Here I am saturday morning, after going out for a 40 mile bike ride. It was in the mid 50’s when I went, drizzling, and very foggy. With all of the melting that is has been doing, the mud was flying. But, it felt so good to be outside riding again, instead inside. By the time the sun was really coming out, so was the wind, so it was drying the mud fast. Here is a close up view:
You can see all the mud on the bike, and on it, it was getting pretty dried on. I felt like a little kid playing in the dirt! Spent part of the afternoon cleaning off the bike as well. Mid to upper 70’s for weather in mid March–I don’t remember the last time this has happened. I am taking advantage of it, and enjoying it for as long as the weather cooperates. You all need to do the same. Keep moving everybody!

Happy Birthday Sarah! Happy St. Patrick’s Day to everybody else. Here Sarah displays her Irish nature. It always make for an even more special day. I just had a patient in the hospital, and his birthday is today as well. He just turned 87. He has a lot of medical issues, but is loving life. He told me that when everything else in life starts to fail, the one thing you can rely on is your attitude, and you make the best of whatever life dishes out to you. His motto: SMILE! Even when things get bad, if you keep smiling, that can at least seem better. We all should take a little advice from this very knowledgeable man. And very Irish!
Of course, don’t forget to be staying active. Here Sarah is surrounded by the two Tom’s of our running club this AM. I was riding the bike today as I am still nursing a sore calf. Hope to be back running soon. Tom Beaudry (far right) was decked out in his green attire for the day. Way to go Tom!
Everybody have a great weekend. Happy Birthday Sarah. Luv ya!
Keep moving everybody! Enjoy this great weather!

Today was a great day to go out for a walk. Little windy, but the temps were in the mid 50’s. Roads are clearing, but not all of the bike trails yet. You can still see the snow on the sides. Buddy was ready to go!
It was a great weekend for weather, and supposed to be even better the rest of this week. Get outside, get fired up, and go enjoy it. Quit staying cooped up in the house. Get moving!

This AM, 3/10/12, we had the inaugural start of the Watertown Area Running Club. The weather was great, calm winds. Pictured from left to right are: Jackie Burghardt, Sarah Reiffenberger, Tom Batta, and Tom Beaudry. We will begin meeting each saturday morning at 8AM at the rec center. When it starts getting even a little warmer, we will move this to 7AM.
Tom and I switched places to we could get everybody in. It was a good social run, and we got our workout in. It is always a lot more fun running with other people. We will have runs that can range anywhere from 4 miles, to 15 miles+ depending on what individuals want to do. It is not intended to be a race, but to get people together who enjoy running. It was a great day for a run guys! Keep passing the word around to others who may be interested. Once we start building on this, then we can incorporate other days of the week. Hope to see you out there with us. Keep moving!

OK, so we have had some snow. The temperature went down, and the winds picked up, and then we got some more snow. But, it started melting already later today, and is supposed to be up in the 40’s the next couple of days. That is the good thing about this being March already, it won’t be long, and the white stuff will be gone, and we can be outside more again. Start getting fired up…nice weather is coming. When it does come, get outside and enjoy it.
We are not going to be having these piles of snow for much longer. So start getting ready, and get rid of our “piles of excuses”, and start thinking about how we are going to be more active this Spring. Make your plan now, and stick to it. You will feel much better. Keep moving!
