August Retirement: Firing up the Treadmill

One of my goals in retirement is to exercise for 20 minutes at least 3 times a week. They say a body in motion stays in motion….so I’m heeding the words of all the wellness experts and listening closely to their sage wisdom. This morning, I walked a mile on the inheritance treadmill Dad pulled from the river house rubble a decade ago. No injuries happened in the walking of this mile, and if my children are reading, I’d like it to be noted that I held on to the handrails and double-knotted my Hokas.

Firing Up the Treadmill

I pulled it out from

its corner on the porch

turned on the overhead fan

wiped it down

plugged it in

fired it up

stepped out

put one foot in front of the other

and began the journey

with a single step
