When we walked out after coffee, I looked over at Lily and said, "Lily, how would you feel about skipping the walk with the ladies and head over to the Bellis Fair Mall Walk? They open the doors at 7:00am." She agreed, and with that we drove the short distance to the mall and made four laps, cutting no corners. The link says each one is close to a mile, but my step counter gave us .6 miles for each lap. Not bad.
Afterwards, we went back to the starting point of the intended walk, near the Farmers' Market (which is holding its last winter market today) and there were several of the women. They had changed their route enough that I could probably have done it today (no hills). My hip isn't 100% yet and I sort of overdid it on Thursday but it's WAY better. Anyway, we made a great choice for us today; it's dry inside the mall!

I used to love walking in the rain, but bad knees and slippery surfaces are not a good mix :)
ReplyDeleteA very good choice staying on a hard surface and close to home !

Wise decision. The weather here is about to change again, more rain in the forecast. It is warm today but humid. I am feeling so lazy I can hardly move after a drive into the hills this morning to the goat farm to buy soap.
ReplyDeleteRain? Jealous thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you walked in the dry, and even gladder to hear your hip is getting better.
Walking inside when it is raining is a really good idea! :)
ReplyDeleteI've heard of mall walking, but there are no malls near here!
ReplyDeleteI'm very surprised that you would make a change just because of a little rain! I guess sometimes sane decisions have to be made.
ReplyDeleteMall walking sounds like the perfect way to get your exercise without getting soaking wet!
ReplyDeleteGood for you. You are allowed to make choices for your comfort. And you didn't need the rain pants!
ReplyDeleteI love walking the oval at the mall because it's a lot cooler. I'm so glad your hip is better and that you're being careful.
ReplyDeleteMall walking...yes! Glad your hip is improving!
ReplyDeleteYes---dry and level, both good on a healing hip. I wish we had a mall here but we only have a large Walmart. Still a lot of us take advantage of the climate control and levelness. I get in a couple of miles first then do my shopping 4 times a week. It has been my go to place this winter. So glad you are still moving but not abusing.
ReplyDeleteMall walking sounds very safe with a healing hip. Love the pic! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, if that's what you want to do, then go for it.
ReplyDeleteDry is good!
ReplyDeleteYou made a good choice.
