Gym Is Open (Saturday)
For the first time ever, I went for a long walk in the park. We have a beautiful metropark with a large wooded hiking area. The paths are paved or made of wood planks. It was about 50 degrees here and very sunny. The skies were blue, the birds were out, and I walked about half a mile. My knees didn't seem to mind. My ankles complained slightly. I know swimming and water aerobics will be my primary exercise for a while, but I really enjoyed the park. I think of it as ankle strengthening for next winter when I want to learn to skate (I'm a huge Red Wings fan).
I know I need to swim laps. That'll be Monday.
