In spite of the fact that the weather today is typical of the DC-area summer (temperature in the high 80s with super-high humidity), I had promised myself that I would take a walk today. So I did.
And guess what? I walked ELEVEN miles. I'm feeling happy about that. I know that this only a little over half the distance Mom and I will cover on each day of the 3-Day in October, but considering the weather was as warm as it was, I feel like this is an accomplishment!
The walk went well. I took a 10-minute break halfway through to stretch and refill my water bottle. I actually felt better during the second half than the first--I fell into a really good stride, and the time flew by. I am hoping to keep up with this pattern of walking home from work and longer walks over the weekend. I've had a few people tell me over the past few days that my legs look really toned--how cool is that?!?
As for the confession. For some reason, during the entire walk, I was daydreaming about potato chips and onion dip. I have no idea why. I don't think I've even had onion dip since my senior year of college. But I couldn't stop thinking about this tasty, albeit unhealthy, snack. So, during the last mile of the walk, when I passed by the neighborhood Giant, I stopped in and purchased some (baked) Ruffles and (low-fat) onion dip, and I had some when I got home. YUMMY!! That is the end of my confession. :)
