Confession

I have a confession to make; we haven't been walking like we should, we really haven't been walking at all. It's just been too cold! I realize we only live in Oklahoma and it isn't as cold as it gets further north, but cold is cold!

However, I have to say, I walk an awful lot at work. I work in a four story hotel and I do the stairs instead of the elevator when I don't have my trolley with me or carrying a load of something. I take the stairs most of the time. On my breaks I will walk up one flight and walk the hall, up another flight and walk the hall, up the fourth flight and walk the hall, then I do it in reverse going down. It takes me the whole break which is about 15 minutes. I'm always winded by the time I get back to my office. I do this twice a day and it seems to be helping. My diabetic numbers have been really good!

Because of this, we walked the trail to the lake from our apartments and then about a kilometer from there and then back. The whole thing is about 3K. I didn't get very winded, but Scott did. He said this is, more than likely, from doing the stairs and all the walking.

So, when we are on pilgrimage, I should be able to take the stairs of a hotel very easily!
ha!

Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment!

I hope you have many blessings for your pilgrimage as well! Interestingly enough, my home parish is actually named for St. James.
And have fun on those pilgrimage stairs too! :)
