Day 34
10,579 steps
Went for a walk today, Valentine's Day, Feb. 14, and this is my 34th day to keep track of my walking stats in 1014. Nice day in Austin, Texas. We actually have had some chilly temps but today was perfect for walking. Went to my favorite walking place, a hilly area close to where I live. Got sidetracked immediately by an Estate Sale. They actually had things I like, baseball memorabilia, some coins, beautiful seashells, and things collected from world travels. Everything was pretty expensive. I bought nothing as a result and so I continued on my walk.
You meet people when you walk and you encounter interesting things-- like Estate Sales. I've become addicted to the exercise and I had to keep moving. I felt a little winded going uphill. I'm a bit out of shape. My walks have been less vigorous of late. Time to make a comeback!
Passed a mother and daughter hanging out on their front lawn. The mom wished me a "Happy Valentine's Day!" That's a nice vibe. I needed the encouragement-- feeling a bit tired towards the end of my walk. A little bit of love from a stranger! Feels good to be outside-- and that's another big benefit of walking-- you are usually outdoors if you want a brisk, vigorous walk.
I've been telling lots of friends about the benefits of walking-- and some have even purchased pedometers!
