A while ago I developed my big walking loop. It takes about an hour and 10 minutes. Why? I want to make sure I get at least an hour in. No excuses when walking past the house “Ah thats enough”. I get bored easily. So at the furthest point I am at least 15 minutes away from home. [Unfortunately I could cut through the the local school yard.] There is no quitting once I start.
Yesterday I was a couple minutes out and I ran into another walker I see out there often . She said “I see you finally made it out of the neighborhood!” We chatted for a few minutes and I told her my route. She said “No sidewalks & too much traffic” True but I pay attention the whole way. “Have you ever gone that way?” She points. “Are you good with hills? I call it butt hill - try it” so I do. Although its probably 1/2 a mile from my house I had never had occasion to go into that neighborhood.
I started on my way and bam Everest stood before me. Now this was quite a hill. Well all that walking I do must have increased my stamina I tackle it and all though its tuff I make it and I continue on my regular route. One and half podcasts later I arrive home spent. Hooray Huh? I feel an unpleasant tightening in my calfs.
If you have guessed butt hill gets its name from its ability to reduce one. The high today is in the thirties & it’s been blowing like crazy I think Ill stick to my normal route today. A smaller butt will have to wait.
