work out at least 3 times a week

I’ve been using a Zune to download music to listen to while I’m walking. I’ve got it full of music, but it’s not easy to select the songs that are fast enoough to keep me moving and sweating. I’m just not good enough to make a good playlist so i resort to ABBA. I’ve found that anything ABBA has a fast enough beat, which is fine cause I like ABBA. Hey! I’m a child of the 70’s, what can I say? :)

I’ve been playing around with downloading some podcasts (Bible reading and Spanish lessons) and found some podcasts for running and walking! How cool is that? Someone (bless their heart) has thought of me and creates podcasts for my workouts. Thank you PodRunner and Prevention Magazine.

Met up with a few folks from the Singles group at church to walk at Friedrich. We hiked the main loop, about 1.7 miles I think. It was good walk on a good cool morning. The park is really active, I want to go again.

Well the walking partner forgot me and went out on her own. I was in a low mood so I took it personally – I still do. But I’m so proud of myself because even though I was low, I STILL went walkng by myself. I was VERY proud of myself. And I woke up the next weekend early and walked 3.5 miles again!

WooHoo for me. Of course, I know, walking 3.5 miles once a week ain’t physical fitness, but it’s a lot for me right now.

During the summer I did fairly well walking the dogs before bed. But then it rained for about a week and I had a business trip and then school started and then…. it’s always something.

At bible study last night one of the other ladies mentioned starting to walk and I asked if she needed a partner. I was a bit disappointed she wanted to walk just once a week, but I can walk with her one day and on my own the other days.
