Hello friends of this journey!
Today, I had to cancel my outside walk with my walking buddy because of rain, and instead do a walking DVD inside. That's OK. Sunday we had a lovely walk at our favorite state park. Hopefully I can walk outside again, soon.
It amazes me how much I disdain inside exercise. There is just something about being outside that spurs me on. I like the varied terrain. Unexpected hills and differing foot paths make the walk more interesting.
I had walked this same trail at the park many times and felt as if I were walking it for the first time as the snow cover and lack of trees gave it a totally different look. I actually felt disoriented! And walking in winter boots with a heavy coat and jeans made it a bigger effort than my summer weight clothes of the past.
Being able to enjoy walking this winter has been an unexpected pleasure. I am thankful for the ability to get out and keep moving!

That is so great to hear. Glad it's all going so well for you. :)
ReplyDeleteI pray you get lots of outside exercise this winter. I on the other hand like exercising in front of my tv. I know you wouldn't that of me but there it is.[o= I will have to get hubby to take me on a leisure walk out in the snow soon.
