Back to Walking

I'm back to walking in the morning and so far, it has been an interesting week.

I had an odd morning moment yesterday when I encountered another guy walking towards me. We where about 100 yards apart when he stepped into the park and started walking across to the other side. I noticed an LED light come on in his hand. The light got longer and longer and then suddenly, he was twirling a baton as he walked. Majorette Man! It looked pretty cool in the early morning darkness as he spun the lighted baton with alacrity.

On this mornings' walk, I finally broke the 18 minute mile. It took me 18:56 on my first lap and 17:41 on my second. Now I know I can do it. 

The early morning sky has been clear the last two days but I think that is changing as I write. I can already see that it is cloudier now than when I got to work. I think the smoke is coming from Montana. The sun was very filtered as we drove east to Liberty Lake.

I will try to walk tomorrow but the air quality may preclude me from getting out. I'll let you know!
