New Question

"All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. "
- Ralph Waldo Emerson 

While yesterday we were out and about doing a lot as well as going to Freddy to try to meet up with Trev's parents. I don't really feel like the walk we had at the Cove really amounted to much. Everything you do counts for something but I like the feeling I get when I know I've done all I can or something substantial.

I had the strangest feeling yesterday when we were doing the Cove trail. I'm not sure if it was because I left my sandals on instead of putting on my shoes (will not happen again!!), but it felt like my brain was smashing against its case with every step I took. Perhaps it was my bad footwear, perhaps it was dehydration.  While we had packed over four liters of water and were down the last liter, maybe it wasn't enough and my body was telling me to stop. I did however walk all the way back to the car even though Trevor offered to come pick me up at the road. I don't think so. If there is something I get stubborn about, its finishing once I start to exercise. If there's only a little further, I want to get there. It's hard to start but once I have, I need to finish.

That is why today I'm not asking myself WWJD but WWKD? What Would Keiffer Do? I know for sure instead of staying inside on a beautiful day, his butts going to be outside doing something or other. So we are planning on going to the Nature Park to walk after I get my next snack into me. We will be doing one of the same trails I've done before but it's been long enough that some of the parts have blurred, so I'm not going to be constantly thinking about whats coming up next. And yes, the stairs will be done. 

So, sans makeup and with one of my ugly boho-gypsy head bands, I will be tackling a trail. There will be sweat and a little hard breathing but when it comes down to it...I'm doing what my body needs, not what my body wants necessarily.


Keep on keeping on,
Gillian
