Manual labour

I am not sure how many calories it burns, but I am sure paying for it today. I spent about four hours on sunday, weeding, digging, hauling yard waste trying to make a realatives backyard presentable. I am feeling muscles today I wasn't aware I had. And to make matter even better, the city didn't take all the bags during collection this morning, so I had to haul them back to the garage so when the rain hits the bags don't disintergrate.

So basically I was tired, I hurt, I had worked a full day on my feet and the most I wanted to do tonight was lay on the couch and fall into a coma but I didn't. I would like to say it was due mainly to my willpower and desire to lose weight but in reality my dogs consistant begging did the trick. But here is where I am most proud of myself. I started out the walk saying to myself, just go around the track one time, your just not up to it tonight. Then on the second lap I thought, okay 3 times around aint to bad. So by the time I did the fourth I was pretty pleased with myself.

Last Sundays Walk



I Started near the white tents, there was lots of men in kilts and uniforms running around! Some kind of military presentation was going on. Bagpipes are interesting background music to walk to!







It was a beautiful day out but extremely windy, especially under the bridges



Almost to the end of the trail, 3 km later



Some little friends lurking on the side of the trail




Of course I was tempted to take the trolley back, but that would be cheating now wouldn't it?


6 km in 1 hr and 35 min
