Y2W46 Day 7

Posted on December 23, 2012 by admin

Today was a better day out so we did another hike. We went to Donaldson run and hiked familiar trails. We were able to see the Potomac river since the trees are bare. We did not see much in the way of nature, only a few birds. We did get to see many people out hiking in the cold so we were not crazy alone.

What a great day for a hike! The winds were blowing up to 35 miles and hour and the temperature was in the high 30’s to low 40’s. We bundled up really well and had a great time. We even saw a woodpecker, life is good!

I pushed it and did the machine at level 15. It was tough. I have been averaging between 6 and 6.5 hours of sleep a night and have been feeling really tired. I need to break the cycle and get back to going to bed at 8pm.

Day off!

Today was a day off from exercise.  I slept in since I was up late and I took a nap also.  We went to a neighbor’s Christmas Party and we ate, drank and were merry.  Tonight was the last night of Hanukkah.  Here are all the candles lit with our Christmas tree in the background…

Y2W45 Day 6

Posted on December 15, 2012 by admin

AM:
45 min elliptical machine

PM:
90 min hike in Rock creek park.

The day turned out better than expected. We took advantage of that. The Park was a pleasure to see this time of year. No bugs, no heat, no sweating, and plenty of folks with their dogs and the occasional squirrel or wood pecker. It was nice. We even saw this cool out cropping of rocks with some ferns growing on it. Most excellent!
