Last night, my pal Clare and I met up for a walk. Inspired by our friend Jennifer who has been on a workout kick lately, we decided to get together and walk. After her kids were put to sleep and after I had made it home from my commute, we met up to walk out our week’s stresses and burn some calories.
We hauled buns and just about walked four miles in one hour. We talked about big things like church and God and little things like planning to play tennis together. It wasn’t an easy walk, but it was an easy time spent in each other’s company.
And that’s when I realized that while the speed walking might have been burning calories, it was also building memories and growing a friendship.
Friends make those sort of things so much more enjoyable!
i like that something that is seemingly simple has a big impact and deeper meaning.
those are my favorite moments.
Love that – one thing I miss about Cali is that perfect weather for walks. And girl? 4 miles in an hour??? That seems so speedy! Good on ya!
I loved our walk and your post. Promise me we’ll still be taking walks when we’re in the old folks home together and talking about these good ole days
