I have never seen the golf course here, with the bike trail, like this in January. It has been great continuing to be able to use the bike trail yet this winter, and not having the snow. It makes it much easier to go outside and continue to stay active. How are the rest of you doing with your New Year’s resolutions to get more active, and to watch your diet? Well, it definitely makes things a little easier when the weather cooperates. This last week, with some of the days getting up in the 50’s, people have been out like crazy walking, biking, or running, and taking advantage of this weather. Appreciate it, and take advantage as long as we can.
Buddy was saying, “Enough of this taking picture stuff, we came out here to go walking. Get moving!”. You are right Buddy, but sometimes you have to sit back and enjoy the day as well. You all do the same. The next few days are going to be in the upper 40’s. Hope to see you outside! Keep working on those resolutions. Persistence is the key…

Hopefully you all had a great Christmas! The weater was great, and we got to spend some of the time outside enjoying the weather. We spent part of it in Huron seeing Grandma and Grandpa Folk. Then after we got done eating, it was so nice out we all went out for about a 2 mile walk. I don’t remember the last Christmas we went out as a family for a walk!
Here we are getting ready to go. Just waiting for Nick and Grandpa, who were out riding a 4 wheeler. Some kids never grow up! Hope everybody’s holidays were fun, and that you all got to spend time with your family. Enjoy! Stay active!

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!
