take a walk every day

I figured walking 1.5 miles in flip flops today wouldn’t be a problem, but by the end of my short walk, I had a huge blister forming. Bad idea! But I felt better for the walk, so no excuses tomorrow.

As I don’t drive and live on a rural lane that immediately runs into a busy highway, my walking options are limited. However, excuses are over! There is a route I can take starting from my front door and winding up another street that will be a good 30 minute walk I can do every day. I ordered new ear buds for my iPhone so I can listen to music and podcasts, as well as set a timer to make sure I’m walking as long as I intended to. I know 30 minutes every day isn’t much, but I hope to eventually supplement it with other things. I’m going to not make the mistake of expecting too much too soon, just getting in motion and developing a good habit is the idea here.
