I would walk 500 miles.

But today I was elated with four.

I slinked out of bed, got my face licked, made breakfast and lunches for the exiting masses and told myself:

Sally, you just get back up on that horse
and RIDE!

I bundled up in fleece and leggings and lycra and down
  (and put the keys in my pocket)

and the sun was shining

and my playlist ended up being the birds, who were chirping!

and I had to keep peeling off layers

and I kept walking and walking 

and I got warmer and warmer 

and it made me really happy.

and then I came home and ate girl scout cookies for breakfast dessert.

...da-da-da-dah!...
