If I don’t start my day early in the morning walking while the sun rises, I know that it will be a less than ideal day. A few days ago, I grabbed my Nordic poles and went out walking despite it being a drizzly day.
I let the rain fall as I walked/poled around the neighbourhood. Since Nordic Walking is not exactly a common sport I must look weird, and I try not to feel so self concious about it, but it’s hard when I get the occasional curious look thrown my way. Around 10 minutes before I got home, it started drizzling in earnest, and I was damp by the time I got home. However, I thought of it as a free shower lol.
My neighbourhood is absolutely lovely and a rare gem, and one of the reasons why I chose to live here is because there are shops and major malls LRT stations within walking distance. But the prize is the greenery. I live on top of a hill skirted by a little forest. I feel extremely lucky to live here, so close to shops and nature!
People walk around the neighbourhood all the time because of this. And I find that I’m more active and healthier too as a result.
