My friend, Amanda whom I call Opie is my walking partner. Today we added an extra mile to our 2.5 mile walk to make it 3.5 miles. We hope to map out a new trail for next week where we will be at 5 miles per walk. We use this time to avoid the need for psychiatric help by talking about everything. Tonight, we really solved some world problems. Our walk is full of twists and turns and HILLS (where I could use a little oxygen mask) as we climb them. The last hill tonight was very steep and I had my doubts about reaching the top. WE Did it!! Yay! Opie is quite the trooper...I complain and she justs keeps her cool. Near the end of the walk my legs felt like noodles, but the only pain I was experiencing was on the bottom left buttock...one little muscle screaming the whole way through.
Tonight had a funny twist...you know how you go to see your Doctor and he/she asks about what you are eating and if you are exercising?? On our walk, we ran into my doctor and his family out enjoying the neighborhood and bicycles. We talked for a moment and as we walked off I shouted back..."Next time you ask me if I'm exercising, you'll know I'm speaking the truth." And Opie is my witness!!
We took this picture to show off our barking dogs once we made it home. I don't know what tomorrow morning will bring or even if we will be able to get out of bed, but for tonight...Dogs are barking!
