Walking, Day 2

I completed my second day of my self imposed challenge of 30 walks in 30 days.  I walked at Veteran's Oasis Park, a nice walk around a lake, and some trails out back with little hills to challenge the walk.   Another nice day!

I looked a "how to" and then just thought what the heck, I'll just do my own thing!!

A Walking Challenge

So I woke up on December 1 and decided that I needed something to .... get me motivated again.  I was inspired by an article I read by another woman who is single and in her 60s and she mentioned that she wasn't held accountable to times and checking in with someone else and I realize that I have that same thing:  There's no reason for me to rush home after work each day! 

With that thought in my mind, I decided I would challenge myself to walk every day for 30 days.  I realize that some days I won't be able to head to a park, but walking my neighborhood should do the trick on those days!   

Day 1 :   I walked at Riparian Preserve, it was a beautiful morning! Not only did I get in a 30+ minute walk, but I was also able to hide a few of the Kindness Rocks that I paint and then leave in places around town to brighten someone's day :)   I left the rocks pictured around Riparian Preserve.
