5 Mile Morning Walk


Part of my Dallas Marathon training involves a walk day.   It didn't always start out this way, it kinda just evolved into Monday Morning Walks as I call.  When I walk on Mondays, I do a minimum of 4 miles.  To me to do any less then 4 miles isn't worth it, I know it kinda sounds crappy, but it is what it is, and if I'm gonna walk I want some mileage to burn more calories.
Quite honestly, I have really come to enjoy starting my week off this way.   I find it relaxing just to ease into my weekly workout routine. Though happy and chipper in the early am, I don't like being just thrown into anything.  I like to ease my way into things; take my time; you know chew my food slowly; kiss a little; hug a little - You get what I'm talking about??  For me taking my time and easing into whatever I may be doing at the time keeps me from dropping it as quickly as I have picked it up or as quickly as  I have  thrown  myself into it.  Make sense?

About Me

” All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naive. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself.” ~Ralph Ellison
