The Walking Thread

TiggerTigger, I trees too. I love walking in the woods.
Today's high was 35 with wind. Too COLD for me. Come on summer!

I was hoping to walk today, but it snowed
..in April. It is supposed to be in the 70s this weekend though . Gotta love New England.

Everybody has their temps and conditions which are just too much. 35 and windy is definitely not pleasant.

I act shocked but I went to college in a lake effect prone region. We got 6” of snow on my grad day, which was Mother’s Day. Nothing like measurable snow in the middle of May.

Happy Wednesday! I got in 6.23 miles. I was wearing a pair of shoes I bought back in December. The soles still look good on them and there’s no pain but I’m starting to notice a change. I don’t know if it’s because of the new springy shoes or because I have so many of various wear levels in rotation but they felt dead. I don’t run much… usually just to cross some streets, but it felt like I was wearing bricks at times. Something I might think about for the future.

Good morning and happy Thursday!

Another predictable weekday with 6.23 miles on my current standard route. I have to admit that it’s feeling a bit blah but it’s the best route near me from a fitness and scenery angle. We’re a pretty flat area and I’m pretty sure it’s these “hills” that have been the secret sauce for my speed and strength gains.



Also a fun little graphic… I often set my watch to run (vs walk) because it collects more data in run mode. Today was a more casual pace but I find it so funny that the watch sees the bulk of it as running. Nothing like beating Garmin’s algorithms! The idle times are me stopping my watch for a photo or to wait on traffic before crossing a street.



I guess at least it was a nice morning. Warm enough for a tank top but still cool enough for leggings and not too webby or humid. Pretty sure tomorrow will be warm enough for shorts and I might be dodging some rain.

I dodged rain today, but was blessed with this. Just so happy to be able to get out.

It's a little blurry, but was cool to see the rays coming through it.

Happy Friday Eve!

Not the most exciting day. I’ve got a lot going on and a lot on my mind. I just got out there and tried to walk out some of the stress and frustrations. I had to get out early and it’s a dreary gray sky, so the only pics are screenshots of my work and a picture of my symbolic turtle short. It’s that whole paradoxical speedy turtle notion.

Well... thanks to you two.. I went on a walk... around the casino complex. Wife is the gambler... I am not.... I play 7 cents to not lose and when the family arrived for dinner my club card said I played $125.00...I only lost $3.00. anyhow tourism has been bad this year so casino has a liberal free night promotion on which wife qualified...so I spent the night watching cable TV

This is how I got into walking. I started in my late teens. It really helped me release stress and process things that were happening. I find after a day at work or dealing with the current family crisis (It seems like we are being bombarded the last couple of years) that walking helps me release the frustration and energy and I can walk as fast or as slow as I need to to suit my soul.

Today the weather did not cooperate. Gray skies of rain and cold temps again. This spring is just as bad as the past winter. Hoping tomorrow will be much better. It has been a stressful week and I am exhausted and I really need to move.

I've said it before but I envy your mountainous landscape. Yes, I love my forest, but I have always been so moved by mountain landscapes. Love all of the pics!
