I feel good

This whole walking thing is really what the doctor ordered. Each day I feel like I can do more.

Yesterday I felt great. My morning walk seemed to take less effort, even though it was hotter. At lunchtime I got antsy and went ahead and walked back to my car, then realized I had a good 40 minutes left...so I drove down to the North Augusta Boat Dock and Fishing Piers to look around.














I was ecstatic as I wandered around the piers snapping photos. It felt like it had been such a long time since I'd really gone on a photo jaunt. Feeling healthy and energetic made me want to do all the things I enjoy and haven't done lately.

I was having such a good time, in fact, that I recorded--and later uploaded!--a video of myself.


Last night I had to run an errand, so I couldn't go biking--and it actually started to rain on and off after work anyway. But I still managed to cook dinner, which I ate while watching some Detective Conan. I went to bed on time at 10:30 and woke up this morning naturally at 7 (though my not being able to breathe due to congestion might not be the most "natural" way to awaken).

So far this is going really well. I plan to keep my good habits going into the weekend, though I haven't decided how yet. Biking, probably. Once I've adjusted to doing this I hope to add other things to my schedule that I've been meaning to get to, like a couple of web design projects and my Cowboy Bebop game for the AMRN.

It feels so good to be active again, even if it's only a 15-minute walk here and there. I'll work up to more in time :)

Yes, it's been very hot...but I'm glad I'm doing this walking thing nonetheless. Just need to remember to stay hydrated.

I skipped it yesterday due to getting up late and due to the fact that my left knee was starting to hurt a little, but it was fine today so I walked again.

Beautiful photos, and it's cool that you're feeling good and doing the walking/biking thang. I can't wait for my gimpy leg to heal so I can start walking. Just in time for DC to turn into Satan's Furnace. (Grr!)

It's in the 90s here now. Spring is so fleeting...
