After working all day yesterday under an oppressive deadline, I escaped to walk on the bike path. My head was so full of work and personal stuff that I didn't listen to my iPod. I just walked really fast and listened to the birds, the rushing water through the culverts, and the wind in the trees. I took in the sights and slowed the pace to leisurely for the walk back. Just beautiful.  A good decompression exercise.

took a walk after work, even though i've felt sick for the past two days...it was so nice to get some fresh air and sunshine.

I took Middy for a walk yesterday, down to the town park, and when we passed behind the elementary school I saw this small pile of white "stuff' next to the curb. It was in upper 60s and all the snow, everywhere is gone. I went over, and it was snow! I couldn't believe it.

What's weird is sleeveless in snow!

Do the exercise that you enjoy the most. It must be much more fun to go snowshoeing than going to the gym.

Ugh, I am so bored with the gym.

I went for a little hike on Friday, the weather was so warm and wonderful.  But I really should have brought my snowshoes.
This photo of me is so weird.



I don't know if hiking is as good exercise as the gym... I tried to push it... without hurting myself or risking falling. 

It's amazing how there were zero birds up in the hills... they're all around the lowlands I guess.

I wanna go!

January 17


Me and my wonderful gear (lightweight, breathable, water resistant coat; fanny pack with stuff that could sustain me if I broke my ankle; new awesome snow pants; gaiters; excellent snowshoes; trek poles (over by the camera).  The gear makes ALL the difference.

I LOVE hiking in winter.  No bugs.  No spider webs.  Less sweating.


Dear tracks. Another thing I love about winter.
 How do they get through those little spaces??

i did that for years at my last job.

now, finding myself relocated and unemployed, i take my walk around 3.  this apartment complex has a nice path around a big pond.  i walk to the pond, which is some distance, take a lap, then i get the mail, and come back.

Geezopete.  5pm and not really light enough to go for a walk.    boooo.  Gonna be even worse next week! 

I really MUST get in the habit of noontime walk. 
been sayin that for years.
