Had a nice walk through the streets and neighborhoods of Hyde Park last night at 7 pm. I figure we went about 4 miles, as it took us an hour and a half and my regular pace is 3 mi/hr. It was warm out and I definitely noticed some of the hills but realized it was much easier for me to complete this walk than it was for some of the first-timers. So I guess I have come a ways since January.
Still can't keep up with the pacesetters but I did walk for an hour on Loveland Bike Trail last Friday and worked about 3 hours in the garden and swam Saturday. No exercise Sunday, so it's good I walked last night and will walk 9 holes for golf this evening.
For those not familiar with "meetup groups," check them out at www.meetup.com. That's how I found the Tri-State Hiking Club, OKI Trailblazers, and the group I walked with last night. There are meetup groups around all kinds of interests; someone last night told me she's in a Scrabble group. So if you have an interest and want to find people in your local area who share it, this site would be a good resource. I think it works all over the USA, if not the world.
