Labor Day walking

I did a lot of walking this long Labor Day weekend but fell short of a marathon distance.  I still managed to walk 24.41 miles.  Walking is so easy when I have audiobooks, Japanese lessons and music.

Every day, I started my walks listening to Daniel Goleman's "Emotional Intelligence", learning about how emotional intelligence (or lack thereof) impacts your interaction with people.

Next, I moved to "Learn In Your Car Japanese", and I now have a catalog of about 100 words and phrases memorized, and I'm starting to understand the grammatical structure of Japanese sentences.

Finally, I moved on to music.  When listening to songs for my band, I lightly mime the guitar playing and mouth the lyrics (ever so slight to not look too weird to passers-by).  It helps me with the independence between my guitar playing and my singing.  Or, I just put on All Time Low, which energizes me to walk.

I love walking!
