Cold Thighs

So for the last week or so I have been walking almost every day in the morning with my friend aka cubby buddy, Yolanda (pictured below)

Its great, she's crazy like me and so we have a lot of fun walking and talking together and acting like totally ghetto black chicks (despite be being a super white bread girl). But this morning she had left her phone at a friends house. I had hopes that even though she didn't have her phone that she would still show up at our normal time. Nope. I later got a text from her after she got it back that she had to take her dad to a doctor's appt. Which is way more important, her dad isn't well.

Anyway, so even though I had hopes of her showing up without any conformation, I still went. I told myself "just because you don't have the ok from her doesn't mean you shouldn't do it for yourself!" SO, I got dressed and headed to our normal spot. We normally walk on the Olympic Discovery Trail from from The Railroad Bridge Park to the road in Carlsborg then head back. But this time I was alone with just me and my music, so I went to the airport and back! Check photo below for idea..

I'm not quite sure how far that is, maybe 5 miles round trip? I need to get one of those counter things that tells you how far you walk. So little to say I feel GREAT having done that! But someday this will be my goal:

I don't know if Yolanda would be down for that, but we'll see, maybe someday after we have each lost 20 more pounds?? Someday..But for right now, I'm happy what I've done, even if it was freaking 40 degrees outside and I was so cold I couldn't feel half my body. It will warm up eventually.

  1. Wow, that is quite the jaunt! It always helps to have someone with you. I used to have a friend that lived in the same neighborhood as me. We had a 4 mile loop that we would walk. One day we must have gone crazy and decided to try and jog it (both of us HATE jogging!). We managed to jog 3 miles of it just by chatting and distracting each other!!! It was incredible! Ok, so we never did it again but having a buddy totally helps!
