Happy Day Meme: Day 4

[tejas]

Home today and I did something I've been meaning to do for a while now. I *walked* to the *cheap* grocery store. That's about two miles away. Now, there was a time in the not *too* distant past when two miles would have been a breeze

Well you've made a great start! And I found I LOVED walking when I took my Ipod out with me. Gave me lots of time to chill out and think through difficult plotty bits in stories :-).

Definitely had mine with me. ;-) Lovely day for a walk, too, just too damn long at my current fitness level. :-) Or *un*fitness level. :-)

Two miles, I could do. It's three miles to downtown, and I do that all the time - walked 6 miles to dinner and back on Sunday. But two miles CARRYING something like groceries would kill me, or at least my arms. If I'm even just getting milk, I take the car.

That's why I rode the bus home. I still had to walk about a half mile, but that wasn't too bad. I didn't buy much.

What's sad is that I used to think nothing of doing five miles before work in the mornings.

*sigh*

I want to celebrate my 50th birthday with a nice long walk and not be half dead at the end of it. :-)

You can do it. Walking stamina comes back fast.

[tejas]

Yeah, that's what I've been figuring. Any time I had a lay off in the past, it came back quickly. This is just the longest lay off *ever*. :-)

Right now I feel like I've been pummeled by rocks. :-)
