Walking Trail
Today I woke up and was going to do my usual routine. Usually I eat a quick bite, then go straight to the gym. I find that if I turn the tv or computer on, then I don't go to the gym, or have to cut my workout short. So I have put myself in a routine that is nicely working out. Anyways I go to the gym, and the technogym equipment is broken (the 2nd time this week!), so I couldn't check in and see what my workout today is. So I decided to leave, and go take Cady on a walk. It's a beautiful fall day, so I went home and got her, and decided to go on the new walking trail. It was so beautiful that we kept going, and was gone for 2 hours on the dot. I can so feel it in my legs now. It's definitely different walking on a treadmill at the gym, compared to walking a dog on concrete. But it was suck a beautiful fall day with a breeze. As I rounded my way past the fields, over the train tracks, past Ice House, across CCCB's front yard, and around to Timberlake, I was pulled to the cross set on a hill. I sat on a bench and overlooked a little pond with a hill in the distance with a cross. What really got me was the pond, the body of water. Maybe because I was listening to Haitian Konpa Music, but I started to think of the cholera outbreak that is going on in Haiti. How precious water is to the body, but at the same time, how evil it can be. Water is a vital part of our living, and when people are desperately thirsty, they drink water, not think of the consequences. That is what's going on in Haiti. There is a cholera outbreak, and last I heard over 250 dead in St Marc, and over 1000 that shows the s/s of this epidemic.
