Getting in Shape

I hate to exercise. I always have, and maybe I always will. But for the last month, my husband and I have been walking at night. We figure it's good for the two dogs, and it's good for us. The dogs love it; we tolerate it.

But I have to admit it's getting easier. We certainly go faster now. As my husband says, I need to get my heart pumping. We've been thinking about setting a goal of taking a three-day backpacking trip about this time next year.

So why is exercise so difficult? We know for a fact we're healthier because of it. Yet, I look for every excuse to avoid it. But at halftime of my life, I've realized I won't live forever. It's time to get with the program, and get in shape!
