six tenths
The first of the year - miles that is - okay, I know that it is only a portion of ONE mile, but a gal’s gotta start SOMEWHERE, right? Right.
The distance from my work place to the highway (or what passes for a highway in Kenai, Alaska) is .3 mile. That means the return trip is another .3 (add a teensy bit for crossing the road twice so as to face oncoming traffic). And, that is the distance I walked today. Ouch! my hips - well, the outside tops of my thighs - HURT! My lower back complained, too.
This pain is why I quit walking after the car accident two summers ago. But quitting walking has just allowed me to pile back on all the weight I had lost. Ugh!
I figure if I take it easy - don’t push for time or distance - sooner rather than later I will be able to not only walk this road, but be able to make a turn at the highway and head either north or south. That’s the way I figure. We’ll see what happens in reality. I’ve done it before so . . . hang in there with me, okay?
