At the mall
16 DecYesterday for the first time I took my manual chair to North Hill Mall, pushed it up and down there. I completed two laps in about an hour, which might be about 1.2 km. Sure beats turning around every 40 m when I am doing laps at home! I may try to visit the mall by myself using the handy bus a couple times a week during the winter.
