Wednesday

Discovery of the day: About that, uh, bold declaration?

Today I had planned to announce my commitment to walk a mile every day starting today. Can I walk more than a mile? Sure, but the key here is the every day part, as consistency is not one of my gifts. I figure a commitment of a mile would be short enough to get me out there on those tough days.

Like, uh, today.

I brought my running shoes and socks, but I neglected to check the weather forecast. It's 12:30 pm, it's 36 degrees, and raining. Sorry, but that's not good commitment-honoring weather, especially the very first day. I am severely under-dressed.

I feel ripped off. April Fool's, eh?

Oh, I still plan on doing it. I am just not sure I'll be able to start today. If the drizzle stops I may give it a go this afternoon.

How's that for a bold, declarative statement?
