Hi,I'm new to LJ and this community and wanted to say hello.
I walk at least 2 or 3 times a week according to how much time I have.Usually I walk alone,which I also enjoy a lot,but today my sister joined me.It's very warm here at the moment and the heat and lots of midges made the walk a very exhausting one,so we had a little break on a bridge.

It's finally warm here - 50 degrees now, climbing to an expected 56 degrees. This morning Fred came home from work on a break and took the kids to school, leaving me free, so I took a 45 minute walk with the dog. We walked down to the pond that the city wants to fill in to make way for a Lowe's. I've voted no, have a sign on my yard urging others ( Read more... )

The weather is gorgeous. I'm hoping for more rain later this week - we haven't had near enough for the season- but part of why I love California is that in between rain storms there are beautiful, sunny, gorgeous days. It was a day like that on Friday, so I went for a walk. I took my jacket along. It's February, after all, and I was only ( Read more... )

I forced myself to walk up to the lake today. I don't do that often because I have to walk up a busy street 1/2 mile to get to the lake, but it forces me to walk for a full 30 minutes, and it's beautiful once I get up there ( Read more... )

Just to help me see how much I am doing in reality, I'm going to start recording my walks to and from school and the bus stops. Today as I walked the 1/2 mile from the bus stop to class, I noticed that it was warmer than I expected it to be. Much warmer already at 8 am than it was all day yesterday. I walk through Larimer Square, which is the ( Read more... )

I went for a nice afternoon walk today. Only 20 minutes, but I got out and smelled those autumn smells of damp brown leaves, dinner cooking, and wood burning. The colors are finally turning to brown, but I did enjoy looking at all the colors of the mums today. We always think of oranges, reds, and yellows, but purple is definitely an autumn color ( Read more... )

I’ve just been out under the harvest moon. I took a short walk and enjoyed the silence. There are no crickets or frogs anymore … just the soft rustle of crispy leaves in the night-winds. The experience was poignant. I know that tonight may be the last night I could walk without shoes. The sand on the road was already uncomfortably chilly.

I went for a walk this morning for the first time in ages. I think that will help with many many of my current issues (anxiety, stress, tightness). I started out my walk like I wanted to get it over with and grab a latte before starting my conference call about leveraging buyouts. Not good. So I worked on slowing and lengthening my stride, looking ( Read more... )

Hey all. I haven't walked in forever. It's just been too darn hot around here ... in the last couple of weeks just stepping outside has been enough to make me break a sweat. (Well ... that's not entirely true. I have gone walking a few times while I was in town -- usually after dark though.) I'm betting that we'll all start showing up here more ( Read more... )

I walked for 2 hours in total today. An hour this morning and an hour this afternoon. Just as well really 'cause I just had a big pig-out on chocolate. I'm very bad. In a moment of weakness I bought some chocolate when grocery shopping last week. Dark chocolate... my favourite ( Read more... )
