Me, Her, the Boy and a Dog

The adventures of me, her, my boy and our dog as we navigate life in a crazy world. We love the outdoors, sports, reading, playing, and of course, the Virginia Tech Hokies and the William & Mary Tribe.

Also, I founded the GoFightWinVT Tumblr, so if you're a Hokie, give it a follow. And, feel free to check out my Project 365 Tumblr.

Lunchtime walk.

I killed it last night at the gym.

Today’s walk. Pretty good clip, too.

Didn’t have time for a full workout today, so even though it was raining a bit, I grabbed my umbrella and went for a quick 2-mile walk. Then it was right back to my desk. Felt good to get some fresh air.

Another nice day, another fast-paced walk instead of 30 minutes at the gym on a boring bike or treadmill going nowhere. I figure I can get some extra walking in where as if I went to the gym, I have to spend 30 minutes changing in and out of clothes, plus a shower. Walking isn’t as hard core, but it’s easier on the joints and at the pace I go, I’m definitely burning calories.

The wind chill outside is 18 degrees. Yep. I was one of those crazy people you see running in sub freezing temperatures. My fellow runners and fitness friends on Tumblr help keep me going - thanks, y’all - especially this post from @graceinplace.

Power walk to return a library book. And I’m saving gas and putting less pollution in the air we breath. Just another Friday.

EDIT: That’s how I stroll.

It was 63 degrees outside today, so instead of going to the gym, I put my running shoes on and decided to walk from my office to the library to return a book. And do you know that of all the students I passed, easily more than a hundred, only one smiled and said hi.

Went for a run. Not too shabby. The right music really helps.

My legs are pretty sore from yesterday’s lifting, so today, since it was so nice outside, I decided to skip the gym and go for a brisk walk.
