28 days

Day 28: Keep that spring in your step
Saturday March 26 2011
Each time I walk on the beaches of Waikiki on an early Saturday morning, I am surprised by the number of people that are out doing their daily stroll: locals and tourists. People are running, jogging, walking briskly. It is as if their vacation did not put a damper on their workout regime. There were periods in my life where I was the same way. 8 day cruise to the Carribbean, I spent 6/8 days in the gym on a cruise ship. I felt it was necessary to run to circumnavigate the buffets. Nowadays if I travelled, it is more of an excuse to not exercise.
But I admire these people. And I need to make my walks with the dogs and myself fun.
i bought these athletic specialty shoes. The ones that make your balance slightly unstable to harden your core, tone your legs and butt. I have seen these shoes for years, always wondering, “does it really make a difference?” And so finally I purchased them. With the day being the first time using them, as I walked the dogs. It truly did feel different. Walking became a new process in stabilizing my body to the shoes and new balance. I am incorporating my workout into the task of walking the dogs. InHawaii generally when I step out of the house I wear flip flops or Birkenstocks. With wearing socks and athletic shoes it made me feel more athletic than just regular laid back. I felt like I was one of those official walkers, who walk purposefully. This will be transformation of my old routine to new.

I realized too that when your feet are comfortable and cushioned, walking is a completely different experience than simply dragging your feet.
