Walking - the amusing way

A striking transform in my life happened a week ago when my physician told me with sad expression that I must start walking . At this age , he announced
It is a matter of life or death ! I tried to clarify to him that I am healthy , well shaped , blonde with blue eyes , so he also suggested that I will see a shrink …
At my house my partner instead of comforting me , she remind me that I am 52 years old , and begun with additional facts I am trying to forget : you are 20 kilos overweight and all your excersice activity is just walking from the TV in the living room to the kitchen or the toilet 20 times a day . In my desperation I tried to tell her again that most pedestrians are killed by drunken drivers or bitten by snakes, but she gave me that cold smile and said: tomorrow at 8 am you are beginning.
Throughout the night I could not sleep. I woke up early , sat with the town map and a compass to decide on the route : 2 miles up hill and down hill .
At 8 am I begun the torment. The fact is that downhill it was simple. I smiled to passing peoples, was helping a tourist, and whistled cheerful tunes.
I even had the time to call my mother who was in the middle of a card game, woke up my daughter , and interfered my son who was in the middle of lesson. I was in fact grateful to my doctor and wife who are concerned with my health .
But this was all downhill .When the uphill started, I felt the global warming:
I begun sweating, felt dizzy , and I saw my whole my life passing quickly in front of my eyes …..
A few hours later I arrived at home. at once I understood that my life will be useless if I will continue this way, and so I had to compensate myself with chocolate and a cigarette, and went straight to bed.
The next day , I woke up and told my wife that the nightmare is over ,and I will not continue walking .She gave me that look up and down and said : what a pity to stop it now when it seems now that your pot belly is going down …..
After a few days we made a agreement and as typical I gave in a lot …
Since than, each morning I am walking with our pedigree dog ( which her ancestors used to hunt foxes ). We are walking in a speed of 200 feet per hour:
The dog is hunting foxes and I am thinking why I deserve all that punishment ….
