8-29-16 Power Walking.

 Today was a world wind day.   I was scheduled to leave for the United States tomorrow but because of a typhoon I decided to go today.   There was a chance that the typhoon would delay my flight and I might miss connecting flights if I left tomorrow so leaving today was the best option to be safe.   I was thinking I could do a quick workout before I left but as things got busy I found that there was no way I  would be able to do a workout of any kind.   But as it turns out walking through airports carrying bags trying to get to terminals and walking through terminal is two gates that was a lot of walking today.

 So instead of doing a regular work out I was forced to do powerwalking.  I've heard the term powerwalking before but  what I consider to be powerwalking might be a little different from what the general definition is.   For me powerwalking basically is walking as fast as you can but with a longer stride and with a more powerful pushoff from the back foot to hear propelling yourself forward a lot faster.   Today I had to walk through two airports and I found that my gate was basically at the end of the terminal so I had to walk fast and I had to walk long to get to my gate and since I had a long waiting time I decided just to go walking up and down the terminal.   You know I walked about an hour and I would estimate close to 5 km.   I was a little worried about all the walking today because I don't like to sweat when I can't take a shower right away.   I did sweat but I bought a little tool that would help alleviate some of the discomfort and that helped a lot.  It helped me feel a lot better and I'm sure it helped my neighbors with regards to what could have been an unpleasant aroma.   I also did a lot of just sitting around and waiting and actually that might have been something that made me even more tired than the walking

 It was a good day and it was a very busy day having to change my schedule like that I wasn't mentally prepared but eventually I had to come to grips with my decision to go early.  It was a good day except for the fact that I wasn't able to say goodbye to my daughter face-to-face because she had left for school before I woke up.
