PhotoFriday: HundredMileChallengeNotQuite

A Girlfriend invited me to a Walk A Hundred A Month Challenge. Frequently my mind says "Go or it!" My body says "You gotta be kidding!"

Regardless, walking is a good thing so any effort is a positive. However, wussy me does not want to get out in the cold. Slipping on ice would be problematic. Yesterday I was talking one of my neighbors in the community room. She talked about walking the stairs in our building. It's not quite a hundred miles but I do live in a four story building with flights of stairs on both sides of the building.

I can get amazing photos from the top of the stairs that would never happen if I were on the ground.

A HUNDRED MILES A MONTHS SOUNDS LIKE A LOT EVEN IN NICE WEATHER. HOW COLD DOES IT GET WHERE YOU LIVE?

Autumn and Spring the weather is nice. Summer is okay most of the time. Winter not so much. West Virginia has been snow storming for most of January. The storms have stopped for now but it's raining.

Climbing stairs ought to give you at least twice the credit that walking on flat ground would. It's good to keep active.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Worth the climb to get good pictures. Good luck with the hundred mile walking challenge.

I like stair walking inside when it's cold.

Starwomyn you shouldn't berate yourself for not walking outside. I walk down three flight of stairs all the time. I don't always walk up them. I have been doing this for over thirty years. Every little bit helps.
