Taking proper walks again

During my last health check up, the doctor had told me that, according to my level of activities, I was having a sedentary life, which isn't great for a man my age. I had been wanting to be more active since then. Call it laziness, call it procrastination, but I hadn't really got into it. It is only recently that I have started talking proper walks again, I mean walks that last longer than a few minutes. First to go to Wolfie's school for his sports day. I had to stand a whole morning in the rain. Then walk back home to work. Then on Saturday I went downtown on foot for an eye exam and to run some errands. Then again on Sunday, this time as a family, we decided to take a walk in the neighbourhood. It was rather enjoyable, but my muscles were in pain, especially my legs'. I intend to increase my level of activities in the future. In spite of the pain, it made me feel really good. And walking is quite pleasant as itself, especially in the nice little town where we live.

If you can or would enjoy it, I highly recommend getting a dog. You have no choice, rain or shine, to get out twice a day for a walk!
