Stepping It Up!

On April 22, 2009 I wrote a post entitled "Step My Game Up". I talked about how it was time to get it together to be a better me. Well since then I have been budgeting better, taking more time for me, seeking a deeper relationship with God, and.....I have been walking.

Walking has been one of the biggest challenges for me. One because I normally just don't go for a walk and two I didn't have any shoes to walk in. Buying tennis shoes is generally not on my things to do list for myself. I had found a person who would train me but I could never find it in my budget to fit that purchase in. I would rather make sure my sons had tennis shoes.



Over the summer my older son went on vacation in Florida. One day he was out shopping at a Nike outlet and called me to ask me what size shoe I wore. I told him that I wanted him to shop for himself. He kept talking and immediately sent me a picture of the shoe he was looking at for me. Well, on the morning that he flew in from Florida he presented me with my new tennis shoes, his younger brother with some Nike outfits, and he took us all to eat at Friday's. How many sixteen year old boys do that?



To date I have been walking 2-3 times a week, for three weeks. At times it hurts and I am trying to realize that Alleve should not be taken like a daily vitamin. And contrary to my cousin's belief, yeah you Lora, I can't do four times around the park yet. I am sticking with my three until further notice!



I am happy with my progress. I talk to God, watch the rabbits eat, and watches as a 60 year old woman passes me twice on the track, and then breaks out into a jog. Maybe I need to step it up a little more huh? ;)
