It was a very good week last week, back to the morning walks and even a bit more:
Monday: 2 hours walk
Tuesday: 1 hour 20 minutes walk
Wednesday: 50 minute walk
Thursday: 1 hour 10 minutes walk
Friday: 30 minutes walk
Saturday: stayed at home
Sunday; 20 minutes walk
Monday: stayed at home

So why do I say incongruous?  Weeeeell, here’s a photo…

These people always have nice flowers and their spring garden banner got caught in the snow!  Which is still quite deep here in many places, although some earth is finally showing and temps have risen 10-20 degrees above freezing during the afternoon.  And it’s so great [...]

Ahh, the weather has improved and with that has come a lift in mood and energy. Some sun, longer daylight, some blue sky, some milder temperatures during the day although still chill at night. It’s been a busy week–and this busy pace will continue through the month with numerous after work events but I want [...]

At this time of year I find myself wishing I’d set aside time and money for a southern, winter vacation. I felt it especially this past week of slush and gray skies. Ah, well, maybe next year…
This was a poor exercise week:
Sunday 2/21–1/2 hour walk outside
Monday–Work, then dinner out, then chorus practice–no exercise
Tuesday – Thursday–Feeling [...]

Hello!  Too much snow!  But the winds of March are here & hopefully that snow will be gone soon.  We still have PILES of it.  But thanks to Leslie Sansone, I am staying fit – I’m close to buying a new DVD since I’m getting a little bored with the one I have.  This one [...]

Last week was not so hot with exercise. Various deliveries, appointments and husband home sick canceled the early morning walks that have been the main meat of my exercise program these last months. Did manage 15-20 minutes each day, but not more. Saturday went for a long 70 minute walk. Yesterday had a 15 minute [...]

Bonjour, tout le monde!  Well, my leak is no longer leaking – the guy who came to clean the snow off the roof said that it may relate to my attic being too warm, so I blocked off my attic door using a sort of homemade method & it seems to be working.  Frankly, I [...]

Can’t believe there is no reprieve from the ice, snow, and slush… No more said.
Tuesday: 80 min. walk
Wednesday: 45 min. walk
Thursday: 70 min. walk
Friday: 20 min. walk
Saturday: 40min. walk
Sunday: 35 min. walk with daughter (more talking than walking since streets were pure ice mingled with dirty water)

Despite a snowy/sleety forecast for the coming week, it’s beginning to feel more like spring around here–birds singing their spring song, a few brave crocuses poking up, the little snow we had is almost gone.
Here’s this week’s tally:
Monday 2/15–30 minute walk outside
Thursday 2/18–15 minute walk plus strength/stretch mat work for about 15 – 20 minutes
Friday [...]

I’ve been away visiting friends in southern and western Germany. It was a lovely time of good talks and fine walks. I didn’t keep a record, but I did walk every day for at least 30 minutes and there were three days of walking an hour. Since returning on Saturday:
Sunday: 60 minutes walking
Monday: 85 minutes [...]
