Walk, Walk, Walk

The cold weather has been my excuse for weeks for not walking--for exercise, that is. But this week the temperatures soared into the low seventies and there were no excuses. I enlisted the accompaniment of my sister-in-law, Judy, and we have hit the ground running--excuse me, walking. She and I have made a pact to hold each other accountable in this routine and so far we've only missed one day of not following through. Mountville is a wonderful place to walk. There's not much traffic and the three to four mile trek varies depending on our whim at the moment. I expect to see some winter pounds coming off and an increase in energy and stamina. And if one of us is not available to walk, there are a bevy of other friends trying to do the same thing as the weather beckons.
