My first long training walk was surprisingly easy and really relaxing! The air was crisp and the sky was a bright winter blue. All of the puddles from yesterday's rain were frozen over and the asphalt was a bit icy. I found a meandering trail from Sussargues to Castries that winds through the garrigue. I passed the ancient quarry and little patches of vineyards tucked into the woods. It is a very calm route with few cars even though I was walking during the Sussargues "rush hour".
After my walk, I sat with a thick blanket on my legs feeling chilled to the bone! You'd think I would have known to dress for the cold! It was 1•C out when I started walking this morning at 8:30. I wore two thick layers under my ski jacket, but only a thin pair of yoga pants on my legs. After 1/2 hour in the warm house, my knees are still numb and my legs muscles are radiating cold!
