Ok... First you have to understand that this is huge for me, especially recently. I decided to walk to work today...I know you're all probably saying big whoop...well it's 7 very long blocks...I know again big whoop, right? Well this from a woman who sat this weekend and was so mad at my mother in law I made and ate almost an entire cake...anyway...sorry I digress...
So 6:30 am in 34 degree weather with a 30 lb book bag, a heavy pocketbook and a heavy coat. I walked the 7 blocks to work. did I mention that the last 2.5 blocks are uphill which you really don't notice in a car, but after eating almost an entire cake, and carrying a heavy book bag and pocketbook and sliding on the black ice on the sidewalk, you notice...:-) I just calculated it and it is .9 miles and I did it in 20 minutes. Now of course when I got to work, I was sweating like a pig in oil...and breathing like someone shut off my personal air supply...but I did it!!! and I walked home too, which was much easier because it was downhill and the weather had warmed up to almost 50 degrees. YEAH!!!
I bet I'll sleep good to - night tired

Hey Diane

I am so proud of you that you decided to get out there and use up your energy on something positive! You go girl! Hey you can call it the mother in law exercise plan. Maybe next time she'll make you so mad you'll run to work. My ex-husband used to pi** me off all the time and I used to live in the gym just to avoid him.

BTW, Anybody who's out walking in weather colder than 50 degrees gets two high fives from me. I can't stand cold weather. To me anything less than 75 is freezing (yes, I'm a wimpy desert rat).

Look forward to hearing more about your walking adventures.
