My Workout...umm scratch that...My Walk
WOW! What a LONG walk, haha!I just got home about 15 minutes ago. I left around umm...8:10 AM and got home at 9:30 exactly. My goal, as usual, was to find the grocery store. On my way there, I...gosh, I thought about ALOT of things but they don't really mean anything right now, hehe! But umm...on my way, I did stop once to stretch and once to look at the map they had at the beginning of the parkway.
Just walked on and on until I got to Humbolt Ave...big surprise...no store! ARGHHHH!!! I didn't stop...I just kept on walking on by it. Instead of turning around and going back, I turned the corner and walked up one block to get back onto the parkway. From there, I walked straight back home. Didn't even stop like I thought I would to read in the sun. I just wanted to get home.
Funny, on my way home, I was kinda trying to do that childish thing...step on your shadow. That made my walking stride a bit longer than it was supposed to be for it to look natural. Hehe, I looked so dumb. But I was entertained and that does happen very easily.
Really, it is such a nice day that it wasn't so hot. Besides I did walk at a good point of the day, the sun is out but not out long enough to really fry ya. Gentle cool breeze to keep the no-see-um bugs away from ya. I really like walking that parkway...I think I'll walk the other way next time.
See the parkway goes MANY directions. It literally goes all around Minneapolis in a circle, well...more of a crooked circle. But it starts right where I first get off Lake Drive to Victory Memorial Parkway. It starts in an L shape and goes on from those directions. Instead of going east next time, I'll go south. I'm tempted to bring my roller blades, but really, I'm scared of falling down and scraping my knees bad enough. My knee pads don't fit me...they're too small!! Argh!
While I was walking, I remember a few topics...I thought of Matthew, someone I met online last summer. He lived on Queen Ave, a little south of where I was walking on Victory. I'm not gonna go into detail about Matthew, but he's had a bad history and creeps me out. I'm thankful he and I don't talk anymore because he's in the army now. He joined up last Fall and left in January for basic training. So I have no idea what happened to him now. But I just hope he stayed in the army cuz they would straighten him out.
I thought of Troy. I hated knowing that I thought about him. But I couldn't help it. Every time I saw a motorcycle that even resembled a Harley or a Honda Shadow...I had flashbacks. Ugh! Even when I went into the pool, I thought about him, but briefly. Seriously he was ONE huge mistake. Cost me my job and cost me alot of money...in a way.
But one person I didn't mind thinking of was Joe. I was thinking of maybe e-mailing him because I hadn't heard from him since he texted me and let me know that he'd be in touch. I kinda wanted to let him know that I was waiting for him to say something and I wasn't gonna have much time when school came around. Eh, I'm thinking that I'm not gonna say anything. He only says something if I SAY something. Scratch that...
Now...lets see...I'm craving my italian dressing chicken with spinach salad...MMM!!! Ah huh!! I like spinach, who knew?!! If I had money right now, I would have just gone over to Subway next to Cub Foods and got me my favorite, Montery/cheddar bread with grilled chicken breast and spinach with a drizzling of italian dressing....MMMM!!!! Ah lord, thank you for chicken!
My period isn't too bad, but my lower back is beginning to pound, ugh! Okie...time to lie back and read!
* Update: Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention one thing...when I got home from walking, my shirt that I was wearing was SOAKED on the back, I had to take it off and my sports bra also! I felt good knowing that it was wet, hehe! Gross huh? But it reminds me that I took a walk and I got good results from it!
