I feel so much better when I’m able to get three or more power walks in during the week.  Even if I’m dreading or complaining about the difficulty of getting out there more than twice in a week, I really need to.  Maybe I need a motivational sign that says, “GO FOR A WALK, you’ll feel better!”  I’ve noticed what seems to be an increase in my lung capacity that’s making the walking a little easier.

Anyway, today’s walk was beautiful — some sun, some cloud cover & a nice breeze.  Since it was cool I could walk later in the morning which I think cuts down on some of the traffic on the trail.  Not that the amount of traffic is all that bothersome. . .  Most of the time I’m in a zone and hardly notice where I am on the trail much less everyone else on the trail.  *smile*
