I really do love to walk. My daughter said in wonderment the other day, "You can't do anything that could be called a real stretch, but you could walk for miles!" I'm not sure about an unlimited number of miles -- but I think that I could go a long way. It gives me time to unwind, to plan, to pray, to daydream -- all critical to my mental health.
The downside is that it's hard for me to focus on anything that might approach a real aerobic walk -- I hate having to withdraw my attention from what's going on in my mind and focus on my physical effort. But my son, who was into working out in a big way during high school, tells me that my walks will be much more effective if I move faster. So I'm going to try to insert periods of speed into my much more desirable periods of reverie.
Walked: 3.5 miles in the sunshine.
