walk daily

I started walking (again) yesterday. I walked for one hour. I took a few rounds around the apartment once I reached back home and then i went back home to cook dinner for my husband. I need to go out today evening for some shopping and to my tailor, but still i dont want to miss the walk.

I feel so good.

the longest journey starts but with a single step. i am ready for the journey

I love walking, but I haven’t been doing it. I miss the neighborhood I grew up in. My street is too busy. I’m too busy.

I know, I should pack the shoes and schedule the time daily to Just Do It!

Inspired by Drs. Roizen and Oz. I need a half hour daily prescription.

Dear self- 5 minutes a day at least. C’mon, you can do this. Then up it to 10, then 15, then 30. Slacker.

isn’t that necessary now. There was fresh snow last night, but it isn’t cold.

(edit: I just changed the wording of my goal from “bundle up and go for a daily walk” to “walk daily” and suddenly I’m in a whole group of people who want to do this. Nice!)

except when it doesn’t work that way.

must run, er, rather, must sit

for me than lunchtime. Stuff is happening at lunchtime, but around 3 pm, things become more quiet. Most of users & co-conspirators on one project head home (they are almost all a couple of timezones east of me), and my main contact (in this timezone) on the other project picks the kids up from school around the same time. My lunch is in the middle of one of their most productive periods of the day.

yesterday, i went for a walk around 1:30pm. i walked all the way down newport ave and back, and the whole walk lasted about an hour. it wasn’t too lonely, because i had my mom’s ipod nano with me, and i had made a good playlist exclusively for the walk. it felt good to be outside in the sunshine, but when i got home, i noticed i had a couple small blisters on my feet! maybe it was the shoes i was walking in (classic vans slip-ons) or the fact that i don’t walk enough… whatever the case, i’m going to try to take walks more often!

and prove Lupin wrong!
