From My Mind to....

Walking

Finally, a break in the heat!  The temperature for this morning's walk was 66 degrees. That's a far cry from the low to mid-80's over the past three weeks. I decided to celebrate by adding another half mile to my walk.

My doctor told me walking is the best exercise for post-surgery activity. Today's walk was my 109th consecutive day. My initial walk was four days after surgery around my yard going about .18 mile. By the end of April, I was up to a half mile.

May's average was a mile a day; June was a mile and a half; and July's average was just over two miles daily. My biggest problem with walks is ... they take too long. My two and a half mile walk today took almost 44 minutes. During my running days that distance was easily under 20 minutes. Yeah, I got other things to do.

Speaking of that, I have to finish my daily writing tasks.
