I have not been walking much. Partly because of lack of interest. Partly because I'm better walking with others. Partly because taking care of my sisters and work is all-time consuming. Pretty much it's an excuse sandwich.
Thursday I emailed Pam and asked if she wanted to walk Friday and she said yes. I had already done my pre-surgery EKG and chest x-ray when I had Pat in for a test on Thursday so I no longer had a Friday appointment. We chose 8:30 at Illicks mill.
The following exchange was begun because of auto correct.
We met in the parking lot and headed down the path of the nature center. When we reached the railroad tracks there was a long train, so we decided to go check out the creek. There was a well worn path running along the creek. So we took it. It's funny how you can live your whole life in a city and discover new areas of a park. At the railroad bridge there was another path and we took that and ended back up at the railroad tracks. I'm not sure if it's because there was no tree cover, but we saw the "Monocacy Way" path and took it to Paint mill Road, then turned around and took the path back to the nature trail, following the path back down to the creek. Then we followed the creek, past the people fishing, to the parking lot.
When I returned home, I took a shower, dusted off my dress shoes and went to my cousin Lucy's funeral. After the funeral it was time for blood work. It might have been around 1 pm. By dinner time the results were starting to come in. They weren't pretty. It was the wakeup call I needed.
Miles/Steps: less than 3
Weather: mid-50s, overcast, breezy
Wildlife: 6 mallards, woodpeckers heard in the distance. Actually few geese. Maybe they were on a drug run.
