new resolution

[snugglekitty]

I have decided that I want to spend more time taking walks.

Last summer, things were unpleasant in many ways, but I was taking a long walk every day, and that felt good. I'd like to start doing that again. I have a lot of "incidental" walking, but I want to walk for at least forty minutes "on purpose" every day.

I had originally thought I would get up early and do this, but with the weather what it is, I'm enjoying walking after the sun goes down. Luckily, with where I live, there are a lot of safe places to do that. Also, mornings are my time to do my thing, and I don't want to lose that. I'm often much more uncertain about what to do when it's late at night and I'm not busy. Also, I've been having a hard time falling asleep at night, which makes it difficult to get up early.

So, I think that my new plan involves a walk after dinner, or on my way home from a date. At least till it gets cooler, then I'll be in a better position to enjoy daytime walks (and hopefully be sleeping better too).

Enjoy the walking.

For a while when I was in Florida (possibly home from college for a few weeks, possibly the summer before college) I tried taking a regularly-scheduled bike ride around our large neighborhood. I tried after dinner but it was wiltingly hot. My mom mentioned that it's cooler in the early morning. I tried it one day, and not only was it cooler, but I saw a bunch of other people power-walking and all that. In FL, it's evidently smarter to go before the heat of the day starts building up.

sounds like a good resolution. I'll be living closer to you pretty soon, and would love to get together for a walk, if you feel like having a walk-buddy sometime. I need the exercise/fresh air and plus, you're fun. :-)

I need to do the same thing so I don't lose functionality. Pity we don't live closer or we could do it together. :D
