Another day another 5

Yesterday I was researching a little on the WW site... (ok I was procrastinating instead of getting my other work done!) but it was a good thing!  I came across a local walking group that walks during the week.  One of my downfalls is I don't walk during the week and I think that is a big reason why I "failed" to complete my training for the marathon last time.  At first you don't notice it but when the stretches become 15 - 20 km plus... and you haven't done any walking in the week - it gets tough and injuries happen. 

Sooooo, I went on a very nice 5 km walk with this "new" walking group (6 showed up today) at Mill Lake Park. Its a little hidden park/lake in the middle of the city.  I had great company - including a Chihuahua named Quil and another little Heinz 57  named Lily.  Despite the threatening rain the time went real fast with all our chatter and laughter. 

Not only am I doing the walking I am trying to do a little therapy with my knee to keep it strengthened. So last night I called up my pal Jo (Joanne) and said "Hey! the pool is open again lets go to water aerobics!  She said "good idea!"   So off we went - the award is the soak in the hot tub after!   Best of all our class was small (6 including instructor) and the pool was not busy at all! So we have made a pact that every Wednesday ... off to the pool for water aerobics! 

Wow I don't know where this good head space has come from - and all this energy... maybe its cause I started taking my vitamins again or maybe after a year I don't feel so burnt out anymore!
