These chucks are made for walk'n
Ahhhhh. Spring.
Okay, so spring isnt here quite yet, but I feel it. Around this time of year I always get the walking bug. The dog goes on a leash, (and now that im a mama) the baby goes on my back, and my Chuck Taylor Converse Allstars go on my feet and I hit the streets of Port Towsend. This has happend to me every year, around the end of Febuary, since I moved to Washington four years ago.
Except last year, I had a slight problem. I kept falling. I must have tripped and hurt myself 7 or 8 times. The last time it happened my daughter got hurt, so I swore of walking. I thought the problem was that my balance was thrown from having a big fat baby strapped to me, but now im thinking it was something else. I was trying to wear fancy walking shoes.
I have been wearing Chuck's since I was 10. I think my feet are just used to walking in them. I have a hard time wearing anything else.
I bought a pair of Dansko clogs I have been lusting after though. For the price, i'd better not be tripping in them. I am determined not to.
So, anyway. All this walking is making me fell wonderful. That, and I am taking an exercise class on thursday afternoons. I've even lost some weight, which is cool, but it isnt the point. I made peace with my ample proportions a while ago.
The point is to get out, feel better, and clear my head.
Um. I love this time of year.
