Glad to see the thread still going strong!
Sara - Wish I could make myself go to the gym, really need to do the upper body weights too, just can't seem to make myself do it when it's so nice out and the dogs look so sad if I don't walk them
Jan - Was so surprised to read about the kids being in school, still want it to be Summer, have lots of summer things on my to do list
Jean - I agree that reading this and of course having someone in the family that keeps a regular work out schedule really gets you going
Kay - Isn't it written somewhere that if your child exercises, you get some benefit from that as the child came from you therefore is a part of you and that means some part of you exercised, so encourage her to continue the volleyball
Cindy - I didn't like reading that the pool is about to close as it's another reminder that Summer is almost gone. Please keep dancing whether you get that beautiful dress or not and whether you are good at it or not because when you mention your dancing I imagine you dancing and having a great time.
I rode my bike again and got another flat, my husband fixed it, I threatened to leave it on the bike trail if it happened again. I'm now riding a different bike. The night after the 2nd flat we had a windstorm that made it impossible for me to ride, to much dust in the air. Tonight I came home, dried a load of clothes while making a dinner that would keep while I rode my bike. Headed out and ran into my husband riding home from work, we rode a bit longer then headed for home, without a flat, yea! We will be riding the Hiawatha Trail around Sept. 20th. We will be on vacation so it depends on the weather, we're really hoping it doesn't rain as we would like to do some hiking as well. As I mentioned before the Trail was built on an old railroad track. Last year over 33,000 mountain bikers rode the trail. The trail goes through several tunnels and over 3 trestles, one tunnel is 1.7 miles long. The rail was built in 1906 and in 1910 there was a fire that destroyed the trestles and burned thousands of acres of forest. They rebuilt the trestles and the railroad ran until the late 70's. This year was the 100th anniversary of the fire, they wrote several articles in the local paper. They told us how the engineers rode the rails to find people stranded by the fires and how they drove the trains over burning trestles so the could stop the trains in the tunnels to wait out the fires. The fire is stilled called the biggest fire in the entire US. I will take my camera and hopefully figure out how to post a picture or two of the trail. Jill
