It has been HOT! And the heat has kept me from walking in the middle of the day like I did in the Spring. In fact, Alex and I went bicycle riding a few weeks ago when it was only 94½°outside and we both suffered symptoms of severe heat exhaustion.
But, I have worked out a plan to keep walking regularly. I made an mp3 recording of my custom version of the Ecumenical Rosary. I did it to remind me of significant scripture I am trying to memorize and to remind me of 50 persons I specifically want to pray for each day. The recording is 40-50 minutes long.
Now each morning I get up about 6:30, put on my mp3 player, start up the push mower, and begin walking. I am able to get some of my yard mowed every day. I get in at least 40 minutes of walking, which is in keeping with my covenant. I am focused, which keeps me from mowing the lawn instead of doing some other work.
I confess that I have not been consistently practicing this plan, but I am motivated to keep working at it (sounds bizarre doesn't it). But I like the plan and I like the feeling I have. Healthier. Could it be that I feel a little smaller?
