Day #59 - The Search for a Good Walk

It was 50 degrees today; the first such day in a long time.  The warm weather along with my recent healthy eating left me feeling pretty good at lunchtime so I decided to take a walk.  I also decided that I would try to find myself a new place to walk when the weather finally turns better.  There's an unused section of road right near my work that is almost exactly 1 mile if you walk down and back.  While it's ok, it gets boring pretty quick.  I enjoy nature so finding a trail through some woods or something with scenery is preferred.

Anyway I did a quick check online and discovered there's a civil war park within 5 minutes of where I work.  I drove over at lunch time to check it out.  Unfortunately it was way to muddy and there's still snow all over the place, but it looks like it will be a decent trail.  Even better, it's a loop so you don't have to walk down and back (I hate down and back).  It's also 1.25 miles; I walk at about 3 miles/hour so I will have enough time to walk it twice during lunch and get 2.5 miles in. Now I'm excited for the weather to turn so I can walk this trail.

Since the trail was too muddy I decided to improvise and I walked in the major housing development that was adjacent to the park.  With all the looking around at the park I only had time to go 2 miles.  It was nice; Those that have been following would remember that in the beginning of this journey I was trying to walk at lunch time whenever I could.  That sort of fell by the wayside as I put more focus on the smoking and drinking.

All in all it was a pretty good day, my third with focus on eating just healthy food.  Another day in the books; on to tomorrow... Day 60 (and the promise of a big snowstorm!)

Stay Strong!
