Fall Fitness

Fall is a great time to walk, run, bike.... I love my fall joggings... With all the color to see, leaves to smell, crisp & cool air to feel...who wouldn't love it! Still, it's easy to overeat with all those pumpkin treats and Halloween candy ... Thanksgiving is coming up, then Christmas, New Years... What's a person to do? I'm hoping by starting a journal, I can control some of this holiday madness.

Hopefully, this will spur me on...

Exercise...no problem... Eating right? Still an issue! And this is, of course, a dangerous part of year.

November 24th is blood work time... Hope I can eat right for few weeks to make it a good one (like...OK....then let loose and eat bad again after the test????)....

So...I'll be looking for some new things to eat and stick with my scaled down Triathlon training and just keep pluggin' along.... Here was one not so new sandwich idea I resurrected... Boy was it tasty! Forgot about these... Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato on Whole Grain bread (this bread had flax seed in it...yum)!

Yummy.... Later....

Yesterday, I ran through the neighborhood on a bright, sunny, refreshing morning. The trail would be too wet so I gave Russ the car for his "guys" meeting at church rather than drop him off and run the full circle at the prairie path only to rush afterwards and pick him up! What a beautiful morning it was! Sometimes, it's fun to be back on the road and dig some new scenery. The colors are changing and the weather is cooler (a friend to joggers/runners)!

Running down Massachusetts Dr.

Stop? No way! Keep on runnin'.... It was a GREAT run and next to no discomfort later in the day, as sometimes, this happens.

Afterwards, we went to Keller' Farm to buy my mother in law and myself a mum plant. While we were there, we bought pumpkins, gourds, eating corn, Indian corn, home made bread and McIntosh apples! Sixty some dollars later, we came home! Geesh! Anyway...Happy Autumn!

Truckload of Autumn! Time to decorate! Have a great week!
