Walking

Didn’t have plans today so I went for a walk. What started off as just a way to get out of the house became a personal journey to see what i was capable of. I left the house headed towards Maymont park. I crossed the nickle bridge which i have never done on foot before. The Nickle is a great old bridge with a walkway on one side and traffic moving in both directions crossing the river. No one ever seems to pay attention to the speed limit. I made it up to Maymont and decided that at 2.75 mile walk would only be a little over 5 Miles when i made it home so I kept on going. I walk over past the Round House and thru Byrd park past the lake and came out at the end of The Boulevard. It was only a few blocks up to Cary so I thought Id continue on. When I came to the intersection of Cary and Boulevard. The crossing light wasn’t in my favor so I kept going for another block, I just didn’t feel like waiting for the light to change. By the time I made it to Main I was able to cross as soon as I got to the intersection. So I walked all the way up to Ellwood. There was a light rain starting to develop but I continued on. Once I made it to Ellwood I walked back up to Cary. Down thru Carytown and back towards The Boulevard. I headed South to the Carrilon Where, just for good measure, I walked up the stairs around the back and back down. I went past Dogwood Dell and Barker field back across the Nickle, the South side Hill wasn’t this big going down, and headed home. All in all It was 9.5 Miles. I’m not as sore as I thought i might be but i defiantly need new shoes.
