Day 5 of walking featured...


My legs being more sore than on any day yet.  Waking up earlier, but going anyway, even though I wanted to just roll over and go back to sleep.  A woman taking her dog for a long walk (she was in my field of vision for four blocks before disappearing) in what appeared to be her outfit from a very late night on the town (dress and high heels).  Finally catching sight of the baker whose bakery I walk by every morning with the door open and the pleasant odor of his wares wafting out the opened door.  Noticing for the first time that there's a small bowl of what appears to be little candies in the window of the adult pleasure store.  A pile of cups atop the trash can next to the bus stop, all apparently placed there because the bag inside the can is stuffed full of trash. 

Tomorrow is the day I'm scheduled to rest.  I'm wondering if I will actually rest, or if I'll force myself out for at least a few minutes of walking.  Why?  Because I'm scared of just how stiff I might be on Monday if I don't at least walk a little tomorrow.

Any of my family who wonders what I might want for my birthday should know, the answer is now a gift certificate for a one hour full-body massage at the Just Massage in El Segundo.  Maybe if we can win trivia on Tuesday and Wednesday both one week, I'll indulge myself.
