Happy June First!
I wonder how many times I've started my "regular walking" intentions. And just as many times left them off because of weather, or hurting this or that. Usually something to do with the coughing. Maybe triggered by...pollen, polution, smoke, lawn care. Anything seems to make me cough. And that saps my energy.
But yesterday (last week now) I did a walk all the way around Lake Tomahawk. Let's say there were frequent photo stops, and one complete sit down on the bench stop. But that last third of the walk was really intense! I pushed this old machine and she acccomplished it! What was the option, if you're 2/3s around, there's nothing but find another bench or push on through. Marathoners have nothing on me.
It's sad but true. But my 30 minutes that I count as walking that half mile, with some of the stopping included, did give me a sense of accomplishment. Yay me.
Now for the photos.
The other direction had an interesting shadow pattern and a fountain. Not a duck or goose anywhere near the lake today. (But just wait a while...later...)
Next shots...the dam, the shade, the ducks, the geese!

So easy to drop, be too busy to walk.....so hard to get back into the routine!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm thrilled a friend has been asking to join me...added help to keep going!
Delete...walking seems like such a simple activity until parts of your body rebel.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Those parts are just what need our attention at times. But keep on keeping on is my motto.
DeletePretty views of the lake. Kudos on your walking, it is good to get into a walking routine. Take care, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm glad to have a friend going with me now (a week later!)
DeleteNice little accomplishment. With you-know-what installed within me, walking is more problematic than ever.
ReplyDeleteI can certainly imagine. But do whatever you can to keep all your muscles alive and ready for the next few steps, whether up or down stairs, or just around the house!!
DeleteI like your commitment to walking, Barbara. I hope you feel well enough to do it as often as you can. You see such lovely views there. Take care and stay well.
ReplyDeleteOnce I can just swing along then there won't be as many photos. Ah, that'll be the day!
DeleteWe're dealing with heat, but it should break during the night Friday.
ReplyDeleteWhat has held me back from my former exercise regime is this darn hand surgery. I'm tired of being hampered by it and can't understand why it saps me so much. Good for you getting back to an exercise you like.
