walking...

so I have continued my nightly mile walk since Sunday! I feel great ~ it is a little boring circling the trail 4 times to get a mile, but it is a start. :) I even have visions of running it some day - we'll see about that though. Not sure my 42 year old knees can take running!


I am getting ready to go out of town this weekend. We are having a family reunion in Austin. It will be great seeing all the family that I haven't seen in a while. My favorite cousin Milly that I spent my summers with ~ we would spend ALL day in bed reading our books, only getting up to eat. My cousin Monica who has 4 kids now. A cousin Lisa that I have not seen since we were about 12 or 13. My girls are excited to see their cousins too, the next generation :)


The girls and I will stay in Austin on our own for an extra day. I have a few things planned for us and am going to enjoy the time! Next week is both birthdays ~ Ava will be 5 and Zoe will be 3!! I am planning some fun activities all week for us. Not sure when we will have an official birthday party - need to check schedules, but it will be soon.

I finally got a digital camera so I will be posting more pictures soon ~ of my girls, of all the house projects I have planned, maybe even of cooking! I am feeling inspired :)

  2. Good for you. Keep up the walking. My 43-year old knees need to be walking. I've been running a couple times a week to try to incinerate some calories, but it is killing my knees. I think I'm going to have to stop and start walking instead.

  5. I would LOVE to see some more pictures of your family and stuff. :)

    Your walk sounds like a good start to running. Don't let youself get talked into the trap of "too old to run"... you have a good nother 50 years left... if you are too old now... ;) I plan on still hucking boxes of veggies around and building shelves when I am in my 60's.

    Walking... I still have to find a circle for us around here. We are in true suberbia... all culdesacs. Once I find a trail though, we are going to start biking! Breaking out the big guns huh? lol!

  6. Ok, pantry shelves... wow. I have a lot of food on there. How about I send you to a link with all my notes for what I have in the jars?
