It's predicted to be below 40 degrees in the morning, too cold for walking. Let's meet instead for breakfast at the Abita Cafe at 9, ok?

Looks like it will be too cold for walking tomorrow (Monday, and even Wednesday). Anytime Fitness in Village Walk in Covington, where I go for work outs, allows guests at $10 each. We could meet there in the morning, if anyone’s interested. Abita Roasting is just around the corner in Covington, if anyone wants hot coffee or breakfast. What do you think?

Next social will be coffee at the Suga Rose Coffee and Flowers, 28120 US 190, Lacombe after walking Wednesday, 1/21. We can carpool from the trailhead, if desired. Nearly all of us can come back to the Trailhead in order to get home. Hope you can join us. Next walk is tomorrow at 8:30am at the Abita Springs Trailhead. Hope you can join us for that, too!

Be sure to wear comfortable shoes with good support. My podiatrist also said to replace shoes every 1-1.5 years.

Use a walking aid, if the state on your balance requires it for safety.

Walk in well-lit, familiar places. We do that in theASWalking Club! Avoid uneven surfaces. The Trace has some bumpy spots, so we need to be vigilant!

Stay hydrated to keep up your energy and prevent dehydration. Drink plenty of water before and after your walk.

Walk witha friend. This can increase motivation. Ask Mary for her testimony! You’ll have someone there in case of problems. Ask Kathy about “the incident”. And you stay connected. Social connections are importance throughout our lives!

Start slow and listen to your body. Start at a pace that’s comfortable and increase as you tolerate this. A walking club member will walk with you no matter what your pace.

Please join us!

If it’s not raining, we’ll walk on the Trace from the Abita Trailhead. If it is, we could go to coffee. What do you think?
