And we're walking...

[raloria]

Took my first walk around the neighborhood since...well it's been a very long time I can tell you. I've been waiting for the weather to warm up enough and today wasn't too bad, plus the sun was out. Yay! I've been a couch potato laptop potato for far too long. It's embarrassing. However, with Vancouver Con some 5 months away, I've gotta get myself in better shape. Not only do I want to lose some pounds, but I need to get ready for walking those 5 or so blocks between our hotel and the convention hotel.

Anyway, I thought I'd make posts to track my progress. I plotted out what a mile would be walking the streets in my neighborhood (thank you Google maps!) and did that circuit once today. My tentative plan is to walk Mon-Thurs and then Saturday, since I'm not home normally on Fridays. For a while I'll stick with 1 mile, then gradually build it up.

Notes for Today's Walk:

:: Should have weighed myself first. Need to do that for tomorrow.
:: Saw lots of patches of purple crocuses in people's yards. Spring is on the way!!!
:: Came across the resident neighborhood peacock too. I think I scared him a bit. Ooopsie.
:: Should have worn a scarf to keep my neck warm. Brrrr.
:: Kinda proud of myself for even being able to walk a mile after being such a lazy slouch for so long. Go me! \0/
