the shopping center workout.

It's kind-of like mall walking. But in a strip shopping center.

A few weeks ago a stone hit my windshield and it cracked. I've been delaying the inevitable. Today was the day.

I made arrangements with Bonnie to meet at the car dealer. We were going to park at the shopping center and then take the 3-mile loop around the block. But Mother Nature had other plans. It rained.

I needed to go to Giant. So we decided to park at Giant, walk under cover down to the pet store and go around the bigger stores. Up and down the aisles.

First stop was back to Marshall's, but they weren't open. Then it was to the pet store and they weren't open for another 10 minutes. So we headed over to Rite Aid and finally started. First Rite Aid, then the pet store, the dollar store, Staples (too a long time) and finally Giant, picking up groceries.

Now you might be laughing uncontrollably by now but we go almost 2.5 miles in! Not bad for walking up and down aisles.

And in all those stores only one sales clerk asked if were were looking for something. One.
