beautiful fall weather

what a great evening for a walk. it was crisp and cool outside, the leaves are just beginning to think about turning, the kids were in the field playing soccer, and i got out for another step toward my goal. i decided to make that same 5 mile loop this time out with another few blocks for good measure, it was much easier this time than last, probably a mixture of good sleep, and easy & non-school day, and adequate nutrition before heading out, as well as just the overall build up of strength and stamina.

i also got my first contribution today! a client gave me $20.00 toward my total. that's my plan, get 200 people to donate $20. so, 1 down, 199 to go!

also learned an important lesson today that is especially applicable now that the mileage is getting longer....there is a fine line between proper hydration and an embarrassing incontinence issue. damn, the foliage isn't going to hide me much longer :)

Good to see you are back with a good attitude. This exercise really does have some nice benefits in the form of getting closer to the nature we often go right on by. Congrats on your fund raising. I am so proud of you.

Ahhh--so you learned that one too? Foliage only goes so far.

It sounds like you're going to have to start working a Starbuck's into your route like me :)
