Brisk Walk ^_^
Feb. 10th, 2010 09:47 amI had a lovely walk this morning. I stopped by the Albertson's grocery around the corner from school earlier. It was a really nice feeling being able to attend to some shopping needs obtaining the transport to get there and then walking to school, with more than enough time before class. It seems like a little thing, but it really makes me happy. I picked up some rye crackers so I can have lots of fiber for lunch. I've finally been taking my metformin medicine, so I need it more than ever. I also finished my secret shopping for Tyson's Valentine's present yay! I feel good, I got some exercise and some things done. On the other hand it was a little hairy getting to school coming towards campus you have to cross a busy road by a blindside and there is no cross walk, they should really put one in! It make me sad that coming directly into the campus once one passes the apartment complex there are no more crosswalks or sidewalks. It makes it difficult and is very pedestrian unfriendly, not to mention dangerous. I really wish that in general America was more pedestrian friendly. The difficulty getting around as a pedestrian, coupled with the status that comes with a car I think really puts people off walking. Which in turn seems to hurt the population's health. It's easier often times to just get in the car, train, or bus. Don't get me wrong, I know that everything being so spread out doesn't really give you much choice most of the time. I just think it would be better if it were more easy to walk from place to place I think it would help a lot of us feel better. That's enough blah blah from me, take care everyone, I'm off to pump some iron lol.
