I was able to get to the church today even though the snow was still slippery in my drive and on the road in front of my house. But - it was not packed on the road in front of the church.
I filled my water bottle, grabbed my prayer list, and started walking. I had to stop a couple of times to stretch my legs, but the walk was good. I tried a different pair of shoes today but they were not the reason my thigh muscles did not cramp. I think the reason is that I drank water frequently during the walk. As some of you have pointed out, staying hydrated is a benefit.
As you know, part of my routine is to pray for many people while I am walking. I pray what is called an ecumenical rosary that I have modified. At each of the "small beads" I pray for a person by name asking God to bless them in some special way. I usually get through 30 or 40 names in 35 minutes.
In between the names I read and meditate on a Bible passage. And part of my prayer is the two Great Commandments (Love God; Love Neighbor). As I was meditating on that, I wondered how can I love God with all my mind, all my spirit and all my body? How can I teach someone else to do that?
Any suggestions?
By the way, stretching after the walk is a big help, too.
