Mall Walking
So I've started to get my exercise by walking in the mall.
The mall opens at 8:00 AM, so I go right after morning services. I walk for 30-45 minutes.
It's interesting to see who is in the mall before the stores open. I'm not the only one trying to get in a little exercise; I'm starting to recognize the faces of the "regulars". there's a security guard on his Segway, and a couple of janitors cleaning the windows and the floors. You'll also see some retail workers in their stores, getting the stores ready for the morning rush. Yesterday I saw one store with a lot of employees, I think they were getting ready to do inventory.
It's a little bit disorienting right now. The last remnants of the Christmas decorations are still in the center of the mall, and a lot of stores are in the middle of their after-Christmas sales. But Hallmark and Godiva are all decked out for Valentine's Day. And Kate Spade and Michael Kors have their spring collections on display.
If you told me a year ago that I'd be spending my mornings at the mall...
But times change.
And change is good.
