"The withered leaves collect at my feet..."

In case you don't recognize that title, it's from the song "Memory" from the musical Cats. I took a walk on a new route through my neighborhood this afternoon. There's nothing like a walk in the late afternoon in the fall with a cold, crisp feel to the air and crunchy leaves beneath your feet. It was fun. I didn't walk too fast, but it was pleasant. I covered 1.75 miles in 42 minutes, so not really fast, but still nice. I'm preparing for a wonderful weekend because my surgery is Monday at noon. This whole weight loss process has been to facilitate the surgery, so getting a few walks in this weekend are important. I don't think I'll be taking any really long walks next week.
