Buddy's Mama, the Walker

I'm into week 4 of my 8-week lifting cycle. Now that daylight savings is over (hooray!) and there is a decent amount of light out at 6:30 am, and the temps have cooled (crisp and refreshing!), I've rediscovered my first love: walking. When I run in our community, all I can think about it is "Wow, this is so pretty...how much farther?" All those damn hills! It doesn't exactly make for fun running, for me at least. But walking? That's another story. It's awesome. Work has been taking up a lot of my time, so I've been lifting at night and on the weekends. But for the last few days I've gone out for some fresh air in the morning and it's been wonderful. Yes, I have to bundle up considerably (I broke out the mittens today!), but it's much easier to walk in 3 layers than it is to run. I did 3 miles today. Not bad! :)
