Day 4..........the sun is finally out and the tempurature is warm
Well, I finally got out for my walk today. I went 1/2 mile. Now you have to realize that I have not engaged in lengthy walking outings in a few years, as I have suffered from a disability in my left ankle. Today I decided to take the plunge, so to speak. I got on some comfortable clothes, and tennis shoes, and loaded my 2 year old granddaughter into the stroller. And away we went. Up the hill(about a 1% grade), against the wind, pushing a stroller was one hell of a workout for me. Then, along Hwy 17 with all the cars racing by, I had to push the stroller in the grass and dirt, as there is no shoulder on that part of Hwy 17. Then we went down the road on the other side of my complex. Thank goodness this part was easy--all down hill. Then across the parking lot to my car. Phew was I feeling it!!! I put my granddaughter in the carseat and then got in the driver's seat. I felt I had walked ten miles, but I was going to measure it with the odometer--0.5 miles was all it clocked!! Dang....maybe I can work up to a few times around the block--but with out the stroller!
