Walking, PT2

My brave friend and I survived our evening walk last night. I must add that the wind, knowing that it could not defeat us, was almost tame. It did attempt at one point to knock us over but we, in the face of danger, merely laughed and continued our journey.

Since the weekend has approached and my fearless friend and I, along with the rest of the Christian world, desire to celebrate Easter we plan to take a brief sabbatical from our expeditions and will continue where we left off sometime next week.

Happy Easter.

Walking

Walking can be a dangerous sport. Yesterday I went for a walk with a friend and I’m rather shocked and amazed that we made it through the entire estimated 1.25 miles. The wind was incredible; I don’t think it stopped trying to knock us over or make us freeze to death during the duration of our trek. Admittedly my friend is the true heroine of the story. As she was wearing long johns under her mesh workout pants and I wasn’t, she bravely allowed me to use her to block the wind. OK she didn’t have a choice since I hid behind her without first receiving her permission. But nevertheless she was my fearless champion. Today we plan, yet again, to brave the rigors of the voracious wind and test our survival skills. Will we survive?
