Well...I did get back to it this week - we had a moderately nice day on Thursday & my winter walking pal dropped in to pick up something she forget here earlier. We said, "well, we've got a little time, let's take a walk..." and we went 5 miles in about 90 minutes! We were a bit swaty and definitely tired, but it felt so good! Yesterday we went on a 'venture with our 3 littles 9 (2 yo next door has joined our gang.) Took a group, including Moms & Auntie, to a nearby historic farm, where they got to pet & feed the animals, sort some apples, winnow a little grain - and we walked over 3 miles - even the kids. Came home & cooled off in the shade with fresh peaches - it was 94F. Today my daughter and I did 3+ very humid miles visiting a local Art Fair. It was our long-delayed day outing. Now that I have 3 days in, I feel motivated to continue. Have to get in walking shape for our State Fair later this month - I will be there at least 5 days again volunteering and take advantage of the free tickets to spend the day each time.
@imallears FL Mary - I'm with you, in June we were walking in Texas at 6:30 am. The up-side to that was the night-blooming cactus were still in full flower and the spider webs were sparkling with dew.

That’s a whole lot of walking but at least you had a destination….that makes a big difference. We just have the same old route walking around the same old streets waving at people we don’t know in cars. You have to get in a car and drive to anyplace interesting to walk and it’s just too dang dark to do that right now. In the fall, walking in the Tarpon Springs area around the canals is great…get to see dolphins…..but it takes a minimum of 20 minutes to drive there. My walking is just exercise…not too much fun unless you have someone with you or meet one of the walkers along the way. Even the deer are hiding from the heat lately.
