snugglekittySo, in the past week or so I haven't Taken a Walk.
I haven't gone out for a long walk just for the purposes of walking.
However, I have been doing that other thing, where you just walk to wherever you're going. Walking to the grocery store, the library, a friend's house, wherever, with a book or cell phone in hand. When you do it intentionally, it adds up fast. I think I've probably been walking at least a half an hour a day, doing that. I walk until I feel tired and then take a bus the rest of the way. On Tuesday I walked all the way down Orchard Street to find a patch of sunlight about as big as a closet, and then stood in it until I felt revived.
Also, I like that I can use my own feet as my primary source of transportation. There's something really cool about that.
This is good conditioning for taking some longer walks, hopefully next week when the weather will be more consistent.
