I have been walking just about everyday since Oct 13th. Seriously walking. I am walking a 5K this Saturday Oct 29th! I never would have thought to sign up for one had it not been for my new friend Stephanie. She walked her first 5K in Aug and her 2nd in Sept! She told me, "If I can do it you can do it too!" That has been her motto. Love it.
I have been resisting exercise for many years, and quite honestly got so heavy and out of shape that I really could not get around very easily. I tried walking early Oct and all I could do was one small lap. So once I really committee and started walking with a few walking buddies, in 12 days I went from 1 lap to now walking up to 11 laps which is 3.3 miles! And some weekend days, I will walk twice. Some days I walk by myself and use the time to talk to God, pray for people, meditate and think.
I can't keep up with my laps, and I really don't like those little pedometer thingies, so I am trying to come up with a creative way to keep track of my laps. I have some ideas.
I am very grateful to my walking buddies and so proud of each of them.
My staycation started today and I walked this morning. I have my Dad's dog and he gets so tired plus his smooshed in nose (he's a pug) makes it hard for him to breath. So I did not get in much walking this morning but tonight I am going walk some more and try to do maybe 5 of the bigger laps and 5 of the smaller ones.
