With the weather this hot, you need to be especially mindful of making sure that you are going to take in adequate water. If you wait until you are thirsty, you are already behind. When the heat index gets this high, you need to exercise, or be outdoors in general, early in the morning, or late in the evening, and be sure to hydrate well before, during, and after the activity. We all appreciate some nice weather, it just is a little hard to take it all at one time. Be safe, enjoy the summer, and stay hydrated!!!

Here is our float from the 4th of July parade. Brown Clinic, the Bedrock of Healthcare, with the Flinstones theme. It was a great day for being outside and enjoying the weather. Our cast of characters from the Flinstones was a big hit at the parade. Our float took 2nd overall for float design.
Here is our cast of characters. I am Fred Flinstone, with Wilma (Sarah) next to me. We also had Barney, Betty, Pebbles, Bam Bam, Dino, Cave man, and another dinosaur. Lots of fun! The parade route covers about 2 miles, so great walking activity as well. Enjoy the rest of the summer!

The New York trip was definitely an eye opener! Lots of people. The only grass I saw was here at Central Park…full of a lot of people relaxing, walking, enjoying the day. The one thing about where we were at, and Time Square, the easiest way to get a round was to WALK! We did lots of walking. Even the tour guides said that people in New York do a lot of walking, because of the traffic, crowds, this is one of the easier ways to get around…that and the subway! Anyway, I logged miles and miles each day in the evenings out walking. Now we have warm weather here as well…just would be nice if we did not get all of it in one day. Have a good rest of the week.

A perfect Spring Day…great temperature, calm winds…perfect to be outside. These golfers enjoy the day, and get exercise, although they would get more exercise if they leave the cart behind.
Besides anything exercise related, spending time out like this is a good social event as well. A time to relax, enjoy the company of friends, and be active. This is all important when it comes to general wellness, and well being. So, everybody, get outside, and move! Go do something, and enjoy this weather.

And we are off! Yesterday was our 15th annual Hospital Hill run/walk. We had approx 200 participants. Best of all…we had great weather! Good turn out, for a good cause…proceeds will go the Prairie Lakes Caring Club House.
Nick after the race…he got 3rd overall…but I was breathing down his neck as I came in 5th. Good day for the race, and Nick had a good 14th birthday as well. The race was initially developed by me 15 years ago as a means to get people out and be active, whether running or walking. Stay healthy, and have fun! Thanks to all my support people for helping to make this event a success…there is no way I could do this by myself. Thanks to all of you for all of your help!

Saturday was the 7th Annual Ford Law Office Time Trial bike ride around the lake, followed by the family poker ride. The temp was in the upper 50’s, but the initial ride around the lake was very windy, making for a challenging ride in the open. It was a very good day to be outside though.
Participants are lining up for final instructions prior to starting. Sarah and I went out for a bike ride earlier today, and the winds were very calm today. It made for a very enjoyable, comfortable ride today after racing yesterday. See how the weather holds out for the coming week. Enjoy!
