I've talked at length before about how much I like walking, but as walking has become a regular part of our lifestyle, I haven't mentioned it as much. However, we probably walked more than we ever have this past week. After getting back from Texas on the 6th, I wanted to try to get some more exercise. While Lesley doesn't like to walk as much as I do, she put up with it this past week and especially this weekend.

During the week, I met Lesley after work tree times, which was at least a mile walk for me each time. On Wednesday after work, we walked up a steep hill nearby for me to get my hair cut and then walked around that neighborhood for a little while. On Friday, I met her for lunch, which was a few blocks away from her office. Then, after that, I walked down to the library and then back to the apartment. That night, we walked a mile to a movie theater up a steep hill and then later that night we walked half as far up the same steep hill for dessert. Yesterday, we walked all around downtown and up to another movie theater and then back to the apartment. Then, today, we went to a park and walked two-and-a-half miles there.

In total, we probably walked more than 20 miles over the past week. I don't think we'll keep walking at that pace, and I don't think Lesley would want to, but it feels good to have spent so much time outdoors getting exercise.
