What a difference a day makes!

I wasn't imagining I worked harder walking yesterday as I woke up with sore arms and legs, and I'm never sore from walking these days. I didn't do anything different, it was just the effort to breathe. Today, breathing was so much easier. In fact, my entire walk was a lot easier than normal, and I walked 7.5 mi like it was nothing. Today every time I needed to take a deep breath walking (which was usually about every 1/4 mi), the deep breath was very restorative. I saw lots of birds today, finally the first robins of the year, a bit late for them especially considering how warm it has been since early March. Like you, @Discombobulated, there were a lot more people out than usual today, walking, biking, and walking dogs. I like when there is more activity like that; like you, I feel like it makes everything come alive, but things are not too busy or crowded so that I feel overwhelmed.

I am still waiting on my wrist to heal. I think I often undo the healing process some during the day using the hand to hold or put weight against it because I forget. In the morning, these past 2 mornings, my wrist has been pretty sore; then after my shower, it is less bothersome, which is why I tend to put more weight on it during the day and it just all adds up because I'll do it time & again.

@Tart Cherry Jam What audiobook are you listening to when you walk? Just curious!
