Looking Forwad

We've got some pretty exciting plans for the spring and early summer; beginning with a short vacation at the end of this month (of course Don will be training for his marathons in Oregon and Washington in early June where he will complete his 50 States) and ending with a Great Lake Swimmers concert in Cincinnati in late June. It should be a lot of fun and everything we are doing is oriented around running/walking so with any luck this little bit of shaking it up will help to inspire me to get back into walking. By the way, speaking of walking, the new music is helping.

We went to Boardman yesterday to take Don's Dad out for his 87th birthday. It was a nice visit and we even had a little visit with JB. Mom and Dad seem to be doing well, they still pick at each other so I guess that means all is well.

No walk today, I have a sore calf, maybe tomorrow.

There is always hope.

Walking Is A Chore

I listened to The Four Preps yesterday while I walked; I imagine it has been at least three years since I last listened to them. I really enjoyed hearing 26 Miles again. I have added a large variety of music to my new MP3 player, much more than I had on my old one. I hope it helps to get me motivated to walk.

Walking, something I need to do for my health and something I used to like doing but the last few months it has been agony for me to put on my walking shoes and head out the door. I have no idea why it suddenly became a chore; at this point I really don't care all I want is to want to walk again. Maybe the new music will help.

As for the bathroom, it finally got a good cleaning and I even mopped the floors in the rest of the house. I know, I know it is astonishing! Who can say? Perhaps I am becoming motivated. Time will tell.

There is always hope.
