Walking

[Lionqueen2]

Just saw a segment on GMA touting the health benefits of walking. I am frustrated. I enjoy my walks and usually try to get out and walk each day, but the steady rain here sure has made that hard. Grrrrr!! I can't wait for the sun to return.

Do you live in Buffalo by any chance? Sure hasn't felt like July here lately!

No, I am in New England, but I think we are sharing the same weather. Will we ever see the sun? I enjoy being outside and really enjoy my walks especially early in the morning during the summer months, but right now I feel like a prisoner in my own house. Where is summer?

One of the best things about having a dog who absolutely needed a long walk every day was that I found out, once you get out and get wet, walking in the rain in summer is not so bad. Really. The landscape looks nice and green, and once you get good and soggy yourself, you are a part of it in a weird way!

Embrace the rain. BE the rain. Walk in the rain.

And someday, let's hope we will get our quota of sun for this summer...

Ya'll feel free to send that rain down here!

As one already said, having a dog pretty much gurantees W's. (The word 'walk' is forbidden in my house as it creates canine hysteria.).

One thing though is to have proper walking shoes and socks.

Your comments just reminded me that I will be dog-sitting my daughter's dog this weekend so it looks like I will be walking - rain or not. Her puppy is really energetic so it looks like I will make up for my lack of exercise.
