the walking thread

[dad]

i've been getting a lot more walks in during the last month and a half. most of my walks are through my neighborhood and the one south of ours. for the first couple of weeks, i took a route that was basically a big loop between the two, which nets a little over three miles. the last few days, i've started weaving through streets, and going down and back off-shoot cul de sacs. this morning, i did all that, as well as pushed myself to the outskirts of our neighborhood entrances. it paid off for a little over six miles, and i was able to knock that out in 94 min.

i feel great, and it's always nice to get out and do something for myself while the family is sleeping (i left at 0615). it's also a good feeling being around when things outside are waking up.

and as much as i enjoying walking, i love a good hike, and The Hiking Thread is really inspiring, and i've been eyeballing some places i can go that are--at a minimum--a two-hour drive from the house. one of them is gloss mountain park, which is about two hours northwest of okc.

anyway, get out and walk, RM. it's good for you.

are you walking or running today?

i should run, but i dunno...i guess if i decide not to i can go for a stroll

you can do it.

roll tide

we'll see how the afternoon goes...i barely moved yesterday so i'm not very loose today

all that matters is that you're fruity and juicy.

i woke up at 5 am for another six-mile walk. had to use the flashlight on my phone a couple of times on paths that run behind a couple of housing additions. the full moon is still up, but not enough to help cut a path for me to walk on.

my kid has soccer practice this evening, and I'm sure, like the psychopath i am, I'll do some more walking then.

[dad]

another six-miler in the books, folks. hit sub-15min miles--right around 14' 50ish. not bad.

i did go for an afternoon walk at my kid's soccer practice yesterday, and it was brutally hot, and i paid for it. not likely I'll do that again until it cools off.

I'm off to eat and drink plant-based things all day.

except for cheese. i love cheese.

are you trying to lose weight or just get out and be active?

[dad]

active. i'd love to run, but it's too much impact, and i had back surgery in march. plus it's good for me when i get super anxious, which is just about every other second of my life.
