Edna continually checked her smartwatch for pace, distance and heart rate. Ed took in the sights and enjoyed the scenery.
They started out together, but it didn’t last.
Ed was on a walk; Edna turned it into a gallop. They separated as Edna picked up her pace to meet her daily workout goals.
At home afterwards, Edna fretted over the slower time to cover her target distance. Ed cooled down and relaxed with a glass of iced tea.
Edna vowed to do better tomorrow. Ed looked forward to another stroll.
“Great walking with you,” Ed said with a chuckle.
