Went out with Buddy this AM for a walk. We got some snow last night, but with the upcoming temps, I don’t think it will last long. Buddy was in the holiday spirit, and was fired up to go walking.
From Buddy and I, we say to you all: Hope your holidays are filled with good times, family time, and just time to do things for yourselves. Stay healthy. Stay active. Have fun. Whatever your faith, or your beliefs this time of year, it is a time for family. Spend it well with them, and do it however you chose to do. Happy Winter Solstice! Merry Christmas! Take care for now!

Out walking with Buddy late this AM on the bike trail, enjoying the fact that we do not have much snow yet, even though it has been cold enough to create a good ice layer on the lake. Out on the lake was a parent with their yound child, playing hockey. You could hear all the laughing and cheering from the little one, just having a ball. Now this is how you take advantage of winter, and you go out and play, and exercise. This is a great way to stay active.
They wer skaing all along the shore line, and using the hockey sticks, and going after the puck. Maybe a future all-american hockey player! Out on the lake were quite a few people ice fishing as well. You get to relax once you are out there and set up, but it involves a lot of work and activity to get out there and set up. Take advantage of what the weather provides. You can find ways to be active, and yet have fun. Have a good christmas season coming. Stay active!

Even though the Lake is getting iced over, the temperatures this weekend have been very nice, and very enjoyable for spending outside. When we went walking today, we saw severa out on the Lake ice fishing already. It was 41 degrees when we went this afternoon. The longer we go with no other snow, the better!
Here Sarah and Buddy are walking towards me by the boat landing near Jackson Park. We plan on taking advantage of thes days outside with no snow and ice for as long as we can. You do the same! Have a good week coming up!

Yes, it is getting colder outside, but we still have no snow, or very little. Here Sarah is getting ready to go out this sunday morning with Buddy for a walk, who is ready anytime! You just have to be smarter about what you wear.
Here is a close up of Sarah. She has several layers on, and the face mask and hat. She went out with Buddy for a 3 mile walk, or about 45 minutes time, and did fine. You still have the options of doing exercise indoors, but there are times when you just need to get out, and have other things to look at. Take advantage of the no snow yet. It will be coming! Have a good week coming!

The annual Parade of Lights was again the day after Thanksgiving. It was great weather to be outside for. The temperature stayed in the upper 30’s. It was another way to get some more exercise in, and we covered about 2 miles with the parade. This is a side view of our Brown Clinic float.
Here is a view from the backside. “Merry Christmas”. It won’t be long before this holiday is here. Hopefully everybody had a good Thanksgiving, and a good holiday weekend. Enjoy the week coming up. Keep moving!

Here, Molly and Sarah are getting their numbers ready to wear for the Annual Turkey Day Race/Walk. For our family, it has started to become a family tradition for Thanksgiving. This obsiously has for a lot of other families too, and many of the same people come each year. Thanksgiving is a time when a lot of the families get back together for the holidays, and this is a good way to make it a part of tradition.
This is the race finish line. You cross the mat, and the timing system is connected to enter you and your time because of the chip we all have on our shoes. It worked great this year. As far as I know, there were no glitches. It did not work the greatest last year, maybe because of how cold it was. We use this same system for the hospital hill run, and we usually have some glitches with it. It still works much better than manually timing everybody, and then trying to get everybody categorized into their age brackets. Keep in mind for next year. Hope to see you then!
