One of the reasons I got out walking this morning was the great column Dave McGovern wrote for the Winter issue of WALK! Magazine. He has friends with health ailments that greatly curtail their abilities to walk … yet they keep going. One even built a cart to carry his oxygen tank while he walks! After reading about that athlete, what excuse can I EVER come up with that would be even remotely plausible.

I’ll be out walking again tomorrow.

Side note: I’m starting to like these weekday morning walks. It’s a shame I don’t feel the same enthusiasm for them on the weekends. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact I feel as if I’m playing hooky on a weekday, and I feel as if I don’t have time on the weekends. I wish my schedule allowed more morning walks. But then again, if the novelty wears off maybe I won’t be as excited about them

It was chilly (50s?), and took a little while for me to build up any heat, but once I got going it was fine. I walked for just 38 minutes, but it still felt good. One thing that encouraged me to walk faster was a garbage truck! I walked as fast as I could to get away from that thing! Luckily it turned the corner.
