Walking

My wife and I started walking in July. Our goal was to do 3 miles per day and extra miles on the weekend to reach 100 miles per month.We have kept pace so far.There are days when we can't walk together and we have found we don't enjoy that nearly as much as we do walking together.Some mornings we get up at 430-5 and walk , it is much cooler then.
For years I would never just walk after all I was a runner.Then Father Time starts tapping on the door and walking starts to look like an excellent option. I finally convinced Jolene to walk in the rain with me and fortunately the lightening stayed away. It is so important to keep moving and to keep doing things together.
There is a peace found in the early hours of morning . There is also a sense of accomplishment knowing that so few of us ever get up at this time much less go out walking . This goes to show you that if we set our minds on something we can do it. And yes it is better to wear out rather than rust out
