Shall We Try It Again?

Ah! My favorite time of year! Michigan really comes alive in late spring/early summer. What better way to enjoy it than by throwing on a pair a sneaks and hitting the trails? Mile upon mile of clean air await us, if we just take the time to spoil ourselves and take advantage of it. I say spoil as if we're wasting time, but anyone who invests in themselves in this way (better word!) realizes not just the physical benefits of tighter buns and less jiggle in the thighs but also clarity of thought, better sleep, and a more peaceful outlook on life. I find that I learn more about myself and more about my God through the process, and who could disagree that this is better than vegging in front of the television?

Last year I set a walking goal of 500,000 steps between Memorial Day and Labor Day and blew that goal up. I'm increasing it to 760,000 steps this year, which breaks down to 5,000 steps three days a week and 10,000 steps the other four. Sound do-able?

My writing goal is to do a post a week. I'll try to tell you about a different walking location each week, and I'll try to remember my camera since the pictures will likely speak so much stronger than my words could. If you have any trail suggestions for me, please pass them my way.

Enjoy your day. Enjoy this blog.
