walking like a turtle

Walking Like A Turtle

In a little while, I will go for my daily walk. Sometimes I walk so slow that I feel I must have been a turtle in my previous life. But that's okay, I do what I can and when I can. I figure that as long as I move, I am doing something good for myself. In my younger days, I did a little jogging, but can't anymore. I loved jogging when I could, it was such a wonderful feeling. Who knows maybe one day, I will be able to walk faster and faster. I am not giving up yet. Do you enjoy walking? Graphics: PIXABAY

I love walking my friend..I just dont get to do it as often as I would like. Even if we are walking slow, it is still exercise.

I never get "a high" though from walking slow. I used to jog a bit and used to get "highs" that I can still remember.

I can relate to this, I just love walking, and since I've read many discussions of you walking indoors, I've even tried that and its not so bad. Happy trails my friend.

I must say that I used to be like this: trying to pass everyone ahead of me, it was fun then. Can't do this anymore unfortunately.

I do not walk often any more as I am in the garden a lot. Both have their place, and I need to get some walking in as nothing is better. As I am consistent I think I get faster and can go further.

I can't say I particularly enjoy it, but I do it to get some exercise. I used to enjoy it a lot more when I had a dog.

I like to walk too, and did so for many years until the people started letting their dogs run lose. I hate when a dog comes running towards me that I don't know. Scares the living daylights out of me. I have no idea if this is a friendly dog or not.

Dogs should not be let loose on the streets and sidewalks. Isn't there a bylaw for that in your town?

@fishtiger58 We are lucky as we have a huge concrete floor basement unfinished and we can walk there any time of the year. No dogs, no rain, no snow, no heat. Perfect condition all the time.

@marlina Yes there sure is but nothing is ever done about it. I even talked to the mayor about it but still nothing is done about it. I wish they would I would love to start walking again.
