So far, I haven't been listening to any music on my walks. Part of this is for safety, part of it is to just decompress and let nothing be in my mind and see where it wanders. On my walk to and from downtown Willoughby, that there were not one, two or three banana peels along the side walk, but a total of six in a 5 mile stretch. I find it odd that they are just black shriveled up and tossed aside. One can argue, they will disintegrate, but why are they there? Is it the same person, just tossing their lunch scrapes? Is it more than one person that is discarding the peels? I've taken alternate routes, and inevitably, I am now finding .. you guessed it. Banana peels here and there. It makes me laugh every time I see one.
Monday and Wednesday of this week, I started waking up at 4 a.m. I'm trying to get in 6 miles before work. Monday, I was close with 5.4. Yesterday I did 5.6. I run out of time as I'm leaving the house at 4:15/4:20 and need to be back by 6 to get ready for work. Tomorrow, I will do a 6.2 mile venture. I've also mapped a nice walk near the lake that will be 7.3. The good news, is the past few mornings, my legs haven't ached/been tired and it's only the lack of time that's stopped the walks.
Saturday, I'll be in Columbus for the Girls Regional Volleyball tournament. I'm already scoping out where I can walk to get in at least 8 miles. I think Sunday will be a nice restful swim in the hotel pool before driving back.
The good news is.. while the scale isn't dropping as I'd hopped, I am able to fit into a pair of jeans comfortably that I haven't been able to fit into for years. Very happy about that. :)
That's all for now.. hope the posts make you smile. and think.... Banana peels? hmmm.. :)
Cheers for now.
