Ruminations: Why did I ever stop?

I have walked consistently many times in my adult life, and I have loved it. And other times I have not and I have not felt as good.

Why did I ever stop? Part of it is the habit thing, I guess. When we left here last April we had been walking every day as part of what we did. Then we went on a 6-week road trip. No walking!

And then we moved into our house, and we walked quite a bit, back and forth from the storage unit to the car and from the car to the house and back again. In the two weeks we did that, we probably covered only a mile or two.

And then we took a break from that and did some gardening. And that's when I could have walked more but didn't, I mean getting out on the road and really walking. And now I'm paying for it.

Let it be a lesson to me! Now I'm back at about 4500 feet elevation and it's not as easy as it was last year!

LET THAT BE A LESSON! TO ME!
