Getting back to it!
I tried to motivate myself by reading other peoples stories, by thinking of why I had decided to do this in the first place, by telling myself that not only does the cause need this but I need this! So I took a new direction. The weather had finally warmed so I decided to try walking in the park (Municiple 'Langan' Park). I had to figure out when I could do this. It wasn't like walking downstairs to the gym. Again I decide afternoons would be best, I had to time it right though so that I could get there, walk and head to get the girls without getting stuck in crazy Mobile traffic. Since I had never actually 'walked' at the park, I had no idea what was there in the way of paths, sidewalks, trails, etc. The first day, I just picked a sidewalk and started walking. I knew that if I walked for about 30 minutes it would be about 1.5 miles so I walked for about 15 minutes then turned around and walked back. I didn't want to go off on some trail somewhere and it take me an hour and a half to get back. Anyway, I enjoyed that walk. The sun was out, the wind was blowing, birds chirping (some where squawking...there are lots of seagulls there). It was nice. The next time I decided to make a loop around and on that walk I found a trail map on a little post so now I could see where the paths met. Cool... Again I enjoyed the walk, I could feel my motivation being renewed. Yea!
