Here Sarah is with the kids at the Breast Cancer run yesterday. Great gathering in support of Breast Cancer, and for moms in general. The kids learn from us on staying active, so parents…start setting the tone if you have not already. And as for Moms, regardless of what Dads may think, you are the one in charge…Lead by example! As for me…

…I learned from the best. We spent yesterday in SF with the family, celebrating Mothers Day, and My parents anniversary which is May 10…it will be 56 years for them together. As I stated above, my mom set the tone, and leads by example. Thanks for everything Mom!

Great day today…The 2011, 23rd Annual Avera Breast Cancer Run. 6,200 people. Great weather, no winds, and family.

It was a great start to a weekend, and then with it being Mothers Day, got to spend it with my parents as well. Until tomorrow…

Attention everybody: The Avera Breast Cancer run/walk is this coming saturday in Sioux Falls. Literally thousands of people will be there. Come join in the activity, whether as a participant, or as a supporter. Nobody out there can say they do not know somebody who has had breast cancer, either they themselves, or somebody they know, either relative or friend. Come show how we care!

The weather today was just what this Doctor ordered! We had the afternoon off, and spent if all outside, soaking up the rays and getting some things done outside. The wind was calm, the lake nearby was looking very good, and has been going down. Once we got done checking out the lake, then….

…we spent the rest of the time outside doing yardwork. Here Sarah is out working in the garden after getting it tilled, and ready to start planting. No medicine can do for you what being outside and enjoying the weather, and staying active can do. After such a long time always being stuck inside, it was great to be able to take advantage of this beautiful day. Enjoy!

The snow is finally gone, and it was a great day to be outside. Walking along the bike trail with Buddy, then later doing some running on my own. The ice is all off of the lake as well, and the water is going down. All in all, I think Spring is finally getting here…

…now we just need to wait for everything to bloom, and get greener. It is nice walking along the trail by the Lake. Great time to think. I hope everybody had an enjoyable Easter as well.

There are many alternatives forms of exercise you can do, and equipment to do exercise with. Above are few examples. Over the next week or so, I will discuss each one of these, and give examples of the types of exercises that you can do with these different forms of equipment. It makes for great alternatives when you are trying to prevent boredom from the same routines all of the time, and when the weather is not cooperative that you can be outside. This last part would not pertain to where we are living now, would it?
