Recent Walks

I've been lax in my walking routine and also in jotting it down. I walked my half hour course the following dates: 1/20, 21, 23 and 24. The latter two days were treadmill walks due to cold weather and the former, were outside walks.

1-18 Treadmill

I walked on the treadmill for 50 min. yesterday, since the weather has been cold outside for the last week.

1-8/9/10

1-8 Hubby and I didn't really walk for exercise this day, but we did get exercising walking downtown up and down a one-mile road window shopping and stopping for lunch (just for the record).

1/9 Hubby and I walked our 1-hr route today.

1-10 I walked my 1-hr route without any jogging today. I wasn't feeling very good all day.

1-5 Walk/ Jog

I walked and jogged my 1-hr route with effort today. Lung capacity didn't feel full. I was coughing and felt some pain in my chest. I finished it and I'm happy for that. I will continue forward from here. Each day is new.

Jan. 2, 2007 Walk/Jog

I walked and jogged my 1-hr. route outside today. I can feel my lungs increasing in their capacity for air, tho I'm still gasping when I jog. I received encouragement this day from a person-angel who yelled out to me as I was jogging by her house, "is this your New Year's Resolution!?".

"Kind of..." I gasped with a big grin.

"Oh, you're so good!" she exclaimed with a smile.

Beaming from the encouragement, I stated, "I'm only jogging to end of this street [where I will fight for my breath and begin walking]". Then, as I passed another neighbor in his garage cleaning out years of junk to make way for new Christmas junk I called out, "Happy New Year!".

I made it further down than that street than previous trips. Thank you to the people angels for that little bit of support to continue on my journey.

12-31 Walk

Hubby and I walked the half route. It was chilly and we were too cold to go the hour. I've been slacking over the holidays. I will pick it back up again after all this hullabaloo passes from holiday madness. I know it's no excuse, tho.

12-26 Walk

Walked my half route with the doggie and the child that I babysit.

12-25 Jog to the Chill Wind

Though it was windy and cold, doggie and I stepped it up to a jog today and had a nice Xmas morning exercise session on my half route. I think I burned more calories preparing the holiday meal, conversing and exchanging gifts with relatives til late into the evening. Bed never sounded so inviting...

12-22/23 Walk

Doggie and I walked very fast for half of my route Fri. and Sat. My shins and ankles were hurting so badly from the previous day's race walk with him. I may be escaping over to doggie's house Xmas day when I'll be deluged with inlaw family. Help!

12-21 Walk, Jog

I walked and jogged with my doggie pet-sitting client yesterday. I wore him out after a half hour, so I took him home, then finished my hour route. Him and I will be exercising again today thru Xmas day. Hubby will be joining us, so I may be walking a little slower so they can keep up. Hehehee. I really enjoy pet sitting. The walk takes on a broader dimension when there's another creature walking beside me, even if I do have to walk a bit slower.
