surviving the sweat

That's right, ladies, that tag says "exercise" - I actually left the house today for real, honest-to-goodness, sweat-inducing exercise. There are lots of walking trails near my new home, and I said from the beginning that I would take advantage of them, so today I struck out for a 45-minute walk. With my iShuffle playing encouraging tunes, it wasn't too bad (I highly recommend Johnny Cash tunes as sung by Joaquin Phoenix; it's hard not to bounce along to Ring of Fire).

I was also wearing the new tennis shoes I bought yesterday. I never, ever wear tennis shoes; the only reason I own any is because of my exercise attempts. Since my old pair is at least eight years old and pretty worn down, I decided to invest in my feet and buy a pair of Asics. Love the cushiony support - and the little blue racing stripe makes me feel very athletic.
