Gee wiz! Got up this morning and February is home from vacation. MAN!! 24 degrees this morning. Frozen water for dogs and the whole 9 yards. I had all but turned the house heat off. I was enjoying the spring temps and now… deep freeze!
As I suspected, these average February temps are hurting pretty bad after the April temps we’ve been having the past couple weeks. Now I need to decide if I’m brave enough to continue walking in the cold or if I need to figure a different solution. If I quit completely now, I’m afraid that will be the end of it. I’m up to walking a total of about 5 miles a day, and I don’t want to start all over in a few weeks.
I can tell such a big difference in my ability to move and my attitude. This morning I was planning to sleep in, but the mutts both decided that was a bad idea. Got me up at six. I let them out and came back in to be surprised I am not tired and don’t want to go back to bed. So I started my day early which pleases me. Attitude again. Yesterday when I took the dogs for a ride, I was able to pull myself up on the back bumper MUCH easier than before. Just one week and a HUGE difference.
So… thinking I get a better workout on the road because of the hills, but a few good laps through Walmart or Lowes beats sitting still all day long.
Either way, sitting here typing is only giving my fingers a workout. Will report later –
