We’re walking, we’re walking…..

I did it ! Woo hoo !! Actually, I’ve done it three times now. When I first came down to Florida to get moving and get healthy I could barely walk 1/2 mile without being winded. I was so out of shape from working from home, it was horrible. Well, last week, I decided to try “walking the bridge”. Over the 11 months I have been here I have steadily increased my walking and my weight loss and can fairly easily walk a mile on any given day, probably more.
Well, there is a bridge here called the Peace River Bridge. It has a walking path on both sides and people walk it every day. It is approximately 1.5 miles each way. Well, last Monday, I think, I got up and decided I was going to walk it. I put my shoes on, grabbed my iPod and a bottle of juice and drove up to the Best Western parking lot, where I was going to start. I wasn’t sure if I would go all the way over and back or half way and back or what but I felt it was time to give it a try. I checked my watch and headed off. One hour later I was back at my car and I had walked all the way over and back. Woo hoo !! 3 miles with ups and downs.
This week I made a plan to start walking it on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. On Tuesday, I took the following pictures with my mobile phone as I walked….so here is picture narrative on “walking the bridge” :
