Super-wife and I just got back from our daily power walk. We did approximately 1.5 miles through our residential neighborhood. We weren't slow and we weren't fast, just older baby-boomer speed. I need to intentionally do this everyday as part of my effort to retool my health habits. We have skipped days because of weather, etc.
I really want to do this. I need to lose the extra weight I'm carrying and I need to start now. As my day starts, I need to be ready for opportunities and obstacles to this effort. I have to get rid of the notion that I've tried to do this before and failed, the idea that I just don't have the willpower or the stamina to stay with it.
My thoughts this morning before I have breakfast says I need to:
I attempted this Nathan Barley-esk video shot to try and demonstrate the wind conditions on the assent to Whernside, the second of the three peaks, on the 'Yorkshire Three Peaks Challlenge'. We finished the 24 mile walk in 11.5 hours, 30 minutes under the 12 hour challenge time. #WIN

This service took place outdoors at the Ethan Allen Homestead June 7th, 2009. Since it was outdoors, there were no microphones. Since there were no microphones, there is no audio. But here are Kevin's thoughts on walking anyway.

There is nature around us...
It's a chance ... running around... discover things.
View life everywhere.
On Monday, Jon wrote what I think must be the most glowing review of anything ever.
He wrote about Camera Obscura and their latest album, My Maudlin Career. Summing up, of the band, he noted...
They have left me feeling as though it is better to walk barefoot and towards a swimming pool than any other way.
Better than bespectacled, from a bullpen, up by one, with Buenas Tardes Amigo on the stadium speakers?
Regardless, Camera Obscura sounds good. Thank you, Jon, for the recommendation.
Honey in the Sun is track 11 on My Maudlin Career.
I shot these one when I still had my film camera, back in 2005.
My first time in San Miguel this was.
