Something new
As part of my ongoing quest to improve my overall health condition, I have started a new program at work. The building I work in is in a large business park with several man made lakes. I have started a personal goal of walking around the lake nearest my building at least twice per day. One lap around is 3/4 of a mile. Here is a photo from my recent stroll. My building is in the distance near the center of the pic.
I know that walking like the this is nothing to some people, but it's a big step for me. I had become somewhat sedentary in recent years.

Way to go CJ. My hat goes off to you. Walking is a great form of exercise and it is free.

You looked very trim at CC. It was definitely noticeable. Keep up the good work!

Good for you CJ. Just wondering where you're going to walk next Summer. Even I draw the line in the Summer. :)

So what are you going to do when it's 110 or above??? By the way, good luck on your walking.

I'd still walk it at 110°, although we won't see temps like that until next June.

More power to you. I go to the community center, jump on a treadmill in front of the window and march. Or on weekends head up into the mountians above 8000 feet. I melt when it's 110.

Good.... I walk 1 mile every day with the dogs after they have dinner. I do plenty of other walking in the day too. I hope to have time and $$$ for winter camping again this year.

Thats great, keep it up. If your a few floors up in the building, use the stairs instead of the elevator, thats also really good exercise.

Keep at it CJ and Mac. Walking is a great way to exercise and also very relaxing. When the heat comes back don't let it keep you from walking. You can always go to a mall and do your walking when the temps go up.

That is great CJ. I get all my walking while on cafeteria duty every day for 1:30 hours. Love my job...not that though.

You know how it goes. One lap leads to two and then next thing you know you'll be doing marathons. ;)
