A Park by a waterway

After almost two weeks of missing my exercise routine, I was so glad that I could put on my running shoes for my brisk walks.  Was checking out a new route/ park today.  It took me a while to find this park, but once when I was in it, I was so so so amazed by the good works of the town planners - how they have implanted a park next to a beautiful body of water, overlooking the residences!  This body of water used is the 'natural drains' in the city, and now, it is transformed to include water activities such as kayaking/ canoeing.  

I also observed that there is a trail by the body of water which extends for quite a bit of way. Cyclists and joggers were seen during my entire hour or so stay.  Certainly good human traffic which means people are enjoying the park.

The air was good, the weather was great!  I did not check out the entire park but will certainly do so in the weeks ahead.  Had also suggested to my chubby nephew that in the weeks ahead, I will take him to this park to walk with me - so that he, too can have a healthier body :)

Look forward to my cross fit tomorrow, and hopefully I will resume my regular exercise regime.

Don't take my movement for granted

So we were to take a mid day flight back home today.  Started the day with breakfast, after which we made our way to the airport.  The flight took about 2.5 hours.  However as this place is like 2 hours behind, we had to add back the 'lost' time upon arriving home.

This meant that by the time I reached home, it was close to evening already!  My back was getting achy, and my legs were feeling kind of strange - all because I was spending the bulk of the day sitting on the plane, and sitting the the taxi, and sitting in the car.  I am so going to hit the gym tomorrow!

It was about then that it occurred to me that being able to move my legs around, to walk, take the stairs, bend and touch my toes, such things should never be taken for granted.  From now on, if I have to stand on the public transport, I should be thankful - at least the leg muscles are being stretched and used.  If the lift is spoilt or elevator isn't working, I can alway walk up the stairs.  To be confined to a chair the entire day is really a very tough thing to do... So I really must value the legs and my spine.

Thank God for the limbs! May these limbs will be useful and ever ready to share the Good News!
