I just got back from my walk this morning and for once I didn't see another soul out of the streets. Have to admit that the wind was pretty nasty on occasion, but I was already wearing a touk and it took only seconds to pull up the hood to cut the wind.
I have often wondered if anyone would recognize me lol. I have multiple layers on everywhere and sunglasses too. I even mentioned to the family if anyone would think that I was a man out on the walk. The kids just laughed and said that I still looked tiny even with all the layers I had on.
So, another day to add to my list and I might even head out after lunch for one more walk. I really hate the fact that I'm losing muscle as I get older. With all the walking that I'm doing... I should look awesome by summer lol...

I've started to do leg exercises because, like you, I don't want to lose muscle tone. I am in a recliner most of the day and night; so I worry about not being able to walk at all. You will be in great shape by summer.

Gee... can't remember when it last rained... other than the freezing variety! More snow today though and a few inches are in the forecast. Still can't get my head around centimeters ;)

I did it one day in Manitoba just to see if I could make it to the road. It was -40!! Didn't do that again lol. To be honest, there was woods on both side of me, so it could have been a whole lot worse!!!

At least you were well protected against the wind. I do not want to lose muscle, but aging we do.

@hate2iron Bitterly cold and battered by wind here too, but with a lot of sunshine.

I amuse reading this though you're thickly covered and it seems you appear bulky but yet you look tiny.
