Wednesday's Walk

Walking at the mall last night was alright, but the parking fees have doubled and there are so many really large teenagers who are only paying attention to members of the opposite gender that I get nervous about getting jostled during the flirting sessions that ensue.

So today, we headed down McGrath Highway to the new Shaws Supermarket. Though it has been opened for over a month now, it is generally empty. Since it is a new market, the aisles are wide and spacious, the store foot print is huge, and the air conditioning is downright chilly. Leslie and I walked all the aisles. I zigged and zagged so as to take three steps to his one, trying to maximize my movement.

An added bonus was that by the time we had traveled the entire store, we had a new mop head [which we never remember to pick up] and food.

Tomorrow when we return to the Shaw Market for my walk, we will just have to think of something that we forgot today. I am going to find a pedometer and try to add more walking each day. Rumor has it that if you walk at least 30 minutes a day before and during radiation, the most common side effect of that treatment, fatigue, can be reduced significantly.
