HAPPY NEW WEEK!!!

Well, I took this morning off, only because my daughter spent the night here, and she was sleeping in the room with the treadmill. But I'll be back at it tomorrow.

How's everyone else doing?

My exercise this weekend was looking at hiking shoes. I would like to "kick things up a notch" and do some serious hiking this spring. My ultimate goal is to hike Long's Peak in the Rockies. We were there 2 years ago for 2 weeks. I went to where the trail started and decided that I was NO WHERE near in shape. So maybe( ?) next summer. We are talking about going back.

Kathy, can I join you? I love hiking. Our new house is on the side of a mountain, and I can't wait 'til the weather improves so I can go hiking in the area. A few years ago we went camping in Yosemite, and I love the hiking there.

This morning I got in my two mile run on the treadmill, but I wasn't feeling motivated. It was more like a chore. I hate it when that happens.

I am jealous. I miss the mountains. MO has hills. Some of the lifetime locals call the hills mountains but these are not mountains.

This is my recovery week so it has been stretching & yoga.

I am ready to go for my next rotation!

See ya!

Hi, Autumn;

It is beatiful here, but we're also in a wind zone. During the winter months the wind can be very strong at times. We recently missed four consecutive trash collection days because the winds were too strong to put the trash out at the street. We had to store four weeks worth of trash. Yuck!

My schedule this week has been very hectic, and so working out has been sporadic. I need some consistency. Please!

My week was ok. The weather took a turn for the cold this week. Makes it hard to "want to " do a whole lot of walking. I made myself do 20 minutes each day. When it gets warmer, I'll get back to my 45 minutes.
