Getting there...

Love walking to Gershwin. That five bucks was probably the best I've spent on a CD in a while. "Rhapsody in Blue" and "An American in Paris" together total thirty-four minutes, which is enough for a full lap around the mall and about a quarter of the next.

I'm starting to see results, too. Not just on the scale and the measuring tape, but I *feel* different. I'm not getting as sore after the walks, and my knee is really starting to improve. Five miles is still a challenge. When five miles gets to be a walk in the park, that'll be a milestone. But the "activity-avoidance" mindset I was in for so long is slowly going away. I look forward to situations where I can add a few steps. I don't mind parking at the far end of the lot and walking. It's really rather nifty.

Step count: 9872. Five figures tomorrow, for sure.
