Over 7,000 Steps

Today I took a journey....of  over 7,000 steps and it was amazing. You see I've been walking a little further each day and today when I went walking I had two new companions, a pedometer and a mp3 player. The mp3 player was a great idea it seems my walk was more charged and because I was into the music my mind wasn't on  my feet or legs starting to burn. The pedometer told me just how many steps I took which really surprised me. The trail I've been walking though goes through out our town and it is huge. The portion I walked was about 3.5 miles one way and I had to walk it back. I think that's what I love about walking I can't cheat it. I walk until I think I can't take anymore...then have to turn around and walk the same distance back. There's only one bench along the way and it's in kind of a secluded area so I wouldn't even consider stopping to rest there so this is perfect.

I didn't have my phone or camera on me but next time I'm going to take one and get a picture of this big tree. I don't know why but looking at it today (this is the first time I've gone this far on the trail) it made me think of how strong I really am and that I DO have the ability to reach my goals just as this HUGE tree  was reaching up high into the sky. I have deemed this tree my tree of inspiration. Corny...I know, but oh so true.

Sadly, that's all the workout I got today because me and my husband went out with a friend and didn't get home to late and I'm getting ready for bed. Just wanted to stop by and share my success of the day with you. Tootles!
