Today the sun shone and it registerd about 10 C. My walking partner and I left our homes and walked partway around the lake. It was lovely walking and talking. We are hoping to work it back into our routine. Although, we only walked two miles, it was a good start.

The weather is cold, snowy, rainy and windy so I walk to the mall through a maze of indoor corridors.
The spirit says walk quickly the body says not today. The spirit says keep going the fingers reach out to feel the fabric on a jacket. The spirit says starting and stopping isn’t going to help you feel the burn. The body says, I’m hot enough.
My goal is shifting rapidly from beating my previous time to hoping for a day without rain, snow or too much wind so that the body will at least show up, spirit intact.

I bundled up against a 44 k S.E. wind and put my walking beat music in my ear and walked to the local Safeway, then to the park and home again. This took me about an hour including shopping in Safeway. I was anxious to report my milage alas somewhere along the way my pedometer went to sleep and I didn’t notice it.

Today the wind was gusting at 82 k per hour and I opted to walk to the mall.
