I’m about to attempt a trek from my house to the grocery store and back again, because I want to get back into the habit of regular walks. It’s going to be a little bit of a challenge — I’ve been doing short walks around the house, but I think I can handle a whole kilometer and a half, because maybe I’m getting overconfident.
If I’m not back by noon, call out the helicopters and the search parties. (I also have an ace in the hole: Morris has an informal bus service where you just call and they eventually deliver you right to your door. Don’t worry.)
I’m back, call off the emergency search teams. It took an hour and a half to walk there and back? I’m getting so slow.
Beware the mud puddles.

Walking 30 minutes a day, or more, has worked for me after my TAVR procedure 6 years ago, and it’s worked for my wife after her complete knee replacement last year.
All the steps add up! I’m about to walk to the kitchen for another twinkie.
Congrats on finishing that longer walk, PZ. Keep on keeping’ on.
Sorry PZ. I have never been to Willie’s Supervalu.
PZ, the exercise is important. The speed is not. As I’ve commented before. As a friend once told me:
Talk fast, walk slow and keep on truckin’
A kilometer and a half in an hour and a half, that’s (thinks hard) a pace of 1 Km/h.
That is very very slow, unless it was 1.5Km each way.
Presumably, since it was a trip to the shop, you came back with a bag of shopping.
Extra load, right?
No. No. You got the last comment back to front. You are not getting so slow. You have got so slow and are now speeding up. Before you know it, you will be doing the local marathon.
Cheers
