Other Thoughts
I don’t have a lot to share this week as I am catching up this update two weeks later. There has been a lot going on around the world at the moment. It has been difficult to focus on getting things done and even remembering what happened a few weeks prior.
I am still maintaining a good progression for my walking goal for the year. At my current daily average, I will meet my goal somewhere around the middle of December. There is not much room for error in there at the moment. But I want a goal that I am working on the whole time. Not something that I achieve far too easily.
While the global COVID-19 situation is still unfolding, I hope that you are making walking a part of your day. Even if all you can manage based on your circumstance is walking around the house or your bedroom.
