walking

Yesterday I walked on the treadmill for 53 minutes, a total of three miles at an incline of 6 to 7. Supposedly I burned 511 calories. I also did some upper body weight training. Today the roads are cleared of the ice and snow so I feel like making my way to the little mall on the other side of town to do my walking. Even at Christmas time it's not very busy and easy to get around. I'm going to try to do four or five miles. I only wish I could be outside but the temperature is 13 degrees and that's too cold for me. We have a red-tailed hawk that has started to visit us. I saw him yesterday in our backyard, I hope to get a picture of him soon. He's quite large and a very handsome bird.
