I Took a Walk Today

I did.
I put on my sneakers and loaded up my gear
and I took a walk.

I listened to Michelle Wolf's sometimes laugh-out-loud sometimes oh-dear-God schtick at the White House Correspondents Dinner.  I paused half way through and stretched.  I kept up a decent pace, and thought about my stride.  I tried to keep my hips even and my shoulders straight.  I used my newly found quadriceps and aductors, listening to them squeal and choosing to ignore their outbursts.

I marveled at the blossoms,
but I didn't stop to admire them until I was finished walking.  

20 minutes out and back on a relatively flat surface.
Rewarding myself with a moment communing with my little friend.
remembering her with others who share the loss. 
I talked to her about this, 
a new to me example of the wonders of nature.
I strolled on the newly raked paths in her garden.
Then I went home.

I took a walk today.

  2. Yay for walking! We were up and out this morning early. I'm hoping tomorrow we can get out for a bike ride, before it gets hot. Glad your quads are back and cooperating.
