Wearing the pedometer has helped me realize how much I enjoy going for walks, not just to get my body moving but as a form of nature therapy. I like being outside, hearing the birds, feeling the sunshine, seeing the trees, mountains, flowers and so on but it's going on walks that gets me outside and beyond my normal scenery.
My Saturday walks with Cathy have had the added bonus of helping us find new paths to take and the companionship to explore them in good company. They have also helped me be good about getting up and out the door early rather than giving in to my natural tendency to linger in bed reading! I always feel better when I'm up and going early and I really love how the day feels around 7:00am.
I intend to walk every day this summer (unless I have some random obligation or illness) as part of my desire to make the most of this time off work. I have been super productive since my last day of work last Thursday and don't want to lose momentum.

I couldn't agree with you more! It is my addiction and I need to get "high" every day! Way to get out!
Good for you! Did Betsy tell you that Josh and Tim helped her set the one you bought her. What an ordeal! It was fun and funny at the same time. I'm sure the thing will blow up.... she never stops....never.
It would be great to have a "girls weekend" with the three of us. Of course Kelly and Lisa would be invited if we could locate them...joke. The three of us is enough. Think about it.
It's great that you are walking and loving it. I love that you share the photos you take- they are beautiful.
I'm jealous that you have been super productive. Maybe if I redefined productive I could feel that way.
I think walking is incredibly therapeutic as well. That's incredible you've worn and used it faithfully for a year now.
Oh good heavens, yes. If you've walked through the winter, you definitely should get to enjoy the summer weather walks.
I love going for walks. Jason and I go almost every night. It has helped his foot a lot.
I really want to get a pedometer also. I think it would be a great motivator to keep moving for the day.
I wish I had this commitment going for me too- you are inspirational!!!
Well, I'm inspired.
