Walking

I'm glad I woke up today with no fever. I stayed home from church yesterday because this cold has gotten worse. It has moved down to my chest and I have been coughing and sneezing and running a low-grade temp for a couple of days now. Aarrrgggghhhh.... I wanted to go to church yesterday as it was a warm and sunny day. Oh well... I hope it warms up this week... but no such luck.

Frendell & I have started walking to train for the Mothers Day walk. I remember last year when I started walking and he warned me that I was not even waking a mile and I was convinced that I was walking at least two :-) So, he clocked it in the odometer last week so I can see how far I really have to walk for 3.5 miles. He cautioned me not to go too far yet... but I always think I could go further than i really can... especially since this is only our 2nd time to walk this far outside this winter. So, around 1.5 miles, I started coughing hard and I got dizzy and my foot hurt and I just wanted to go home. Yeah, whiny, I know. But I knew that if I just walked further over the bridge and turn right for 3 blocks, we would be home. Don't tell him I said I should've listened to him earlier when he said to only go a mile, since I have not been feeling well. And the sun went behind the clouds again... at least I got some Vit D for about half an hour. I hope it won't rain this week so I can try and walk everyday. I hope you are all walking already... or running, if that's what you prefer. May is coming around the corner and I hope you'll join me at the starting line. Walk, walk, walk....
