What Doesn't Kill You...

what is the end of that? something uplifting and positive, I'm sure.

well, p.t. Joe gave me the go-ahead to WALK. so i've been itchin to do so ever since...yesterday. so, today, when i had 2 hours b4 brad would head to work, i said, "i want to go for a 2 hour walk." i mean if walking is good, running is better, right? if running a couple of miles is good, running a LOT of miles is better, right? and when your muscles start to pull away from the bone and it is a painful NOT good thing...well, doing NOTHING is bad and WALKING is better, RIGHT?

tell me i'm right. or don't. i know i am.

funny thing: my hip muscles (IS there such a thing?) were feeling it! i don't walk slowly. but i also don't do that 'fast-walking' stride thing w/ my arms all up under my armpits and waggin my tail. (i bet yer glad about that!) but i do walk a quick clip. (say that 6 times fast.)

i listened to the end of my mystery story. ON MY JOGGER WALKMAN. yep, dug it outta the bowels of some drawer. no, really, brad listens to cds on it when he's falling asleep and we're not intertwined. so it's been out. but i haven't EXERCISED w/ it for years. and i haven't used it but one UNFORTUNATE day, running, ever since my wonderful aunt and uncle got me my wonderful ipod.

my PREVIOUSLY wonderful ipod. now it's puke. that's a nice term for what it is now. defunct. there. you get the pic. doesn't work. i will hopefully contact apple and hopefully they will send me a brand new one. i've heard of such things happening. even my techie hubby can't get it to do it's thang so, i give up.

for walking, tho, this old jogger thing is okay. it fit in my pocket. the pocket of a coat that i could wear because i was WALKING. and i don't bounce. so, no enell. and no bother w/ the jogger...it didn't bounce in my pocket. so there you have it.

but, walking still isn't very FUN... in other words it's kinda boring. so, i really could not make myself go very far. that's okay. i was feeling it. and a little bit of pain. so i feel okay in stopping.

2.2 miles
36.25 minutes

"fair-to-middlin' " (some phrase my mother uses...i think it means "it was so-so" or "it was okay") ( i hope that's what it means.) it has to be okay. someday i will set out w/...i dunno, a new ipod w/ lots of good songs and perhaps some scripture memory or something. with lots of time and i'll walk like for an hour. it will be my "long walk." i have to be fine w/ that. there MUST be options. or i will not survive and i'll blow up like a balloon. and, as the weather gets better, and IF i get a comfy seat, i can drag out the ole bike and put some SERIOUS mileage on that thing! okay, greg?

the itching is present. accounted for. took 1/2 a benadryl this morn. it is @ it's WORST in morn and night. ugh. a. lug.

but God is good and life is grand!=) God bless!
