Although September is my favorite month of the year, October isn't too bad either, especially the first few weeks. As long as there isn't any snow, it gets my vote. It's the time of year when mornings are crisp, grass is still green, leaves are starting to change color, and the skies are mesmerizing. I am reminded what a beautiful area I live in.
I've started walking more regularly again, usually in the morning. I haven't been able to do too much lately due to a lower back injury that has taken some time to heal. Just twisted the wrong way, I think, and OH. MY! I felt like an invalid. I vowed to get outside and walk regularly once I felt better.
Getting older means things don't seem to heal up as quickly as they used to. I mean, it's been over a month and I'm finally feeling close to normal! I'm able to lift, squat, do gentle yoga, and walk up and down stairs, even run again. By run, I mean walk/run a couple minutes here and there. I haven't actually RUN for a while, although I have a hankering (could be fleeting) to perhaps work up to a 5 km run again.
Do you make vows with yourself, too? IF this, that, or the other, THEN I'll blah blah blah.
I am regularly grateful for my health. I certainly don't want to take it for granted. As the song says, you don't know what you've got till it's gone.
Do you love October where you live?
I do love October since it starts to cool down here. Beautiful area where you live! I find it is harder to recuperate from injuries the older one gets and I have aches and pains and wonder where they came from. For the most part though, I'm in fantastic health thank you Lord and am not on any medication for any chronic conditions. I think my running days are over though, LOL.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy fall!

I love the changing colours but don't like the rain we've had. Yes healing definitely seems to take longer as you get older. My running days are definitely older - I tried doing an app that's supposed to take you from couch potato to 5k but I managed to damage knee ligaments doing it. I'm concentrating on walking now.
ReplyDeleteWalking is a much safer option! I'm focusing on that, too! Thanks for visiting!
