Hiking

[Pax]

Crankin - usually there are University track and field athletes working out at the same time I'm there. they are fascinating to watch so they keep me entertained. They are so fast! And the watching the high jumpers, pole vaulters, shot putters, and long jumpers has about got me tripping over my own feet trying to follow what they're doing. If they're not there, my honey will walk a few laps with me and chat. All in all it's a decent way to get in a walk.

The only way I can tolerate treadmill or track running or walking is with good music in my ears. Once I got an MP3 player, all of a sudden I could do a treadmill run on any awful-weather day at the gym (in NC where I lived, it was often too hot/humid to be tolerable outside, sometimes raining) and even in Mexico heat and humidity I managed to run at the track with my music. Without it, I would die of boredom and notice every little niggling pain or twinge.

Glad you found out about the gym, Pax! That is an amazing price. I'd be on cloud 9 too!

Hope you feel better soon, Crankin.
