Yesterday was the Heart Association Walk. Thanks to all of you who supported me - not just by donation, but with good wishes.
I was talked into only doing the 1 mile stretch due to the fact that if I had hurt my knee I would NEVER hear the end of it, so I tried to behave. I really did! It wasn't MY fault they didn't have anybody at the correct cut-off point to turn people around! I admit, I was getting really depressed thinking "Good grief, I really am old if it takes me 30 minutes to walk a half-mile!" Then, as we looped back around and got about half-way back there was a guy yelling" If you're doing the 1 mile, turn here!" So, OK, I did 2 miles in about 45 minutes - not too shabby for somebody who wasn't supposed to walk it at all! Oh, I did take my walking stick which was a HUGE help.
So, another year, another Walk, another goal met. Wonder what's next? |
