It was a very busy week, both at home and at work. It was homecoming week for the Watertown Arrows, with lots of activities for the kids, and for the parents, to be busy. We also had a cross country meet, the homecoming parade, the girls were in the powder puff football game, the actuall football game friday night, and then Molly and Nick had a band competition in SF yesterday. We all were staying very active this week. With the weather these last few weekends, it has been great to get outside and enjoy it. Keep going, and spend time outside as long as we can.

Well, today I started a new year. I finished after yesterday, 4 years in a row of exercsising everyday! Now it is second nature. I do it without even thinking about it. That is what you need to do in regards to your exercise and activity. Once it becomes a habit, it becomes much easier. Don’t get me wrong, there are days that are still tougher than others, but the hardest part is getting out and doing it. Once you get going, the rest gets much easier, and you feel so much better, and are happy for doing it. Keep your chin up! Keep at it! You can do it too! Remember to pick activities that you like to do. If you do activities that seem more of a chore, or you really don’t like doing, you won’t continue with it. I enjoy my activities, and right now, would not have it any other way!

This morning was perfect to go out for a walk, so of course, I took my training buddy, “Buddy”. We were out walking, and Sarah was coming back from running, so he had to go greet her as well, and then wanted to go running with her. He turned 9 this summer, and the running is getting a little tough for him, but he does great walking, so he had to finish up with me.
We took a little break about half way through, and went and watched the Lake from the new dock they put in this summer. Very nice day. Our days of this weather are getting more limited by the day, so make sure you get out with your training “buddy” and enjoy the weather. Here is to a good week coming.

With the air being cooler in the morning, it makes for some great scenery when the sun comes out. Here this AM, this “jet stream” of fog was in the air. Very peaceful and relaxing time to go out running and pass through some of these pockets of fog. The time goes by even faster when you have some interesting things to look at while you are out exercising. When the sun was shining more later, these pockets of fog were just hanging low to the bike trail, and made for an indescribable calm as I passed through them. It made for a great way to start the day. Try it sometime!

Rode around the Lake this afternoon on my bike after it quit raining and started to warm, and the weather was perfect to go for a walk. Bike path is good at times, but sometimes you just need to get off of the beaten path and be alone to think. It was a perfect day for that. Everything is always so busy, with all of us having a thousand things to do, and even that won’t get us caught up. We need to get things done, but we also need to take time to relax and enjoy. In the next few days, it is supposed to cool down again, and then will warm back up again, and last awhile. I am ready to hang on to these kind of days for as long as possible. Take the time to get out…you won’t regret it. Enjoy the coming week.
