What? I Actually Did it Again?!?!?!? ;D

Most of you that know me personally know that I am a one-hit wonder person. I will do something and do it well and then I think, "OK, now I know I can do that thing" and I'm done with it. So, coming from a fairly sedentary lifestyle to walking for an hour two days ago was a pretty big deal. And I was supposed to go yesterday, but I didn't. So, I could have easily blown it off and said to myself, "Yah, oh well. I'll start up again in a couple weeks." BUT NOOOO! I actually went again today! And WOW! It was gorgeous and the walk itself was way easier! I expect the next one to be even easier and someday I'll even run part of the hour!

Do you want to know what motivated me? Yesterday when I was sitting in a movie, just right as it was about over, my right lung started to all-of-a-sudden feel congested. I coughed and coughed until I got a little bit of phlegm. Sorry, that's gross. But it was so weird! I was motivated that I need to keep doing this walking thing so that my body will continue to function well into my old age! Plus, I really don't want dementia like our friend's wife (see last blog post).

So, today it took me 1.5 hours to walk an hour - I stop the clock when I take pictures or rest. Sometimes I rest to catch my breath after going uphill and sometimes I rest because the shade feels so good! That includes travel time to the place I am going to walk. Today it was about a 7 minute drive.

Enjoy the pictures and videos from today. I took the videos sideways today so I hope it looks better!
