Walks

Well, I have started to walk again. No, I am not doing the 3-day. I just have started to walk again, and am hoping to keep up the good habit. I have to admit it is easy to have the desire to walk since Ginger is in the picture. I like to take her for walks, and she needs them, so I have to do it. It is like taking a PE class at a community college, you are getting graded, you have to do it. My dog's health depends on it, I have to walk. (Note that I do not care about my health). Yesterday, it was up Laurel street from Columbia to 6th. Mama was done. Up the hill and back down was enough for me. I have to say, that I have actually not fallen out of shape too much from the 3-day, because I was not still or sore after it, I just DID NOT want to walk any more. Ginger took it like a champ. Even came home and played fetch for a while. Today, we went again. If you do something once it is a strain, if you do it every day, it is a routine. But, today, we went all the way up the hill, and to the dog park. The dog park is grand because, well, I can sit, but, Ginger played chase random doggies for a solid hour, and then we headed home. Again, I am not stiff or sore (yet), and Ginger is curled up in my lap totally pooped.
Can I do this everyday? No, unfortunately, I don't always have the time. Three times a week though, and I think I will be set.
