Conclusive Friday

Walking the Talk (14)

Today was my anniversary of one week of being here where I am.  I literally have been able to meet some people of all sorts but I have kept to my agenda of getting settled in which was one of ease.  Then I could see that there were so many trails that I have literally done my own respite coupled with exercise. Fortunately I am staying with a family and there is always that small talk as well as a respectful between us all.  Last Monday I wasn’t too sure of where everything.  I have been eating very well  as well the reason which I did come out here was by way of a friend of a friends.  I am not one for sitting idle and the weather is much better than what one would ever have expected for a winter which is nearly over.

This morning I called to this school which has within it a public gym.  I went over and met with the gym teacher as well as a very nice lady whom is the principal’s administrative assistant and after a talk they invited me to come back and try it out.  When I arrived home, I had lunch and then was off to do some necessary things and then I went to the gym.  I will tell ya that, when you snooze you lose.  As in no way or shape or form was I in the same shape as I thought I was when I was cross training everyday.  I ran for half an hour and then I hit the gym and focused on lats, abs, as well as deltoids.  Come this next week I will do three days of cross training and the other half of hiking.  I have done more within the last week than I have done within two months when I take everything into consideration.  The gym is adjacent to the school which is very decent.  It has everything there and man I can tell ya that each and every day I have ached but this weekend I am taking two days off and then shall be back at it on Monday.  I plan this next week to do Monday, Wednesday, and Friday cross training and then Tuesdays and Thursdays hiking and jogging. 

Right now I walk mostly to everywhere I have to go and I would guess that most would see this as boring but I am enjoying most all within this town.  After two weeks I have documented my progress and after the end of next week I will review my progress.  I have never done so much outdoors at this time of year but the weather has been supreme – there is even part of this town where the snow is nearly all gone.  Aside of this, there really isn’t anything else to say at this point but for being one our south of my city I don’t miss it yet I do keep up to date with friends from the city.  So my mindset has been on eating the proper foods and then half the day has been training and the other half has been meeting a few people as well as just things which I had never been able to.  As I was so busy tending to family matters first and foremost rather than the other way around.

The weekend is here and I would never believed so many avenues would open and yet they have.  Sure within a small town there are people whom are pondering who I am perhaps.  But what I believe in is that taking action has come to bring about many things and I have been enjoying this time and I don’t factor in when I will return, as for right now this is definitely home.  Mind you I have never seen so many older folks yet they are really young at heart.

  3. Granny this is truly great and my intentions seeming are right within motion without "other things" which
    you do know of. But where there is a will there is certainly a way. One goal out of all of this is to render
    back one area which I had done for so many years. I believe I can.

  4. each time you walked out of the scene, you're missed Jack. Am glad you find enjoyment where you are in right now. Take the time. And mind ... i love so too, the company of older folk than the ones my age. I find wisdom in what they are saying, althou' not all older folks are the same. And so i pick up the good things and leave behind what isn't good and proper. tight hugs
