Would anyone like to join me for a walk? I know this isn't much to choose from but my time is much more limited now with school.

Tuesday, Sept. 9th How about 11:00?
Our schedule is going to be completely out of wack for walking starting next week. I am going to have to change to afternoons. Anyone else available at that time? Say 1:30ish? Or later still- 3:30ish would be even better! Let me know!

Woodsy Walking
Wee wittle Kylie went for a woodsy walk with us! I think she snoozed the whole way. It was very peaceful.

It has been a long old while since we have got together to go walking. Anyone up to going again? I make no promises about the weather, but I really need to go whether or not the weather is wet or dry. Somehow I said yes to a 1/2 marathon coming up in October, and I really am no where near where I should be fitness-wise. HELP!

Anyone else feel up to taking a walk. If Dayla hasn't had her baby we could help her get labor started! :)

Victoria gets a new "appliance" from her orthodontist right after the walk. I think she should get a matching set: washer and dryer perhaps?

From the Sonoma Diet newsletter: I know that you already know all these things but thought I would remind you that this is a worthy thing to do. And I want to see more arm swinging fun! :)
Walk This Way
You know you should exercise every day, but sometimes it just doesn't seem feasible — it's too overwhelming to sign up for individual classes, too hectic to try and work out at home, and too expensive to join a gym. On the other hand, there isn't much to prevent you from walking. It's free, easy to start, can be done almost anywhere and for any distance, and, well, you already know how to do it. Plus, the health benefits are amazing. A regular walking program can help lower cholesterol and blood pressure, improve cardiovascular stamina, and burn calories. Here are some tips to get you started:
Dress for success: Dress in layers that can be removed or added as needed. Even on a chilly day, walking can increase your body temperature. And wear comfortable walking shoes that support your arches and ankles.
Loosen up: Before your walk, be sure to stretch your hamstrings and calf muscles. Also, do a few neck rolls, and stretch your back and shoulders. The looser you are, the better and more invigorating your walk will be.
Start slow: If you're just beginning a walking program, take it slow at first. Maybe you'll only walk 5 or 10 minutes the first few weeks. Gradually build up to about 30 minutes a day as you feel ready.
Have fun: Swing your arms naturally while you walk and don't be too concerned with how fast you're going. And be sure to breathe normally. You should be able to have a conversation. If you feel short of breath, slow down until you return to a normal breath and heart rate.

Whatever the sky says....we must be out walking! Be brave my dear sisters, be brave!
Well, I went a walking all alone,
Jill and I were supposed to meet and then the basement out at the Keddies had water in it, and Jill was trying to get that figured out. So with no way to get ahold of me, she came late, and I had already started out. While walking alone I saw....(sorry you did not see these- Hee hee).....
The flowers, trees and grasses which over the last few weeks of spring? were growing and becoming lush in spite of the cold. It looks very different now from when we started.
I saw so many people with big smiles on thier faces. Did I have a booger? Another bad hair day!?
One momma goose had about 7 little goslings and they were all cuddled together on the bank. Fuzzy little feathery cute babies, awww.
One litte bunny went hopping across the path, then went and nibbled at some leaves by the side of the trail. He did not seem to think I was at all important.
I made it to our bridge, and since I am trying to challenge myself, this time I crossed the bridge! Ha. I found some shots I want to take with my camera, and the Willows Run golf course is there on the other side. Who knew?
Then my favorite sight was coming back, yes it had started to drizzle slightly but it felt pretty refreshing, was.....Jill! We had a great visit on the way back and I was so glad I had come.
See you soon, out walking!

Ooops I forgot to post for Tuesday! We got in early Tuesday morning after a couple nights up in the hills. You would not have wanted to be seen with me, but I should have made the post for the rest of you. Of course you could also get a date posted if you felt so inclined. Would anyone be interested in a different walking day? We could add one or change one!! The weather is nicer on days that we don't have scheduled. Anyone else notice this strange phenomenon?
Hope to see you all soon!!
Hope to see you all soon!!
