Since the end of April I have been walking. With a sippy cup of wine. Sometimes to work, sometimes on the treadmill, and sometimes in exciting places. This was last week on the Pacific Coast. The idea is to get some exercise without destroying my knees, and without cutting into my prime drinking time. The wine should match the walk of course. So the Russian River provided wines for this walk. Today around the park was some Concannon Rose I got in Livermore on Friday. Sometimes it will have to be a negroni or G@T. I'm not strict about the beverage. The time is usually divided among a morning walk to work, another walk back, then late afternoon walking with wine. I think I could get a book out of this. What do you think? Some places recently have included Oxford, Topanga Canyon in L.A., Valpolicella and Umbria. It sure is fun. And hopefully losing some of the pounds I put on eating noodles every morning for breakfast for three years! I'm today at 800 miles, which is about 10 miles a day. At 3-3.5 mph that's about 3 hours. I wont be able to keep that up once school starts again, but we'll try.
