It dropped below 80 Degrees for the first time in a long time. The Humidity is still crushing at 76% . But I decided to go form my walk around the nearby lake. 1.5 miles is one loop. I usually try and break 20 minutes for the first mile, and 21 minutes for the second mile. Anything under 20 minutes a mile (3 miles an hour) is really flying for me. My normal walking pace is a very relaxed 2.4 miles an hour...and if I hurry, I can bump that up to 2.8 Miles an hour. So yes, you and everyone you know would leave me in the dust. LOL
I was only able to get two long walks (1.5 miles or a bit more) in all of June. One in the good old USA, and one up in Canada. So my body really wanted to get outdoors. I don't usually walk at night. I prefer mornings. But tonight when the Temp finally dropped. I was out the door. First mile: 17:21. Yikes! Second mile: 19 Flat. I even broke a sweat...okay, okay, I know, with almost 80% humidity, breaking a sweat is easy, getting it to cool you down... is the hard part.
So not only happy I walked, but in record times too!
And I stopped to smell the one Magnolia Flower on this small tree. Right next to it towers a regular Magnolia tree...they smell beautiful. And this one was truly fragrant. You could smell it yards away.
I love the smell, but if you have one of those trees in your yard...well, get a rake. You are going to need it...all year.
Time for supper.

Oh, but the walks you have done! I know because of my bones and spine, it is only a matter of time. But I remember my eldest daughter getting in the Surgeons Face:
"No,YOU don't understand. My Dad has been waling since he was two years old. He walks like most people breathe or have a heartbeat. Don't ever tell him to stop walking. He will find a way, and your job is to help him!"
I was so proud of her. And I am walking. Sometimes, it is only the driveway...but I am out there. But the walks you have done in your life...those had a lot more rough spots than mine, and that means they are in your memory banks.

Reminded me of, Snagglepuss, "Hello trees, Hello sky, Hello world"!
"Heavens to Murgatroyd!"
"Exit, stage left"
"Heavens to Murgatroyd!"
