Walking 1.11.11

How's that for a date line?
Friday the business of being a pastor got in the way of my walking. Saturday I was feeling less than excellent with cold symptoms so I barely got out of the house. Sunday I only left the house to worship God at Primrose. Monday I did not dare walk in the snow, except for the little walk so I could take some pictures of it.
Tuesday, today, I bravely walked to the church and prepared to make my walking route. I am beginning to really like - even anticipate - this walking and praying! Again I set my timer for 30 minutes and got out my prayer list (you see, I pray for persons by name as I am walking).
Today I got tired and winded so I checked a nearby clock-on-the-wall thinking that my timer had quit on me, but I had not completed my agreed on 30 minutes yet. That either means that I am going faster and farther than before OR I am more out of shape than I previously thought.
When the timer went off, I checked my steps and did a little computation to discover that I had gone just over a mile. That is good, especially considering the stairs I climb. Perhaps some of you can do better - let me know what you did.
Also, I did about 15 minutes of walking on flat surface earlier today. So, I count the day as 45 minutes total walk time! Barely makes up for what I missed but it is a start.
I finished my "exercise" time with a cup of Costa Rican coffee (medium roast). Now that is a good exercise regimen :-)
Until next time - God bless you!
