Thoughts on Running/Walking

I walked this morning
. . .  a distance of .63 miles at an average speed of 2.4 mph. That's a 23 minute mile.
'Had to respect a little tweak in my back . . . 
and . . . 
more honestly, there's this good book I wanted to start reading!
So  . . .  with my head in the pages I strolled along and stopped just a few steps past the next leg of my journey:
Crow River Winery!
www.crowriverwinery.com
YES!!!!
The next milestone is a nearby community, Silver Lake!
It is 5.1 miles east of the winery. I'll let you know when I arrive. Maybe we can all stop for lunch at Molly's Cafe!



Sometimes when I'm on the treadmill [and not reading] I daydream ideas:

What if my next virtual journey would be the looping path my blood takes to bring oxygen to all the parts of me that help me keep living and moving? Wouldn't that be cRaZy fun???? Two legs of my journey could really be my two legs!!!     :)
So I did a little research. Hmmmm. According to BODY by Richard Walker, that would be a distance of about 93,000 miles.  WoW!!! I find that fascinating.

This growing focus on moving is gifting me with a renewed interest in the human body.
