Moonless Walk

Aug 30, 2011 by Naomi.

Walking is the best form of exercise I’m told and it is especially rewarding on balmy days like today. After meeting with the interesting group “Drinking Liberally” at the Red Lion Motel, I walked along the river dark, though it was, the sidewalk sort of shined before me so I had no difficulty in following. I really did not intend to do a river walk but I left our meeting through an outside door that I thought would be a shortcut to my car. Well it turned out to be longer by far than it should have been and harder on my feet than my back yard earthen path but what a great outing it was! I went along the river where there are no street lights so I’m happy to have good night vision. I was not the only person taking advantage of the pleasant evening, several people passed me, one even at a jogging speed overtook me from behind which surprised me. Really worried me a bit but the individual didn’t cause anybody to hesitate or stumble so why not run if they chose. My drink for the evening was root beer so I was in fine shape for a night walk. I dragged the waste bin to the sidewalk for tomorrow’s pickup and put the recycle and yard waste bins out too. Now I am all set for a sleep-in tomorrow.
