At last....

Finaly got to go out for my usual walking session today. Although the weather forecast has been saying we are in for a really snowy week with subzero temps, its not really been like that. Sure its been cold but nothing special, so today after a few days doing the Zumba, i went out for my usual 5 mile walk.

I enjoyed my 13,000 steps today, and the biggest thing i noticed and probably thanks to my three days of dancing with Zumba, is how light i felt on my feet.

This is hard to explain what i mean, but one thing i noticed when i had been walking for a few weeks and my fitness levels were up, i still couldn't spontaneously skip up steps or skip up on the kerb.. I still felt heavy in my legs even though they were now strong enough.

I seem to think over time that your body either forgets how to leap into action, or becomes stuck in a rut so it doesnt want to.

To cut a long story short, today i was deliberately skipping up the kerb, then back down again as i was walking along, you know, a bit like a kid does as he/she is playing in the street.. (flash back to singing in the rain)



People must have thought i was loopy, but i dont much care.....
