Walking

I am feeling better and stronger week by week. I was able to quantify that I am now walking twice as fast by observing that initially in order to safely cross Forest Park I needed the "Walk" signal's full 30 seconds, I can now cross comfortably in 15 seconds!

The only problem with feeling stronger is figuring out if I am overdoing it or not. Last week the weather was gorgeous and I was craving tortellini so Stephen and I went to The Hill. We walked, and kept walking,
discovering shops we had not visited before. One of the gems we found was Mama Toscana's Ravioli. Although famous for their breaded ravioli, we opted for the traditional ravioli. The dough is delicate and the cheese filling delicious. It was so good we decided to return the next day so we could buy more to put in my freezer. We walked and talked and I felt fine. Stephen was surprised how much I had walked during those two days. Well, last Friday it all caught up with me and I am just now recovering my legs.

A healthy and happy 2012 to all!
