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!

Here was the registration area for the Turkey Day Race/Walk yesterday on Thanksgiving. All of the packets of the pre-registered people are all set up. There were also people registering that morning. A total of 329 participants for the day.
Here Jill Makepeace, family and friends are getting ready for the race. They decided to participate wearing “tutus”. It was a great way to spend the morning. Pumpkin pie for all participants, but after the race/walk was done. You had to earn your pie! I will show a few more images tomorrow as well.

The annual Turkey Day Race, 5K run and 2 mile walk, will be again on Thanksgiving, this thursday, starting at 10 AM. The weather is supposed to be great, and it is a great way to get your exercise in before you sit down and eat the rest of the day. It is a great social gathering, and usually about 150+ people that come. Below is the information for the race. Come out and enjoy before the holiday meal!

Once the winter storm left the snow, then things calmed down pretty well. It was a huge difference out at the lake. Relatively calm today, but very cold. It is on days like this when you have to make adjustments to your exercise routine. I decided to work out inside today and rode the bike. I did my exercise outside later moving snow.
Mother Nature can at least make is look really pretty out…a day after it was pretty ugly outside. When we live here, we take the good with the bad. Looking forward to some better temperatures again as the week goes on, and maybe a lot of this snow may be gone then. Dare to dream!
