This morning, I was kind of lazy and couldn't bring myself to go downstairs for my walk. So, I decided to read a few motivational articles about the benefits of walking. And the reading paid off. I soon went downstairs and put the Rocky CD on and off I went. Walking away the cobwebs of the night. Sure feels good to have the mind win for a change! Did you walk today yet?

I go for a thirty minute walk every day. Did you know a walk is good for your brain.

Oh yes, I know that walking is very beneficial to our brain. I always feel smarter after a walk.

Does spending time in Wal-Mart count. I think I walked around there for almost half an hour while I searched out a baby shower gift for my niece's baby shower tomorrow morning.

I do a lot of walking around in Walmart just to walk. Pushing the buggy also gives exercise and besides it is saffer and in the warm months cooler and our supercenter is a good size store

@just4him And with me it is about a two block walk to and then from besides all the time I spend in there, May have to find my pedometer and wear it next time to see how far I walk

@CoralLevang I never had a dog. Do you think you will get a new one soon?

Sometimes a bit of motivation is all it takes. Glad you've done your walking for the moment.

No, but I have to begin soon. Or it will be goodbye to many of my tight fitting clothes.

Think about all the money that you will save if you don't have to buy new clothes. Good luck with the walking.

I jog regularly but there are times when I feel the same way you do. During those occasions, even Rocky could not get me motivated.

The only time that Rocky doesn't do it for me is when I don't feel good physically and can't walk.

We went out for an evening walk too. It does not have a happy ending though. The sky turns dark with storm clouds, and fortunately we had our umbrellas.

No, I have to confess, I did not do any walking today. It was too cold for me to go outside and I don't do much walking around the house, just from here to there and the stairs and down the hall and back down the stairs and across the room.

Well done. I'm sorry to say I haven't walked for a couple of days. I'll try to get back into it next week.

That's great that you can go there 5 days a week. I used to go to the gym too but not anymore. I just walk now.

My walks are often a thing of the past. The senior doesn't like to be left alone, and he'd never be able to keep up.

Glad you got your walk in. I walked outside, as I had some errands to do. I always park my vehicle a good ways away from the stores, so get some extra walking in that way.
