People who see me think I am nuts. I look pretty normal. My color is good. I have hair. And I certainly am not emaciated. Once I get up to speed, my walking looks pretty good too. But I have taken to walking on the walkway outside our condo, the same one I used two years ago when I could not really walk anywhere else. Last year I always had someone with me when taking a walk out side. Now no one is with us so I have only Ken to walk with me. He often does not wish to walk. I am a bit anxious walking by myself so I have decided to walk outside my own door.
When you come to our condo on the elevator to the 7th floor, you walk along a balcony overlooking the mountains. The walkway, which is about 10 foot wide, is covered and has a hand rail the whole way. The walkway runs along the width of the building so it is a wonderful place to walk. The floor is also perfectly flat so I do not need to look constantly at my feet. I have decided to walk along the walkway when ever I need to walk alone.
The late afternoon is the best time to walk because the sun sets over the Pacific, on the opposite side of the building. With a breeze from the mountains, my walks are perfect. The big difference for me walking this year compared to two years ago is that now I can charge along and make as many trips as I want without singing my marching songs to keep me going. Now that is progress.
