work out & yard work
For me yard work is a work out…..but this post covers yesterday and today.
Yesterday morning I went with my Dad to be a part of the local MS walk in Gallatin, TN. We walked 5 miles in an hour, that’s a record for me! I think I’ve done 5 miles on the treadmill before, but it took me over an hour, and that was a long time ago. It was nice to walk with Dad, we were able to talk and laugh. The time went by quickly and I even managed to run a bit here and there. I had been concerned that I wouldn’t be able to do it, but I made it, so that was a good thing!
This morning I woke up a bit sore from walking yesterday, but it was time to mow the yard again and I really wanted the exercise. I fully intended to push mow the whole yard again, but I think my body wasn’t in agreement with my mind. After mowing the front, sides, and a little bit of the back I wimped out and finished up with the riding mower. I think it was still a pretty good work out.
I may not be able to walk tomorrow.

Thank you for walking with me sweetie. I enjoyed the walk with you and Karen and for you running some to push me to keep up. By running a little I think our time was improved. Love, Dad
