Happy Saturday!!



I was up at 6:30 this morning to take Whitney back to Space Camp (she went from 7-11 last night), then I got donuts for the family (a very rare treat), filled my car with gas and had an hour at home before Cathy came to get me for our walk. We've been driving to various trails (all new to me) and then walking for an hour. We went on one close by today, but totally new to me...I'm giddy about it. It felt surreal to have such a nice trail with a gorgeous view just 2 miles up the road from my house! We had a great walk and talk, which I'm finding to be the perfect way to start each Saturday. I feel so accomplished getting the majority of my day's steps in before 9:30am, plus I get to socialize and breathe fresh air so I end up with a "life is good" feeling before I've even set out to be productive. As much as I adore sleeping in and lounging in bed reading, this new plan is way better for me.

**What are your plans today?
Do you have good trails near you?
Can you believe how snowless we are?**

I was up early this morning to go to a Zumba class and I am so glad I did. My friend has been going for months but I haven't because Saturday is the only day of the week I can sleep in but I feel so much better that I went and may need to do it every week.

I concur. I concur. With the Gandhi quote as well as the exercise beats sleeping in for productivity.

That's so great you have a walking buddy.

Max and Lucas loved those space camps!

It is great to have a walking buddy, great to discover new trails, and great to get up and be productive.

I have spent the whole day doing things with Eva. I'm done.

I am hoping my lungs will feel strong enough to start walking on Monday!

Hooray for you Jill! I totally concur...even if I do nothing else during the day, but I have my run...it is ok! Some people use drugs, I just run. There are SO many beautiful trails around here (don't do them alone though!!!).

Where is this trail??? I must run it. My feet are itching to run this trail. Email me with directions and I promise not to stalk you and run at the same time you are there.

LOVE the Ghandi quote.

I can't believe you don't have any snow. I'll trade you!
It's great that you have found a partner to walk with you. It makes it that much nicer.
Have a great weekend!
(Donuts sound good...very good)

This is great. One of my goals here is to find walking trails to discover. No mountains here though, sad. I love getting walks in early in the morning, but motivating myself past the early morning dawdle is difficult.
