Hitting the trail again!

Okay, after the worst winter ever—sick and coughing for two and a half months, two rounds of anbiotics that did nothing, an eventual diagnosis of pleurisy—I am getting back at it!

I really missed my walks. When I was sick and breathless, I could barely make it from room to room let alone walk a mile and a half to work. So I am thrilled to be walking again, especially now that spring has sprung. Birds! Flowers! Heavenly!

Current routine is walk to work, walk one and a half or two miles at lunch, and then walk home. Today I did more than five miles in my raincoat!

I am also pleased to say that, even after months of not doing it, I had no trouble doing 30 situps this morning. To think when I started, five and a half years ago, I had to really struggle to do 20—mostly couldn’t. I may not be perfect, but I have indeed come a long way.
