My intent is to get back to regular outdoor walking. My partner and I had made a plan to get out once or twice a week for a good, long* (*moderately "long") outdoor walk. Among my few conditions for outdoor walking was the ground be smooth (no broken sidewalks) so that I don't fall into the habit of keeping my eyes glued to the ground but, with occasional snap-looks down to check for hazards, to enjoy the bigger world through which I'm walking. When my Skechers arrive, my partner and I intend to resume our outdoor walking plan.
