Take a walk…

I was perusing this month’s Better Homes and Gardens magazine while having breakfast this morning and an article on walking inspired today’s post. Did you know that the average American woman walks more than 50,000 miles in adulthood? That is enough to circle the Earth twice!! Walking has always been my favorite form of exercise. Even though I have ready access to a pool and have started a somewhat feeble attempt at running on a regular basis; walking is the activity I enjoy most and am least likely to not talk myself out of doing. I love nothing more than striding along, taking note of the changes in my neighborhood, smelling banks of blooming roses and admiring cute dogs being taken on their walks. Somehow all of my senses are much more engaged while walking than when running. It’s the perfect melding of physical exertion and therapy. I’m tying up the laces on my favorite walking shoes and hitting the pavement as soon as I post this. If you happen to be doing the same, and pass me on the street, be sure to say “hi”!
