Monday is my day off but since it's a holiday I decided to workout today anyway.  Wrong decision!  I got started OK. But then I had a terrible case of the fidgets. Adjust the hat, gloves and earphones. Stop and mess with the shoes. Alright I'm getting grumpy. Then it hit me; I'm tired. So I did a short walk and called it a day. Good decision.  MikeZ Resting.

Better than a pulse for checking your well being. Most of the time when my family leaves, I feel a little alone not lonely. But this time it got me thinking about ZumeWalk, walking and the solitude of walking. Walking alone is fine, great most of the time.
