Saturday, in the park...

(thanks, Chicago... and sorry to reader NC who absolutely hates that song!)

It's a gorgeous day, and a Saturday to boot. What could be better? 50 degrees, sunny, and no plans til later this afternoon. Makes motivation so much easier. I went for a bit longer walk/run today, through the park near my house, and it was just packed with joggers, walkers, bikers and the like. Amazing what a little rise in temperature will do.

I know it's only been 6 days, but I'm already starting to feel more stamina. My pedometer tells me that I'm going a longer distance in the same amount of time, and I think it will just get better. I went out for about 50 mins today, then home to do some weights and a little 20-min yoga (hip openers--great post-jog stretch). All in all, today feels great so far.

Yesterday I had one of my dearest friends for a visit for most of the day, so no jogging for me. However, she was a great excuse to take a 5-mile or so walk around the city to see a few of the sights. Yay for friends.

Speaking of... another visitor arrives in about an hour and a half, so it's time to put some of this motivation towards swiffering and scrubbing bubbles. Woo!
