raloriaOkay, so at first the idea of walking today was the furthest thing from my mind. I went through all the excuses: it's raining, now it's not raining, but it's windy, it's too cold... In the end though, I did it anyway. But I gotta admit, it would be easier if the weather would be more pleasant. *sigh*
Yesterday it was rain and today it was wind. Sheesh. At one point a tiny twig flew off a tree and hit me in the cheek! Ouch! Point number one of why it's not always best to go walking during gusty winds around here. Lots of trees and things like twigs and possibly branches blowing off of those trees. Not to mention the 6 inch pine cones. Yikes. Anyway, I didn't get beaned in the head with a pine cone, so I guess I should feel lucky.
Found a great new site to map out my walking routes! Gmaps Pedometer! I walked a different route today, going into our adjoining neighborhood, Cherry Park. Then I came back and did the medium loop in our neighborhood. According to the site that equals 1.25 miles and I burned 230 calories! Woot!
Notes For Today's Walk:
:: Another project to keep track of! Someone's starting to build a fence at a house 2 streets over from us.
:: The freeway was sooooo loud today! OMG!
:: At one point in Cherry Park I could actually see the freeway! So glad that I don't live in one of those houses, closest to the freeway. I think the noise would drive me nuts.
:: It was nice to see some new scenery, so to speak. I needed the change.
:: The smell of smoke was strong in the air. Lots of people using their chimneys today.
