long-needed-vacation/)
a few days ago. Check out the beautiful scenery in the short video below.

As usual, I had a great time there. I read a few books, hung out with family and
ate well. Oh yes, a few beers too. But I still did solo workouts, focusing on hill
workouts every day before heading to the beach.

In the video below, I mentioned doing 15 reps of this hill. I’m happy to report 
that I amped it up to 25 reps on our last day there.

The right side is feeling pretty decent. Probably be another month or two before
it’s 100%!

In other news, I recently learned of a new development with WordPress. See my one-
minute video below.

 The addition of VideoPress is a huge advancement for bloggers! The number of changes
and upgrades over the last few years has been mind-boggling and overdue. While video
platforms (YouTube, YouTube Shorts, Instagram, TikTok etc.) have proliferated over
the past few years, the enhancements to blogging platforms such as WordPress, Wix
and others have been amazing. I think that this is an underrated and unappreciated
social media development.
