So my car broke down today, waited 20 mins for a cab, nothin, so I decided to walk home, about 3 miles home, nice cold day, and I did it without getting out of breathe or over heated, or anything.

Thats great to hear. I kindasorta did the same thing saturday. The state opened up some new land for public use behind my house. I google mapped it and seen there were nice looking fishing ponds on the property. It is walking or biking only. Well.... curiosity got me and I grabbed a fishing rod and set out on foot. It was 86 degrees out and not a cloud in the sky. Thank God the wind was blowing. 2.5 miles later, I was at the pond. I then had one of those "extreme fatigue" attacks. So after 15 minutes of fishing I decided to head home. I can just remember putting one foot infront of the other, and repeat... Finally I was home and totally exhausted. Took a shower, relaxed for 45 minutes in the A/C and I was good to go again. I think I am going to start trying to accomplish the same thing maybe three times a week. I really felt good that evening! :D

BTW, how do yall like my word "kindasorta"?
