Walking at a Downtown Pace

Parquet Courts – Walking at a Downtown Pace

Today was pretty chilly and gray, a little raw. My mom even had some snow this morning. Thankfully we’re not that far north so it was tolerable but when I went out for my lunch time walk with a friend, I had to zip up that coat that used to be my son’s. FYI, coats for young teenage boys are cut pretty straight and I really had to work to get it zipped.

In the summer when we’re walking, we slow down. Faster than a saunter but not fast. Then we take breaks in the shade to cool off. Today, we had our power walk on. No stopping, walking at a downtown pace. It really gets the blood moving and you warm up pretty quickly. I think we have kind of a reputation for our lunch walks. I need that sunlight, and it’s also my only exercise for the most part. I surpassed my 10,000 steps today so people can chuckle if they like, I am not losing my New York walking cred.
