Race Away Rett 2021. 8th Year!

 

Here am I wearing the 8th annual Race Away Rett tee shirt.  This photo was taken ten days after doing the actual 5K.  I always do a walk.  Could not run if I wanted to!  The walk was done in Myrtle Beach while we were on our first vacation since before our full-time mission in 2017.  I walked on the sidewalk as far as the Boardwalk when followed the Boardwalk down to the 2nd Avenue Pier since it seemed like a good thing to do.  On the way back, now in the dark, every time I met someone on the sidewalk going the other direction I stopped  and let them pass.  I did not dare sit down and rest for fear of never getting moving  again!

May I say there may be something to be said for working gradually into things...such as walking a little every day and building up stamina then increasing the distance and time.  Smashing into a long walk (long to me) all at once had very noticeable repercussions.  As in I did no more walking, or even very much standing, for three days!  I DID get a lot of knitting done.  But then that overtaxed my hands, so maybe there is some merit in moderation in all things...!
