Oh look it's me again, back for another post. This totally come under the "me" part of my life. I love walking and walking fast, and getting the job done. It works much better when I have someone to walk with or music to listen to. This fall I'll be listening to music. I've lost my walking partner. We were slowly drifting apart for different reasons but this past year was the end. Her daughter is in her last year of Highschool, my youngest hasn't even gone to school yet. Her youngest is a year ahead of my oldest and that was our connection. My boys play with her boy. Her daughter was our sitter. Not now. Another wedge.
So my walks are a bit less then I'd like, when I had someone with me I'd go every night when I have no one there to go too, it's hard to motivate to get it done. My boys are not good walking company. It's hard to walk when you are telling other people to stay out of the middle of the street. My hubbie of late has been 'doing stuff before it's dark' and that's cutting into my walking time. I'm struggling. If only my bloggy friends would walk with me! I can't though walk with a laptop and I don't have a cellphone and I'd end up walking into traffic so I use my music. I plug in my earbuds (repeatedly they never stay in) and off i go. If it's getting dark fast? I've been known to run the last 1/4 mile. I'm not a runner. It's dangerous, there's that fear of concussion and possible chest related injuries.
Maybe I need a dog? A puppy wants to run fast right?

I love to walk, too, but like you don't have a walking partner. I usually walk the kids to school then off on my own.
Sounds like there is more of a story in there. Are you going to share?
It definitely helps to have someone willing to go with you. One of my friends has been going to the gym around the same time as me and the motivation is definitely higher since I know she's counting on seeing me there...
Good luck fitting in the walks!
So here I am with my new puppy Skye who is 8 months old and I'm not walking. I have the perfect partner. I was just thinking how wonderful it would be to get exercise while blogging. I here for hours each day. So maybe I have to blog on a bike. What do you think? Hey maybe we can Skype
together on our bikes.
Yes, a puppy is just the thing. Of course,you might be telling them to stay out of the street too!
