Walkies
Nice walk again today. I think I’ve discovered that what Dianne M. told me is correct: listening to music or recorded books is a distraction that ends up making the walk harder, not easier. In fact, cognitive dissonance reduction ensures that listening to music while you walk will make you view walking as more difficult—else why would I be trying to distract myself when I do it?
OTOH, carrying a camera makes the walk entertaining in itself—and I do note that walking is seeming easier this time: the distances don’t seem so long, and the time flies by. And, of course, I’m looking around more and enjoying the break.
It’s certainly not the MBT shoes, though I do like walking in them. As they point out, your calves will work harder with MBT shoes than regular shoes—which is all to the good, since I walk for exercise.
One thing I saw today is a couple of deer from the Pacific Grove herd:
And a jade plant in bloom:
A morning glory:
Geraniums (?):
And, finally, some sort of iris (?):
