Day 39: Store laps (outside)

I promised myself to walk today.  I didn't promise myself a snow storm.

I decided to walk laps outside of Fred Meyer, from the Grocery door, around the front of the building to the Home door and back again.  The wind was blowing but the building kept the worst of the blasts away, and the flakes fell thick except when I was under an awning.  I quickly trudged back and forth.  I wondered if anyone inside the smaller shops or in the Mongolian BBQ noticed my walking by over and over, but then decided that I would at least provide some amusement if they did.  I walked some distance past the doors on each lap.

It took less than eight minutes to make a lap, and a little more than thirty minutes to make three and a half laps. I went inside.  My hair was dripping wet, my coat was soaked, but I felt triumphant for keeping my promise to myself.
