Walking for Exercise...aka...humiliation on the grand scale


OK, since I had put on a remarkable amount of weight before, during and after having my children and I am heading face first, smack dab into my forties....I decided to exercise for the first time in a while. I have a coworker who has mapped out some challenging walks in the beautiful farmlands that surround my office park....


Walking adventure part I


Fact:
If you can't talk while you are walking because you are panting or vomiting, you could either be walking with a very challenging partner or are very out of shape... (on my account both)


Fact:
The beautiful farmlands in New England are usually surrounded by stone walls.


Fact:
Stone walls are a great place for snakes to hide out


Fact:
I am petrified of snakes


Fact:
Snakes don't react when you scream


Fact:
Horses and humans react when you scream


Fact:
Snakes react when you throw water bottles at them


Fact:
Walking on a hot day without a water bottle can result in dehydration.....


Walking Adventure Part II


Fact:
The more you walk the better you get at it


Fact:
If you lose a bit of weight by walking sometimes you get cocky and try to run


Fact or possible opinion:
If you wore an outfit to step aerobics 10 years ago, you may look silly running in it now..


Fact:
The UBER people who live in the McMansion neighborhoods near me, know immediately when someone doesn't belong in their neighborhood.

Fact:
People in the UBERHOOD near me like to "high five" you when you run.


Fact:
I don't like people "high fiving me"


Fact:
People who live in uberneighborhoods who high five don't like being screamed at or having water bottles thrown at them....

"Fact or possible opinion:

Oh and McMansions are as obnoxious as escaladevolvomobiles. (To borrow a phrase from you, which I love!)

I think it would be fun to throw water bottles at the people in the Ubberhood!

Ha! You just made me laugh outloud. And reminded me why I don't walk when I can drive. Or just stroll really slowly.

The part I hate the most about walking is all the perky college freshmen that run on the walking path as I'm walking there. There's nothing that takes away that endorphine buzz quite like realizing I couldn't fit a leg into their entire jogging outfit!

ROFL - I love the Joan Rivers quote... and, of course, all the facts I never knew before :)

Very funny! I can definately relate to your facts, except that I have to wear a silly military pt uniform instead of jazzercisewear. Still get the same looks though! And I hate snakes and high 5s too!

Oooo, you have inspired me to carry extra water bottles around to chuck at random McMansions. Hate those things. Snakes don't bother me though.
