I do not enjoy sports or exercise of any kind, manner, fashion, or means. Towards this end, I hesitantly committed to walk one hour a day. Right now, I walk in two 45 minute blocks. My goal is to increase to two straight hours walking. In the mornings I walk on my treadmill. In the afternoon/evening I walk the halls at school or in the park.

Sometimes, students ask for help well after the school day has ended. They have to attend other teachers’ tutorials or athletic practices. The first time it happened, a student was desperate for help. I told him, I will be on the second floor. If you can find me and keep up, come on. We bustled along, conjugating verbs and working on grammar. He now asks, are you wearing the purple dress today because if I’m in my purple dress, I’m walking.
