Walking

When I saw my cardiologist last week, she encouraged me to continue the low sodium diet, the diuretics, and she also told me that I should try to get more excersize. My dad was with me, and heard the doctor tell me this. After leaving that visit, he asked me if I'd want to start walking with him! We talked about how we could go to the Centre (Elgin has it's own rec center) and walk the track for free.

Yesterday we went over there to check it all out. (Then we followed that by buying new walking shoes for Daddy.) But today we started our walking. The track is 1/8 of a mile. So we walked the track 4 laps and took a break. (Don't laugh! You are listening to a story from two people that seriously do not excersize.) Then we got back out there and did another 4 laps to bring us our one mile. It felt good by the end... we were a little tired but we did it! And we plan to continue doing it! It's fun to get the excersize, but it's neat to spend that time with my dad, too. (Don't roll your eyes, Daddy... I think I can hear you rolling them from all the way across town.)

Oh... and ps: I'm still working on my latest vacation post. It's sure a lot of work!
