Day 19 - Exercise and Exercising Buddies

I am so grateful to have friends to exercise with. I have been walking every week day (well almost) since the middle of April. When we started it was just one friend and I and our kids. It was great to be able to stroll and work off the baby weight. The time changed and a few more friends joined us and we kept walking through the summer. We went about 3 miles each day. When the weather started cooling off, we decided we needed to do something, but it was getting too cold to walk with our kids during the day. So, we switched to 6:00 AM!! We are also doing the Cool Running: Couch to 5k Running Plan. We are now on week 6 -- Tomorrow we have a 25 minute jog!

By the way -- Anyone is welcome to join us! We would love to have your company at 6:00 AM. Just give me a call and I will give you the rest of the details. :) You can also come and just walk or start at the beginning of the plan or whatever. It is just great to be able to get some exercise in at the beginning of the day!

Besides the physical benefits of exercising, I am also grateful to have wonderful ladies to talk to. This has been awesome for me emotionally! Thanks!! :)

Enough about me...Alton is also grateful for exercising and for having a workout buddy. He works out on campus before or between classes. He has really enjoyed lifting weights. It is been good to have someone to push him and encourage him to do more. :)
