Mall Walking

I realized today that mall walking can be quite the interesting adventure. First, there are all these elderly people who are in better shape than me. They were faster and much more serious than me about my mall walk. It may be the answer to the question I have been asking myself lately. How can fitness and diet be a lifestyle? These older people definitely know the meaning of this being part of their lifestyle. They are skinny, not at all fat like me, and they are there every morning. The question is how do I obtain this dedication. I think they know how important fitness is to a healthy life, body, mind and heart. I guess I have to really know and be impressed by this idea.

Also, mall walking can be very intimate among strangers. I am walking along with my son in the stroller, and I keep passing people. Who should I say hello to? Who shouldn't I say hello to? Some people are friendly, some are annoyed about the younger, slower, stroller mom. Should I move to the right when someone passes me or should I speed up so that they don't have to pass me. All questions that fill the silence of the mall walk.
