Today was my second walk in months, and let’s just say it wasn’t as graceful as I imagined.
It was freezing out there, and while the frost-covered fields looked peaceful, my muscles were screaming with every step. I knew it would be tough to start walking again, but I didn’t realize how frustrating it would be to keep up with @borniet. The man was practically flying down the road, while I was struggling to move without feeling like an ice sculpture.
And yes, I almost snapped at him.
Why?
Because when he first started walking, I was out running every day on a good pace. Back then, he could barely make it 500 meters without feeling sick. And I walked with him for weeks. And now? He’s outpacing me like he’s training for a marathon. Meanwhile, I’m just trying to keep my feet from freezing off.
To make things worse, my shoes fell apart during the walk. Yep, just what I needed. So, I turned around and headed home, feeling both annoyed and exhausted.
But here’s the thing, I wasn’t really mad at him. I was mad at myself for how hard it felt to get going again.
When he got home, I did what I do best. I made him a pot of fresh soup and a bowl of fruit salad. We sat down, had a good chat, and came up with a new plan to make our walks work for both of us. Slower pace, shorter distance, and a bit more patience from both sides.
This journey isn’t about perfection. It’s about starting again, finding balance, and adjusting when things don’t go as planned.
And next time? I’ll have new shoes 😉
