WDP — Walk or Run

Daily writing prompt
How often do you walk or run?

I’ve never been much of a runner. But I do like to walk. In my younger days, I was actually a bit of a hiker and would visit national, state, Thanks and county parks with hiking trails. And, for most of my life, I’ve had dogs, and those of you who have dogs know that they keep you walking, too.

However, 2023 has been a rough year for me when it comes to walking. I busted my hip in January and had to have partial hip replacement surgery. After my initial in-hospital rehab, I had to use a walker to get around. It wasn’t until late April before I could walk using a single cane instead of a walker.

Even now, eight months after the accident and surgery, I still need a cane to get around. I have gotten to the point that I can accompany my wife on some of the dog walks, and I do practice walking without the cane around the house, but that doesn’t amount to all that much walking.

Maybe 2024 will be a better year for me when it comes to walking.

    Be careful before ditching the stick – the last thing you need is to fall again.

    I hope 2024 will be the year of the walk for you. I finally got rid of my cane. I have no idea where it is. I wish the same for you!

    Every step you take counts. You are getting there. Glad you have been able to join your wife and dog on some walks.
