Well, with the wind picking up, and the temperature dropping, the leaves off the trees, the signs of Winter are approaching. Does it mean you have to stop exercising? NO! But it does mean you have to start making some accomodations, and being smarter about what you are going to do for exercise, and where. Right now, I just have to dress more appropriately, but I am still thrilled I don’t have to contend wtih snow yet. So, there are some good points afterall.
I will be the first to admit, it is not as motivating to go out when it is cold, and your usual routes/path are not as interesting to look at. So, start being creative. What are you going to do different as we approach this Winter season? Sitting on our butts is not a good choice. I think it may be time to once again have some posts about more appropriate clothing to be wearing, and how we can handle the cold better. Plus, as usual, just trying to keep us all motivated to keep moving. Enjoy the next few days. We are supposed to get us to the mid 50’s yet, so take advantage. Keep moving, and enjoy the weekend.

Well, today I hit a mile stone. 1500 consecutive days of exercise! I would have never believed it was possible for me to do. The thing is, it is now such a habit, I do it without thinking. I put in my run this AM already, then took Buddy for a walk. It is now routine. I don’t know how long this streak will go, but I at least don’t see it ending any time soon. Take care of yourself, and remember whatever goal you set for yourself…keep it managable, keep at it, but enjoy it and have fun along the way. That is what life is all about. Have a great weekend everybody. Keep exercising!

Have a safe and Happy Halloween everybody. It just goes to show, you are never to old to have fun with this holiday. Here is a picture of Dr. Lawrence today. He used this costume multiple times with patients today, who all this was just great! They thought it was fun to see a doctor have fun at work!
Of course, with kids at home, you are always going to have fun, regardless of their age. Here Molly carved a pumpkin this weekend, and then wanted to bring it to the “doctor” because her pumpkin got “sick” while she was carving it. At least that is the story she is sticking with. Here is a picture of her “art work”.
Have a fun holiday everybody. Relax, and don’t take life so serious. There are more than enough opportunities for this to happen. Have a good week.

Well, the Halloween Hustle Fun Run yesterday was a lot of fun, and great weather. It was in the mid 30’s, but very calm. Very good day for a fun run, walk. Here Sarah and I are in are costumes, as we went as the “Incredibles”. Everything for the run, day, event was “Incredible”, and everybody there had a good time. The Jolly Green Giant showed up, and we found “Waldo”, as well as several other super heroes, to name a few.
Molly agreed to wear her costume, here with Sarah, but we could not convince Nick to wear his. He was too serious yesterday, and really wanted to try and win the race. He achieved his goal, winning the race, with a time of 18:46. All of us had a fun morning, and was a great way to spend the day as a family. Following this, Sarah and I went back to the pool for Megan’s swim meet. All of us were busy this weekend!
