Walking

Brock is reading a book about how to be healthy. One of the things that the book talks about is walking. Other countries walk 10 to 100 times more than Americans in a day. They walk to work and to the store or restaurants. We drive everywhere. Some of that is because everything is so spread out in the U.S. If you go to European countries, you can walk to wherever you need to go.

I began to think about it, and realized that we try to get a good parking spot at the gym. It doesn't make much sense. So, we've made a few changes. Brock now parks at the back of any parking lot in order to walk further. Also, we try to walk for an hour a day outside. Luckily, the weather has been good so far.

You wouldn't believe how much better it makes you feel just to be walking out in the fresh air! Even if you are walking around a city, it feels good. While doing these conference tours, we are getting our walking in. We walk to and from the convention center and to restaurants. We walk around in the convention center alot. My favorite walks are the intentional ones. Usually, we choose a pretty area. We've discovered so many walking trails in Tennessee. It's beautiful and relaxing. It's a time to spend with each other and our Creator.
