Look over there!

No, it can't be…but it IS!  Jen updated her Daily Mile log to include a 'work-out' (in the loosest sense of the term) today!

Given that my doctor stressed walking as soon as possible and I do have of summertime 5Ks rolling around in my head, I figured I best get a move on.  So, after Nick was all snug and asleep in his bed, Peter helped me change into my 'gear' and 20 minutes later, I was ready to hit the streets.  

From my crocs (feet still too swollen for anything else) to having to wear Pete's jacket (the drains add that oh-so-elegant bulk that I simply must cover, for fear of everyone being way too jealous of their utter chic-ness), I was FLY.  Oh, yes.  I strapped on my GPS, we headed out the door, and 10 minutes later reached the bottom of the steps.

We set out on a cool, crisp evening, with the neighborhood still aglow with Christmas lights.  Now, sure, I had to grab Pete's arm, a stop sign and a speed limit marker, but I did it.  We reached the end of our main drag, turned around and headed back.  I only had to stop those 3 times and managed to do a whopping .6 miles in 26 minutes!

Hey, baby steps, right?  Well, no, a baby would have been miles ahead of me…but I did it and am not so exhausted or in pain that I can't try again tomorrow.  Oh, and if you happen to be in our neighborhood and see what looks like a rather elderly woman shuffling down the street, grasping her husband's arm for dear life, throw her a thumbs up, will you?  I bet I, I mean she, will really appreciate it…
