Walking

Now that the weather has turned all nice and sunny I’m doing a great deal more walking. I started off by going for a long walk after dinner every other night, but now it has graduated to getting up early to go for an hour’s walk along the seawall before work, and about an hour’s walk each evening too.

I’m really enjoying exploring more of the city, plugged into my ipod and smelling the flowers of spring. I’ve been around various different parks, and walked around expensive neighbourhoods with wide tree-lined streets and huge mansions to look at. It sure beats staying in, watching hockey and drinking, or staying in bed an extra hour.

Still doing a longer hike at the weekend as well, and this Saturday I’ve got 3 hours of pulling up Ivy in the park so that should be good.

When I’m feeling fitter and less of an old arthritic woman, I’m going to think about incorporating different forms of exercise too. When we eventually move to our new apartment I’m going to replace seawall walking with swimming, but that won’t be for many months yet. Maybe it’s time to start seriously thinking about getting back into my badminton.
